　　[1]Have you thought about…..是一个非常有用的句子。汉语翻译是你有没有想过。。。？怎么样，有没有想过交个女友？有没有想过嫁给他？。。。。。一个好问题是打开话匣子的关键

　　[2]It really freaks me out,表示让我不安，freak是一个口语中很常用的词，作为名词，它表示某人长相或想法很怪，比如说，He is such a freak.他这个人太怪了

　　[3]All things are difficult before they are easy.万事开头难，汉语中的谚语不要按字面意思直译，否则就会闹出笑话。象我们常说的有其父必有其子就译成Like father,like son.
