What do you make of…? 你觉得……怎么样?
“What do you make of…”是询问他人对某事物之看法时比较口语化的用语。有类似意思但比较正式的用法有:“What's your opinion on…?”、“What are your thoughts on…?”等。
模拟对话
了解不多
Jane: What do yror make of Jerry?
珍:你觉得杰瑞这个人怎么样?
Bcn: Jerry?He seems to be a nice guy.but I don't know too much about him. Why?
班:杰瑞?看起来他似乎是个好人,不过我对他了解不多。为什么这样问?
Jane: He asked me out for dinner.I'm not sure if I should say yes since I don't know him too well. either.
珍:他约我出去吃晚饭。我不确定是否要答应,因为我也不太了解他。
在这段对话当中,Jane由于收到Jerry的晚餐邀约,但是在跟对方不安熟悉的情况下不确定是否应该答应,因此稍微询问一下Ben对Jerry的看法。“What do you makeof Jerry?”用在闲聊中比其他正式问法翻恰当许多。如果我们问"What's your opinion on Jerry?"很可能是在一种必须评判Jerry的为人,个人特质以决定他是否能胜任某工作的场合等等。
