用英语学习英语口语:Customer guest的差异
考虑到一个人的词汇量,你可以用中文说customer是顾客,guest是顾客。
然而,英语学习要想有实质性突破和提高,中文不是你理解和表达英语的唯一语言。
另外一个理解和表达英语的语言是英语本身:见英语说中文是认字,见英语说英语才是语言能力。
我们现在用英语表达What is the difference between customer and guest:
UTalk 自己跟自己说英语,使用英语:
Well both customer and guest are buyers.A buyer is someone who buys goods and service(产品与服务)。这是用中文学buyer是无法学到和用到的非常有用的英语表达goods and service.
But when we pay and buy something(行话叫goods and service) at a store or a supermarket or a department store, we are called a customer,not a guest.
But when we pay and stay at a hotel, we will not be called a customer, we are called a guest.
That's the difference.
你为什么不用这些简单的英语去记customer and guest,而非得用中文“顾客”“客人”记customer and guest呢?
当你用英语记customer and guedt时,你就是在说英语,就是在用英语,就是在用英语积累英语。
时间久了,我们把它称为“英语语言能力”。
从商业角度讲,a guest不是指someone who visirs your home, or a visitor at your home.
不过,你能用英语去记guest的这层意思也是一种极大的进步。
