“Fair enough”为口语常见说法,重点是让步或保留,暗示某种争议或分歧。大体相当于汉语“好吧”、“也行”、“还可以”、“没意见”等,有时近于空洞、含混的“嗯”、“哦”、“好”等。
1.You can play the exercises pretty well on piano, fair enough, but can you play the movement expressively?
还不错
2.“I don‘t feel like going out tonight - I’ve got a bit of a headache.”
“Fair enough.”那行吧
3.“I‘ll wait just one more day.”
“Fair enough, you’ve been very patient.”也行
4.“Say, okay, I‘ll do the dishes if you’ll cook dinner tonight.”
“Fair enough.”可以啊
5.A: If you want to work in this office and meet with clients, you’ll have to cut your hair.
B: Fair enough. 好吧
6.Lucy: The boss is coming to the office this afternoon. I’ll hide the Wii, if you’ll cover the pinball machine
Jeff: Fair enough. 我没意见
7.I think the Red Sox will win the World Series this year.
Fair enough. 哦
8.Girl: “We‘re gonna stop by later is that alright?”
Roommate: “Fair enough.”嗯
注:
英文近义词包括all right、OK、very well、I agree、alright then、it’s acceptable等,但有些词汇可用于非让步语境,此时不能改用fair enough。如:
9.“How are you feeling?”
“OK.”还不错
【不存在让步,不宜用fair enough】
10.A: “I‘m not broke.”
B: “You did overdraw your account”
A: “Fair enough”也是
【存在让步,不宜用OK】
11.“Here’s a thousand dollars.”
“Fair enough.”也可以
【取决于语境;此处fair enough暗示旧账,比如损坏赔偿,存在让步;否则宜用all right,比如父母给孩子钱,不存在让步】
