在看到、听到或碰到让你生气、郁闷、惊讶、震惊的事时,很多人会觉得“无语”,在微信上是必然要发个“无语”的表情的。

那么,如何用英文表达“无语”呢?很简单:Words fail me.
这句话的意思等于是:I’m so surprised /angry /shocked that I don’t know what to say. “fail”在这里的意思是“失去作用/没能发挥作用/令人失望”,就是指“找不到合适的话语来描述自己的感受”。
Just look at this mess. Look at it.
It's...Words fail me!
看看这一团糟。看看吧。这真是……我无语!
To go out with a total stranger... I really cannot...
well, words fail me.
跟个完全不认识的人出去……我真是不能……好吧,我无语。
Words fail me!
How could you have been so stupid?
我真是无语!你怎么能这么蠢呢?
A: What did you think of his pink outfit?
你觉得他那套粉色衣服怎么样?
B: Words fail me. I've never seen
anything quite like it!
我无语。我从来没看过那样的东西!
也可以用于描述很强烈的感受:
I wish I could convey how much it means to me
having you all here,
but words fail me at the moment.
我真希望我能表达你们都在这儿对于我的重要意义,但此刻我无法用言语形容。
你有没有“words fail me”的时刻呢?下一次觉得无语的时候,记得用上这个表达。
