   “Do you know where the police office is?”


  “I don’t know.”
  “Do you know how I can contact a policeman?”
  “I don’t know.”
  “Do you know other ways to say ‘I don’t know’?”
  “I don’t know.”
  有时候我们总会感叹,这个世界带给我们的问题太多,知道的东西总比不知道的少。或许I don’t know已经成了你日常用语频率最高的话之一,但是你甘愿一直这样I don’t know下去吗?
  等等,别以为华生会把你变成全知的神。不过,我的确有一个办法让你不再一直说“I don’t know”,那就是教你如何变着法子说I don’t know。
  在非正式场合的口语中,特别是年轻人喜欢用这些话来搪塞他们的家长:
  1.Dunno
  (“布吉岛”,不知道)
  例:“When do you have to submit 1 this essay?” “Dunno. I can’t remember.”
  如果你手头没有任何信息或者你猜不透问题的答案,就这么说:
  2. I have no idea
  (我没头绪,我不清楚)
  例:“What time does the film start?” “I have no idea. Why don’t you call the cinema?”
  有时候,我们难免遇到一些很烦人的问题或提问者,如果你对这些感到厌烦,就可以这样说话,显示你已经没耐心了:
  3. How should I know?
  (我怎么可能知道?搞得好像我就应该知道一样。)
  例:You ask me where your pen is, how should I know?
  4. Don’t ask me
  (别再问我了,我根本不知道)
  例:“What time did she say she was catching 2 her train?” “Don’t ask me. I’m always the last to know.”
  5. Search me
  (你怎么样都不可能在我身上找到答案,尽管问吧,我不知道)
  例:“Why didn’t he ask you for the keys?” “Search me. I’m not a mind reader”
  如果别人问你的问题太难了,你觉得根本就不可能会有人知道,就可以用这2种说法:
  6. Who knows?
  (谁知道,天知道)
  例:“Will they ever find the missing 3 aircraft 4?” “Who knows? The search been going on for such a long time now.”
  7. It’s anyone’s guess
  (大家都在猜,所以没人知道)
  例:How will the situation develop from here? It's anyone’s guess.
  如果别人问你某件事,而你也恰好对这件事知之甚少,或许抱有同样的疑问,就可以说:
  8. Your guess is as good as mine
  (我和你一样不知道,简单说就是我也不知道)
  例:“Do you think we will be able to book the restaurant for Friday?” “Your guess is as good as mine.”
  有时,问题的答案或许是所想的那样,但是你又没有足够的依据和信息来判断是否如此,就可以说:
  9. Not as far as I know
  (这超出我的了解范围了,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.”
  在非正式的场合,如果你想回答一个问题却回答不了,可以用这种常见的说法回答别人:
  10. It beats me
  (这真是难倒我了,我答不上来)
  例:“Why did he do such a stupid thing?” “It beats me”
