每次一说到「我不知道」
就只会想到“I don't know”
实在是太！无！趣！啦！
其实英语里还有很多有趣的表达
有时候换一种表达，也许就会让
听到这句话的人有不一样的感觉
即使是简单的「我不知道」
1. Dunno
This word is used informally and in spoken language, especially by teenagers who don’t want to answer their parents!
这个词为非正式用语，一般在口语中使用，孩子们不想回答父母的问题时会经常用到这个词。
e.g.‘When do you have to submit this essay?’ ‘Dunno. I can’t remember.'
例句：“你什么时候要交论文？”“不知道，不记得了。”
2. I have no idea / I haven’t a clue / I haven’t the faintest idea
These expressions are used when you have no information and you cannot guess the answer to a question.
这些表达通常用在你没有任何关于这个问题的信息，无法猜到答案的时候。
e.g.‘Could somebody please explain how this happened?’ ‘I haven’t the faintest idea.’
例句：“有没有人能解释一下这是怎么回事？” “我也不知道。”
3. How should I know? / Don’t ask me / Search me
These expressions are used when you do not know something and you feel annoyed that someone is asking you about it.
当你不知道问题的答案，又很反感别人问你时，可以这么说。
e.g. ‘Who left this mess on the table?’ ‘How should I know? I’ve only just come home.’
例句：“谁把桌子弄得一团乱？” “我怎么知道，我才刚到家。”
4. Who knows? / It’s anyone’s guess
These are used for saying that you don’t know somethingbecause it is impossible for anyone to know it.
当你不知道问题的答案，而且其他人也不可能知道的时候，就可以用这两句。
e.g.‘How the situation will develop from here is anyone’s guess.’
例句：“谁都不知道事态会如何发展。”
5. Your guess is as good as mine
This is used for saying that you know as little about something as the person who asked you about it.
如果你和提问题的人一样不知道问题的答案，你就可以这样说。
e.g.‘Do you think we will be able to book the restaurant for Friday?’ ‘Your guess is as good as mine.’
例句：“你觉得我们能在周五预定到这家餐厅吗？”“我和你一样不知道。”
