英語口語中，確認（Asking for Clarification）是一項常用的口語技巧。通過確認，可以正確了解對方的意思，從而避免意義混淆以及誤解；尤其在談話中遇到比較難，復雜以及敏感的情景。

確認的基本方法就是通過用不同的語言復述對方的觀點，然后看對方的反應。

常用的基本句型如下：

I gather your point is...

So what you are saying is ...

In other words...

What you're getting at ...

From what you're saying, I'm guessing...

You mean...

If I've got it right...

Do you mean that?

Does this mean that?

May I assume that?

Could you repeat that again, please?

Could you tell me what it means, please?

Could you say that again?

Would you mind repeating that?

I didn't follow that. could you clarify.. for me?

Example:

A: I am the father of an 18-year-old who is about to finish high school this summer. He told me last week he wanted to start his own business after graduation .

B: i am guessing you don't approve of his plan.

當你在實際運用的時候，就會發(fā)現，確認是一個高頻使用的口語技巧。

在上面表達方式中先挑出三句，脫口而出，然后用起來吧！
