歸納匯總：“不知道”的10種英文說(shuō)法

在非正式場(chǎng)合的口語(yǔ)中，特別是年輕人喜歡用這些話來(lái)搪塞他們的家長(zhǎng)：

1Dunno

(“布吉島”，不知道)

例：“When do you have to submit this essay?”

“Dunno. I can’t remember.”

如果你手頭沒(méi)有任何信息或者你猜不透問(wèn)題的答案，就這么說(shuō)：

2 I have no idea.

(我沒(méi)頭緒，我不清楚)

例：“What time does the film start?”

“I have no idea. Why don’t you call the cinema?”

有時(shí)候，我們難免遇到一些很煩人的問(wèn)題或提問(wèn)者，如果你對(duì)這些感到厭煩，就可以這樣說(shuō)話，顯示你已經(jīng)沒(méi)耐心了：

3How should I know?

(我怎么可能知道?搞得好像我就應(yīng)該知道一樣。)

例：You ask me where your pen is, how should I know?

4Don’t ask me.

(別再問(wèn)我了，我根本不知道)

例：“What time did she say she was catching her train?”

“Don’t ask me. I’m always the last to know.”

5Search me

(你怎么樣都不可能在我身上找到答案，盡管問(wèn)吧，我不知道)

例：“Why didn’t he ask you for the keys?” “Search me. I’m not a mind reader”

如果別人問(wèn)你的問(wèn)題太難了，你覺(jué)得根本就不可能會(huì)有人知道，就可以用這2種說(shuō)法：

6Who knows?

(誰(shuí)知道，天知道)

例：“Will they ever find the missing aircraft?” “Who knows? The search been going on for such a long time now.”

7 It’s anyone’s guess

(大家都在猜，所以沒(méi)人知道)

例：How will the situation develop from here? It's anyone’s guess.

如果別人問(wèn)你某件事，而你也恰好對(duì)這件事知之甚少，或許抱有同樣的疑問(wèn)，就可以說(shuō)：

8Your guess is as good as mine.

(我和你一樣不知道，簡(jiǎn)單說(shuō)就是我也不知道)

例：“Do you think we will be able to book the restaurant for Friday?”

“Your guess is as good as mine.”

有時(shí)，問(wèn)題的答案或許是所想的那樣，但是你又沒(méi)有足夠的依據(jù)和信息來(lái)判斷是否如此，就可以說(shuō)：

9 Not as far as I know.

(這超出我的了解范圍了，我不太清楚)

例：“Has Clive left the company? I haven’t seen him for ages.”

“Not as far as I know, but I haven’t seen him recently either.”

在非正式的場(chǎng)合，如果你想回答一個(gè)問(wèn)題卻回答不了，可以用這種常見(jiàn)的說(shuō)法回答別人：

10It beats me.

(這真是難倒我了，我答不上來(lái))

例：“Why did he do such a stupid thing?”

“It beats me”
