内容简介

在口语交流中，我们经常会用 “me too（我也是）” 来表达我们的想法或经历和他人的一样。不过，当回应他人的问候或者节日祝福时，虽然我们想表达的意思是 “我也想对你这么说”，但却要用 “you too（你也是）” 来回应对方。这是为什么呢？听节目，跟主持人步理和 Becca 学习这两个表达的用法。

大家好，欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的 “你问我答” 节目。We are here to answer your questions about English language, culture and life. I'm Buli, and in this episode I have Becca here to help me answer a question. Morning, Becca. 

Becca
Hi, Buli. Isn't it a gorgeous day? I love it when the Sun's shining.

Buli
Me too. It makes me feel so much happier than the rain! Right, let's hear the question.

Question
I often confuse "You too" with "Me too". For instance, if someone says "Nice to meet you," I want to express "I'm happy to meet you as well," but the correct response is "You too." Can you explain when to use each of these phrases?

Becca
I think this is such a good question.

Buli
Me too. Or should I say 'you too'? Em… 这位观众提出了一个有意思的问题。在英语中，人们经常会用 “me too” 来表示 “我也是，我跟你一样”。不过在和他人打招呼时，却经常会用 “you too” 来回答 “Nice to meet you” 等问候语。这是为什么呢？

Becca
Let's get started and we'll find out.

Buli
I think I'm going to eat out for lunch today. It's so sunny!

Becca
Me too. Maybe we could go for a wander together? There's a new falafel place around the corner, and I love falafel.

Buli
Me too. I like a falafel wrap. Oh, you'll have to go without me. I've just remembered I said I'd meet a friend for lunch, and I haven't seen him in ages. I can't miss this.

Becca
Ah, no problem. Well, have fun and enjoy the sunshine.

Buli
You too!

你正在收听的是 BBC 英语教学制作的 “你问我答” 节目。在本期节目中，我们正在学习如何在口语对话里使用 “me too” 和 “you too” 这两个表达。在刚才的对话中，我和 Becca 就多次使用了这两个表达。

首先，“me too” 的含义就是 “我也是”。我们在对他人说 “me too” 的时候，意思就是 “我跟你的想法、做法或经历完全一样”。

Becca
Yes. Like when you said you'd go out for lunch, I said 'me too' because we both had the same idea of going out in the Sun.

Buli
And when you said you like falafel, I said 'me too' because I agree. We share the same idea about falafel – it's delicious!

Becca
If we agree on something in a negative way, we say 'me neither'. For example, I've never been to Japan.

Buli
Me neither. 需要注意的是，如果对方在表达自己的想法或经历时使用的是否定式，比如 “I haven't been there（我没去过那里）”，那我们就通常也需要用否定式 “me neither（我也不，我也没有）”。But Becca, what about 'you too'? When do we say that?

Becca
We say 'you too' when we want to return the same message to someone. So, if I say 'have a good day', you could reply with 'you too' meaning you want me to have a good day as well.

Buli
Ah I see, so it means 'I want to say the same thing to you too.' 也就是说，和 “me too” 不同，“you too” 这个表达的意思并不是 “你和我一样”，而是指 “我希望你也和你对我所说的一样”，或者 “我也想对你这么说”，相当于中文里当别人对我们说 “早上好” 时，我们说一句 “你也是，早上好”。

This is common with phrases like 'nice to meet you', 'good luck' or 'take care'. If it's relevant, you can say it to return the same feeling back to the other person.

Becca
And it's polite to say this. You're returning the politeness to them.

Buli
That's right. 那么，Becca，最后我还想问你一个问题。在节目开始的时候你说 “I think this is such a good question” 的时候我应该用 “me too” 还是 “you too” 呢？

Becca
It's 'me too'. We think the same thing – we share the same opinion.

Buli
Well, I think that's answered the question.

Becca
Me too! Remember, if you have a question that you'd like us to answer, you can email us too at: questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk
