同意
最熟悉的单词:agree (动词)
I agree.
I agree with you.
Agree with someone
Agree with someone on/about something
Agreeable: 配合的,让人愉悦的
也可以用更生动的短语:Eye to eye
观点一致。注意,是单数的eye,不是eye。而且没有中文“看对眼”的意思。
可以这样用在句子里:
We see things eye to eye. 我们看事情的角度差不多、我们的想法一致。
We see most things eye to eye. 我们对大部分事情的看法一致。
On the same page
这个短语既可以是意见一致的意思,也可以是信息同步的意思。
We're totally on the same page. 我们观点完全一致。
We're pretty much on the same page (about something). 我们大致看法一致。
Let's try to get on the same page. 我们努力对齐看法吧。
We need to get everyone on the same page. 我们需要让大家对齐看法。
不同意
把 agree变成否定形式:
I don't agree.
I disagree.
Don't agree的语气比disagree重。
更多地道、而且经典的英语说法:
Agree to disagree: 尊重对方有不同的意见。
Let's agree to disagree. 我们保留各自意见,接受分歧的存在。
We can disagree without being disagreeable. 我们虽然意见不同,但不需要彼此敌对。
Disagreeable: 让人不愉快的、态度使人生厌的
另外,还能把刚才学的两个短语变成否定句:
Don't see things eye to eye.
We don't see this eye to eye.
I'm afraid that we don't see things eye to eye.
Not on the same page.
I'm afraid that we're not on the same page.
I'm afraid that we're not exactly on the same page.
