98%的英语高手都不会用的实用表达

admin

大家在日常生活中，相信谁都碰到过与人争论或互怼掐架的情形。当你很生气的时候说出的话，大部分时候都是不堪入耳，令人中伤的。那么说英语的老外碰到此种场面，又是如何表达和应对的呢？看完这篇文章，你将掌握绝大部分英语高手都不会用的一个单词及短语表达。

Dignify

试想一下：我们中国人在与人争议时，你感觉对方强词夺理、你可能会说：这人很贱，懒得跟他（她）理论，又或是：犯不着跟她/他吵，那等于是高看他（她）了。这种场景转换到英语表达，如何说才显得地道呢？下面我们来看一段视频剪辑：

Dignify sth with a response： It's a way of saying that you are wrong while simultaneously cutting off any possibility of having you defend your views. There are times when it is socially appropriate to say this, as for example when someone makes an outrageous, false statement designed to be hurtful. But there are other times when it's just a manipulative tool.

用"I won't even dignify sth with a response"来表示自己对于对手说话的不屑一顾。（要么认为对方说的话过于肤浅、辱没；要么觉得不可理喻、荒谬至极）

It is a response. It communicates by implication that the question is either basically faulty, tremendously insulting or that the answer is so obvious that for the person to "answer" the question is below their standards for communicating.
