How To Say It
Use these natural phrases to sound confident in real situations.
Why it works
很实用,直接说出“this”就能指代手里的那件衣服,听起来自然不生硬。

Don't Say This
Common mistakes and how to sound more natural.

Native insight

Say instead
Can I try it on?
Native insight
中文“试一下”很泛,英语里要根据对象选动词;衣服、鞋子通常用 try on。
How much is it with discount?
Say instead
How much is it with the discount?
Native insight
中文里“折扣”常不加限定词,但英语里要看是一般折扣还是特定折扣。

Say instead
This shirt is small on me.
Native insight
中文会说“对我来说太小”,但英语更常从“穿在身上”的效果来表达。

Key Takeaways
Do you have this in a medium?
