不論是在課堂上、職場上，甚至檢定考試時，我們都會被要求要「表達意見」，到底有哪些可以用來表示意見的好用句型呢？

表示同意

在英文中，表示同意的方式有很多，基本上分成 4 種表達的邏輯：

一、用正向的態度附和

• Yeah, that's just it.
• Fair enough.
• Yes, of course.
• No doubt about it.
• That's (so／completely／absolutely／undeniably) true.
• You're (completely／totally／absolutely) right.

二、稱讚對方論點

• You have a point there.
• You've made a good point.
• That's a really good point.

三、直接表示「認同」

• I （completely／really／totally／absolutely／honestly／truly） agree with you (on that).
• I couldn't agree more.
• I see what you mean and I (must) agree with you.
• I really think／believe so, too.
• I have no objection whatsoever.

四、表示擁有同樣論點

• I have come to the same conclusion.
• I hold the same opinion.
• I see it that way, too.
• I share your opinion／view.
• We are of one mind (on…)
• We are of the same mind (on…)
• I was just going to say that.

表示部分同意

如果希望以不傷和氣，又讓人舒服的方式，表示並不是完全認同對方的想法時，我們通常會「先認同，再説『但是』」。

• I agree with you up to a point, but…
• I see what you mean, but…
• That idea is OK, but…
• I understand that, but…

表示不同意

在表示否定意見時，我們都最害怕讓場面尷尬，或傷到對方。因此，在表示否定的句型中，我們經常會分成兩個部分：友善示好＋表示否定。

一、友善示好：先為接下來要說的話感到抱歉

• I'm afraid…
• I'm sorry but…

二、友善示好：表示自己也不一定是對的

• You may be right, but…
• That might be true, but…

三、表示否定：表示有不一樣的看法

• I think otherwise.
• I take a different view.

四、表示否定：直接了當表示不同意

• I beg to differ／disagree.
• I don't agree with you on that／what you say.
• I don't think you're right.
• I don't share your view.
• I believe your argument doesn't hold water（站不住腳）.
• I'm not sure I agree with you.
• That doesn't make much sense to me.
• That's not always the case.
• That's not always／necessarily true.

表達意見

當別人說完想法，你也簡單地表示同意或否定之後，就是你的主場秀了。在英文中，同樣也有非常多種開頭，來宣示你接下來的個人意見，可以挑幾的背下來，豐富你在言談單字使用的多樣性！

一、我覺得…：I／It + 動詞

• I think／consider／find／feel／believe／suppose／presume／assume that…
• I guess that…
• I bet that…
• I gather that
• I would say that…
• I have the feeling that…
• I have no doubt that…
• I am of the opinion that…
• I hold the opinion／view that…
• I take the view that…
• I am under the impression…
• I am sure／certain that…
• It goes without saying that…
• It seems to me that…
• It is my impression that…

二、從我的角度而言：In／From／To my…

• In my opinion,…
• In my view,…
• In my eyes,…
• From my point of view,…
• From my viewpoint,…
• To my mind,…
• To be honest,…
• My opinion／view／belief／impression is that…
• My own feeling on the subject is that…
• My personal view is that…

三、其他

• As far as I'm concerned,…
• As for me／As to me…
• As I see it…
• The way I see it…
• Personally speaking,…

大家發現了嗎？在表示意見時，會有一些特別常用的單字，例如：view、point、impression 等字眼反覆出現，熟悉這些單字，再將他以自己喜歡的方式排列組合，就可以有屬於你自己說話風格的說法囉！
