当想用英语表达“给你”的时候，相信很多同学会脱口而出“give you”，其实这是典型的中式英语。
英语中，give you后面一般都要加上一个具体的东西，一般是不会单独使用的。
比如：
I can give you some apples.
我可以给你一些苹果。
“给你”地道的说法其实我们小学都已经学过，应该是
“Here you are”或“Here you go”。
例如：
Can I eat now?
我现在能吃吗？
Here you are.
给你。
Here you go,ma'am. This is your boarding pass.
给您，太太。这是您的登机牌。
在跟老外交流的时候，我们讲的很多英语其实并不地道，在浙大当了5年英语外教的亚兰森（Chuck Allanson）曾经在网络上发表了一篇中式英语与正宗英语表达的博文，有很多值得我们参考的地方。
01你是做什么工作的呢？
Chinglish: What's your job?
English: Are you working at the moment?
What's your job这种说法会稍显生硬唐突。如果谈话对象刚刚失业，这样直接的问法会让对方有失面子，大家可以这样问：目前你是在上班吗，Are you working at the moment，接下来可以问：目前在哪儿工作呢，
Where are you working these days，或者从事哪个行业呢，What line of work are you in，顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书。
02我很喜欢它。
Chinglish: I very like it.
English: I like it very much.
这个很典型，就不多做解释了。
03价格挺合适／挺好的。
Chinglish: The price is very suitable.
English: The price is right/reasonable.
suitable（合适的、相配的）最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知中。
This movie is not suitable for children.
这部影片儿童不宜。
04用英语怎么说？
Chinglish: How to say in English?
English: How do you say this in English?
How to say 不是一个完整的句子，而是一个分句。
同类的句子还有：
How do you spell that please?
请问这个单词怎么拼？
How do you pronounce this word?
请问这个单词怎么读？
05明天我有事情要做。
Chinglish: I have something to do tomorrow.
English: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
用 I have something to do来表示自己脱不开身，这也是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。
大家要表示自己忙，脱不开身，可以这样说：I'm tied up.
或者：I'm afraid I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't,I have to stay at home.
06我的英语很糟糕。
Chinglish: My English is poor.
English: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor.
要说自己外语不好，外国人一般不用poor这么重的词，而是会说：
I am still having a few problems, but I am getting better.
简单的说法则有：
My English is not so good. 我的英文不太好。
My English is pretty limited. 我的英文水平非常有限。
07我没有经验。
Chinglish:I have no experience.
English:I am afraid I don't know much about that.
I have no experience这句话听起来也会怪怪的，大家只需要说：那方面我懂得不多。
或者：
I am not really an expert in this area.
这方面我不在行。
08他的身体很健康。
Chinglish: His body is healthy.
English:He is in good health.
English: He's healthy.
09价钱很昂贵/便宜。
Chinglish: The price is too expensive/cheap.
English: The price is too high/ rather low.
10祝你有美好的一天！
Chinglish: I wish you have a nice/good day.
English: Enjoy your day! / Have a wonderful day! / Have a good one! /Have a nice/good day!
I wish you have a nice/good day. 是纯粹的中式英语。在英语里，wish 后面只需加名词，即：I wish you a nice/good day.
不过，这个句式很古板，一般用于圣诞贺卡或节日歌词，
如：I wish you a Merry Christmas.
日常只说：Enjoy your day! Have a wonderful day!
而Have a nice/good day! 是美国店员向顾客标准的道别语。
流行的美式道别语（也用作回应）则是：Have a good one!
11 你觉得这个计划如何？
Chinglish: How do you feel about the plan?
English: How do you like the plan?
一般要问别人对某人或某事物的看法或意见时应该用 How do you like …? 或 What do you think of / about …? 这两个句式才对。当使用 think (of / about…) 这个动词时，疑问词要用 what 而不能用 how。例如：What do you think about the plan?
12 我把午餐忘在家里了。
Chinglish: I've forgotten my lunch at home.
English: I've left my lunch at home.
forgotten中文是遗忘，但把东西落在某处，应该用 leave。
或者只说：
I forgot to bring my lunch.
我忘带午餐了。
就可以啦！
