這個(gè)例子生動(dòng)地展示了英式英語(yǔ)中喜歡使用“輕描淡寫(xiě)”的表達(dá)方式。老師寫(xiě)的“Notbad”其實(shí)是表示“相當(dāng)滿意”的正面評(píng)價(jià)，但字面意思容易讓非母語(yǔ)者覺(jué)得只是“不壞”，即“勉強(qiáng)及格”，從而產(chǎn)生誤解。4A.TodiscussmethodstolearnEnglish.B.TostresstheimportanceoftheEnglishoutsidetheworld.C.TointroducethefunnyorstrangestoriesaboutusingEnglish.D.ToencouragethestudentstouseEnglishasmuchaspossible.
