那了解了中西方思维和逻辑的不同之处后，怎样才能让自己的表达符合老外的思维呢？我们来一起看看！

我们以一个最基础的问法 Do you like A？为例，常用答题结构：
a. 喜欢/喜欢 + 喜欢/不喜欢的原因；
b. 喜欢/不喜欢 + 喜欢/不喜欢到什么程度；

Sure, in the TV show, you also can see some, many advertising in this TV show.
改写后的回答：
Yes, indeed. Advertisements are everywhere. Whenever we turn on the TV, look through a newspaper, open the mailbox, or surf the Internet, advertisements will immediately jump into our sight. It's no exaggeration to say that we live in the world of advertisements, and some of them are really lousy.
二、中英文表达差异
中式表达更注重宏观和抽象，而西式表达注重细节和形象。不过其实很多烤鸭大概知道自己要说什么，但是表达的过程中总是有种力不从心，词不达意的感觉。

Why do so many people want to have their own car?
考生的回答：
...the public transportation only boring them to some destinations that never change, and it's more flexible, which is especially important for those old people, because they have difficulty in walking or riding bicycles.
改写后的回答：
With their own car, people are able to take the fastest route to their destination. But if they use public transportation, like buses or the subway, they have to transfer a few lines, which can be quite troublesome, especially, for the elderly and the people who are carrying heavy stuff.
