Tell me about it. 還用說?

 

http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/siu82english/article?mid=18733

澳門網友電郵問:

有次跟講英文的同事說了些甚麼,他回應:「Tell me about it」。那是甚麼意思?

「Tell me about it.」並不是「請告訴我」,而是「我也這樣覺得」的意思,也可譯作「還用說?」。粵語則可譯為「仲使講?」或「我都覺」。

聽到一些非常明顯,又令你身同感受的說話,我們可用「Tell me about it」回應。例如今天熱得像焗爐,朋友對你說:It's baking hot today. 你可回答:

Tell me about it!

剛步出試場,老友就發牢騷:It was so damn hard.(這份卷真難!)你身同感受,也可回應:

Tell me about it!I don't think I'll pass.

留意發音。整句只有 tell 字重音,不必每個字都鏗鏘有勁地讀,一聽就會明白:
