不論是在課堂上、職場上，甚至檢定考試時，我們都會被要求要「表達意見」，到底有哪些可以用來表示意見的好用句型呢？
表示同意
在英文中，表示同意的方式有很多，基本上分成 4 種表達的邏輯：
一、用正向的態度附和
- Yeah, that's just it.
- Fair enough.
- Yes, of course.
- No doubt about it.
- That's (so／completely／absolutely／undeniably) true.
- You're (completely／totally／absolutely) right.
二、稱讚對方論點
- You have a point there.
- You've made a good point.
- That's a really good point.
三、直接表示「認同」
- I （completely／really／totally／absolutely／honestly／truly） agree with you (on that).
- I couldn't agree more.
- I see what you mean and I (must) agree with you.
- I really think／believe so, too.
- I have no objection whatsoever.
四、表示擁有同樣論點
- I have come to the same conclusion.
- I hold the same opinion.
- I see it that way, too.
- I share your opinion／view.
- We are of one mind (on…)
- We are of the same mind (on…)
- I was just going to say that.
表示部分同意
如果希望以不傷和氣，又讓人舒服的方式，表示並不是完全認同對方的想法時，我們通常會「先認同，再説『但是』」。
- I agree with you up to a point, but…
- I see what you mean, but…
- That idea is OK, but…
- I understand that, but…
表示不同意
在表示否定意見時，我們都最害怕讓場面尷尬，或傷到對方。因此，在表示否定的句型中，我們經常會分成兩個部分：友善示好＋表示否定。

二、友善示好：表示自己也不一定是對的
- You may be right, but…
- That might be true, but…
三、表示否定：表示有不一樣的看法
- I think otherwise.
- I take a different view.
四、表示否定：直接了當表示不同意
- I beg to differ／disagree.
- I don't agree with you on that／what you say.
- I don't think you're right.
- I don't share your view.
- I believe your argument doesn't hold water（站不住腳）.
- I'm not sure I agree with you.
- That doesn't make much sense to me.
- That's not always the case.
- That's not always／necessarily true.
表達意見
當別人說完想法，你也簡單地表示同意或否定之後，就是你的主場秀了。在英文中，同樣也有非常多種開頭，來宣示你接下來的個人意見，可以挑幾的背下來，豐富你在言談單字使用的多樣性！
一、我覺得…：I／It + 動詞
- I think／consider／find／feel／believe／suppose／presume／assume that…
- I guess that…
- I bet that…
- I gather that
- I would say that…
- I have the feeling that…
- I have no doubt that…
- I am of the opinion that…
- I hold the opinion／view that…
- I take the view that…
- I am under the impression…
- I am sure／certain that…
- It goes without saying that…
- It seems to me that…
- It is my impression that…
二、從我的角度而言：In／From／To my…
- In my opinion,…
- In my view,…
- In my eyes,…
- From my point of view,…
- From my viewpoint,…
- To my mind,…
- To be honest,…
- My opinion／view／belief／impression is that…
- My own feeling on the subject is that…
- My personal view is that…
三、其他
- As far as I'm concerned,…
- As for me／As to me…
- As I see it…
- The way I see it…
- Personally speaking,…
大家發現了嗎？在表示意見時，會有一些特別常用的單字，例如：view、point、impression 等字眼反覆出現，熟悉這些單字，再將他以自己喜歡的方式排列組合，就可以有屬於你自己說話風格的說法囉！
