作為母語是中文的英語學習者，特別是英語初學者，想必經常遇到的一大難題就是難以規避的Chinglish表達。我們的母語環境在每一位學習者身上都刻上了深深的烙印，產生了極具標志性的影響。這樣的影響從表面來看在于語言，從深層來看，其實在于思維。細心并且渴求突破學習瓶頸的你，一定還記得前不久分享給大家的“體驗式學習法“。想必大家也了解到：體驗式學習法的要點之一是培養英語思維，將英語學習切實地聯系到自身的生活體驗和經歷中。教研君一直秉承這樣的觀點：語言學習的最終目的是交流，活學活用才是根本之道。因此如何讓我們所講的英語真正為native的老外所聽懂，是我們進行英語交流的最初出發點也是最終歸宿。
可是一講到交流，大家就要哭訴：“老外講的話明明每個詞我都認識，但連起來我就是搞不清楚正確的意思。”或者：“我講的話沒有錯啊，和我構想的中文意思一字不差、一一對應呢，可是為什么老外就是聽不懂?”小伙伴們，這就是我們所說的文化和思維差異啦。簡單地說，為了達到語言交流的目的，我們就要有意地規避明顯存在的文化和思維差異，盡可能地貼近目標語言慣用的表達方式。在本文中，教研君暫且將這些慣用的表達方式稱作“俚語”(實際上，依據不同標準，對于“俚語”一詞的定義也是不一的)。本文整理了一些與人際交往相關的常用俚語。不用多說，直接上表格。絕對精華，值得小伙伴們猛烈收藏!
