Meaning

「If you ask me」是一個常用的英語表達方式,主要用來表達個人的意見或看法。當你使用這個短語時,通常是在分享你自己的觀點,並且通常在對方尚未詢問你的意見時也可以使用。這個短語常出現在非正式的對話中,特別是在討論某個話題或做出決定時。 例如,如果有人在討論一個即將上映的電影,你可以說:「If you ask me, the trailer looks really exciting.」這意味著你覺得這部電影的預告片看起來很有趣。 使用這個短語時,能夠讓對方知道這是你個人的看法,而不是一個普遍的事實或真理。這樣可以在對話中加入更多的個人色彩,也能促進雙方的交流和互動。
