Yep 是 yes 的随意说法,接近日常说话时的发音。另一种写法 yup 意思相同。它是简短、友好的回答,适合与朋友、家人或关系随意的同事聊天。

修改原因
修改前Dear Mr Evans, yep, I can come to the interview on Tuesday at 10 am.
修改后Dear Mr Evans, yes, I can come to the interview on Tuesday at 10 am.
Yep 非常随意。给只通过邮件联系过的招聘人员回复时,它显得不够郑重。把 yep 换成 yes 即可,句子其余部分已经很礼貌。
服务员或主人向你提供东西时,只说 yep 可能显得不够周到。礼貌的接受方式是 yes, please:Would you like some more tea? — Yes, please。IELTS Speaking 中也不宜只回答一个 yep,应说 yes 并继续展开,例如 Yes, I do, mostly at weekends。
动手练习
Can I borrow your charger for a minute? — ___, it's in the front pocket of my bag.
查看答案
Yep — 朋友想借充电器,你答应并告诉对方它在哪里。这是普通的同意,所以 yep 合适。Yes, please 用于接受别人提供的东西:Want a coffee? — Yes, please。这里没有人给你提供东西,而是你允许对方借用,因此不需要 please。
朋友在聊天中问你是否准备好了明天的旅行。用 yep 回答,并说明已经做了什么,例如收拾行李或买好车票。
Yep, I've packed my bag and printed the train tickets.
