說英語時要慎用“美國人最討厭的五個常用詞”

根據昨日調查結果，美國人最討厭的常用詞榜首為 “Whatever” 占47%;

其次是“You know.” 25%。

第三是：“It is what it is.” 11%

第四是： “Anyway.” 7%

最後是： “At the end of the day.” 2%

我們中國人最愛用 “whatever” 和 “you know”。 “Whatever”給人一種你不太在乎的感覺。 “You know” 常常讓人覺得你好像不能完整地表達你自己，並缺乏自信。卡蘿林娜。肯尼迪去年在競選紐約參議員時就因在電視采訪中不斷地，無意識地說，“You know, you know......”被人認為“缺乏經驗及自信”而失去了機會。
