由于中美文化和地區的差異，有時候我們在用英語和別人交流時，用詞不對或者說法不地道，會造成誤解，讓別人不了解你先表達的意思。那么遇到這種情況該如何化解呢？首先，不要害怕重復你的話，每次稍微有的差別的解釋，都可以讓人猜測到你要說什么。下面中加楓華國際學校小編就為大家整理了英語表達卡殼時可以使用的方法，可供大家參考：

1、Learn more words associations 多進行單詞聯想

Here are some tips to help bolster word memorization: Learn new words and their synonyms. Learn how to describe new words in your learning language. Instead of simply translating a word from your native language into your learning language, these techniques help you associate a new word with other words in the same language.

這有一些提示來幫助鞏固詞匯的記憶：學新單詞和它們的同義詞。試著用你學習的語言來描述新單詞。這些技能幫助你用外語把新單詞和其他單詞起來，而不是簡單地用你的母語翻譯成你學習的語言。

Put these word connections into practice with a little improve training. You and your friends can play games like “who can describe a concept with the fewest words”, or, when you’re by yourself, you can write down as many word associations as possible. This way, when you forget a word in a real conversation, you’ll have plenty of other associations to fall back on. You’re likely to remember one of the synonyms or at least be able to describe what you mean in different words — without having to access your native language for help.

通過一些提高性訓練，把單詞方法付諸實踐。你和同伴們可以玩“誰能用最少的文字描述一個概念”這個游戲，或者，當一個人的時候，你可以盡可能多地寫下單詞聯想。當你在現實對話中忘記一個單詞的時候，你就會有很多其他聯想到(的單詞)來幫忙。你可能會想起一個同義詞或至少能用其他單詞來描述你的意思，而不必求助于你的母語。

2、Just guess 猜一猜

Over 30% of English vocabulary was adopted from French, so if you’re speaking French to someone and you suddenly draw a blank, take a chance and “Frenchify” an English word. There’s a good chance that what you say will at least be a close approximation of a real French word. This trick also works for the other Romance languages — like Spanish, Portuguese and Italian — since these languages use words with the same Latin roots as French words. Because most of English vocabulary derives from middle German, this trick can work when speaking German and Dutch as well.

超過30%的英語詞匯來源于法語，所以如果你用法語和人交談，突然想不起來(怎么說)，抓住機會“法語化”一個英語單詞。很有可能你所說的和一個真正的法語單詞非常接近。這個技巧同樣適用于其他羅曼語族，像西班牙語、葡萄牙語和意大利語，因為這些語言和法語一樣都用同一個拉丁語單詞。大部分英語單詞來源于中德，所以這個技巧對德語和荷蘭語也適用。

3、Make up words 造詞

This is especially easy to do with languages like German where many nouns are compounds of two or three smaller words. If you want to say glove, but don’t have an idea, just take two probable words (hand + shoe) and stick them together. So, Handschuh is in fact the German word for glove!

對于像德語這樣的語言，這個方法非常簡單，因為很多名詞是2個或3個小單詞的復合詞。如果你想說手套，但不知道怎么說，那就把兩個可能的單詞(手+鞋)組合在一起。看，“handschuh”就是手套的德語單詞。

Even if your clever made-up word is totally not a real word, your conversation partner will find it much easier to guess what you mean. For example, a cell phone is not a Taschentelefon (pocket-telephone), but the invented word still communicates the concept accurately enough (the Germans actually call them Handys by the way).

即使你機智創造的單詞不是一個真的詞，你的對話伙伴也能更容易的猜到你的意思。比如，“cell phone”(手機)不是德語"Taschentelefon"的單詞，但創造出來的單詞仍然可以準確地到這個概念(德國人實際上管手機叫做“Handys”)

You can also achieve a similar effect with the equivalents of vague words like “something,” “thing” which allow context to fill in the blanks.

你也可以用類似“某物”“東西等模糊的詞語連接上下文，這樣也能達到類似的效果。

4、Use your body 運用你的肢體

Seriously, don’t underestimate the power of body language. After all, charades might be a French word, but it’s played all over the world. So do pantomime, make sound effects, gesticulate wildly, make shadow puppets if you need to, try anything!

說真的，不要忽視肢體語言的作用。畢竟，猜詞游戲是一個法語單詞，但全世界都在玩。所以，做手勢、發出聲音、夸大手勢，做皮影反正隨你需要，嘗試任何方法!

5、Say it in your mother tongue (speaking of moms) 說你的母語

Saying the word in your own language is not ideal, but it’s still better than saying nothing. You can even turn it into a learning opportunity by asking — in the target language, of course — “How do you say ____ in your language?” They might not know, but it also might be the final clue they needed in order to understand you.

用母語說是最不理想的一種方法，但這也比什么都不說好。你甚至可以把它變成一個學習機會，詢問(用你正在學習的語言)“ ____用你的語言怎么說?”他們可能不了解，但這也可能成為讓他們明白你(的意思)的最終線索。
