选择正确的译文

吉姆汉语能讲得很好。

   Jim can say Chinese very well.
2. B.
   Jim can tell Chinese very well.
3. C.
   Jim can talk Chinese very well.
4. D.
   Jim can speak Chinese very well.

Answer 1

D
say，speak和talk都可译为“说”，但是用法不同。say是及物动词，后需跟宾语，强调说的内容；speak常作不及物动词，作及物动词时，宾语只能是语言；talk是不及物动词，侧重于“相互交谈”，常译为“谈话、说话”，talk to/with sb．意思是“和某人谈话”；tell则译为“告诉，讲述”。
