第一词：Skills

作“技能，水平”讲。以前一想到“水平”一词，就会想到level一词，但是老外可不是这么想的。skills一词更近。

1、怎样才能提高我们的英语水平？

Chinglish:How to improve our English level? （他们一般不这么说，但是应该可以看懂）

Revision:How to improve our English skills?

2、他写作，翻译水平很高。

Chinglish:His writing and translating level are very high.

Revision:He has very good writing and translation skills.

现在追求技术的时代，skills也走俏。什么English skills, communications skills, computer skills, study skills, survival skills, writing skills...都泛滥了，我们也“决口”一次如何？

第二词：Try

我们先看几个来自生活中的句子，都是常见句子（注：所谓 Chinglish即中国式英语，只是相对，并非绝对。而Revision即为修改后的标准说法。）

1、这蛋糕真好吃，你尝点。

Chinglish:This cake is so delicious, please eat a little.

Revision:The cake is so delicious. Please try some. (Oh! The cake is so yummy that I want them all.)

2、这样不行，你再看看。

Chinglish:It won't do. Please see it again.

Revision:It won't do. Please try again.

3、我做过一两次，都失败了。

Chinglish:I did one or two times, but I failed.

Revision:I tried a couple of times, but I failed.

4、请您放心，我一定有多少力，出多少力。

Chinglish:Please put down your heart. I'll give all my strength out.

Revision:Don't worry, I'll try my best.

5、这件裙子真漂亮，你穿上看看？

This skirt looks so beautiful. Would you please try it?

凡是带有“尝试”、做事没底但是还是做了等，可以选用try一词，简单又实用。当然，try还有审判的意思。

So, please try this word more often.

在google.com中对try的原形进行搜索，“约有158,000,000项符合try的查询结果”，也就是近1.6亿个结果。可见try是多么受欢迎。那么我们用过多少次？
