常用表达

I see 是什么意思?听懂解释后的“原来如此”

对话中的 I see 常表示明白了,而不是用眼睛看见。刚知道办公室为什么冷,可以这样回应;I know 却是在说早就知道。

在这种对话中,I see 表示“我明白了、原来如此”,不是用眼睛看见某物。它表明你听到了对方的解释,并接受这个说明。某件事终于清楚时,常说 Oh, I see。它语气中性,朋友交流和工作中都能用。

想在对话中用 I see 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

I see.; Oh, I see + comment; I see what you mean; I see (that) + clause

  • The printer isn't broken, it's just out of paper. — Oh, I see. Thanks!
  • I see what you mean, but I still think the train is cheaper than flying.
  • I see you've already booked the hotel, so I'll look for flights.

修改原因

修改前The shop is closed today because it's a public holiday. — Clear, thanks.

修改后The shop is closed today because it's a public holiday. — I see, thanks.

只用一个 Clear 回应解释,英语里显得生硬、不自然。别人说明原因后,通常回答 I see 或 Oh, I see。如果对方在交代操作或任务,也可以说 Got it。

Cambridge Dictionary

I understand 更郑重,常用于确认理解了复杂问题或对方的感受:I understand how you feel。I see 则是对话中比较轻的回应。如果真在谈视力,通常用 can see:I can see the sea from my window。

动手练习

Why is the office so cold? — The heating broke down this morning. — Oh, ___. That explains it.

(I see / I know)

查看答案

I see — 说话者先问办公室为什么冷,刚刚才得知暖气坏了,所以 Oh, I see 表示现在明白原因。I know 则表示已经知道,不符合这里刚获知解释的过程。

写一段简短对话:同事解释会议为什么改期。你用 I see 回应,再追问一个问题。

We moved the meeting because the client's flight was delayed. — I see. Is it on Friday now?
