請告訴我 「第一次聽說那個」 的英語!
聽到還沒被告知的事情、不知道的事情時使用「第一次聽說那個」,用英語怎麼說?
回答
・I have never heard that
・I didn't know that
I have never heard that
可以用「I have never heard that(没聽說過=第一次聽說)」來表達。「that」的後面也可以加上「before(在之前)」。
要表達出「這是我第一次聽說那件事」的感覺,雖然也可以說「It's the first time I heard that. (第一次聽說)」但是筆者住在英國,印象中比較常聽到周圍的人的說「I have never heard that」。
例句
Thank you for telling me. I have never heard that.
(謝謝你告訴我。這是我第一次聽說那件事。)
I didn't know that
即使說「I didn't know that(我不知道)」也可以傳達出「至今為止還不知道(=第一次知道、聽到)」的感覺。
例句
Is that true? I didn't know that.
(那是真的嗎?我不知道啊。)
