由于中美文化和地区的差异，有时候我们在用英语和别人交流时，用词不对或者说法不地道，会造成误解，让别人不了解你先表达的意思。那么遇到这种情况该如何化解呢？首先，不要害怕重复你的话，每次稍微有的差别的解释，都可以让人猜测到你要说什么。下面中加枫华国际学校小编就为大家整理了英语表达卡壳时可以使用的方法，可供大家参考：

1、Learn more words associations 多进行单词联想

Here are some tips to help bolster word memorization: Learn new words and their synonyms. Learn how to describe new words in your learning language. Instead of simply translating a word from your native language into your learning language, these techniques help you associate a new word with other words in the same language.

这有一些提示来帮助巩固词汇的记忆：学新单词和它们的同义词。试着用你学习的语言来描述新单词。这些技能帮助你用外语把新单词和其他单词起来，而不是简单地用你的母语翻译成你学习的语言。

Put these word connections into practice with a little improve training. You and your friends can play games like “who can describe a concept with the fewest words”, or, when you’re by yourself, you can write down as many word associations as possible. This way, when you forget a word in a real conversation, you’ll have plenty of other associations to fall back on. You’re likely to remember one of the synonyms or at least be able to describe what you mean in different words — without having to access your native language for help.

通过一些提高性训练，把单词方法付诸实践。你和同伴们可以玩“谁能用最少的文字描述一个概念”这个游戏，或者，当一个人的时候，你可以尽可能多地写下单词联想。当你在现实对话中忘记一个单词的时候，你就会有很多其他联想到(的单词)来帮忙。你可能会想起一个同义词或至少能用其他单词来描述你的意思，而不必求助于你的母语。

2、Just guess 猜一猜

Over 30% of English vocabulary was adopted from French, so if you’re speaking French to someone and you suddenly draw a blank, take a chance and “Frenchify” an English word. There’s a good chance that what you say will at least be a close approximation of a real French word. This trick also works for the other Romance languages — like Spanish, Portuguese and Italian — since these languages use words with the same Latin roots as French words. Because most of English vocabulary derives from middle German, this trick can work when speaking German and Dutch as well.

超过30%的英语词汇来源于法语，所以如果你用法语和人交谈，突然想不起来(怎么说)，抓住机会“法语化”一个英语单词。很有可能你所说的和一个真正的法语单词非常接近。这个技巧同样适用于其他罗曼语族，像西班牙语、葡萄牙语和意大利语，因为这些语言和法语一样都用同一个拉丁语单词。大部分英语单词来源于中德，所以这个技巧对德语和荷兰语也适用。

3、Make up words 造词

This is especially easy to do with languages like German where many nouns are compounds of two or three smaller words. If you want to say glove, but don’t have an idea, just take two probable words (hand + shoe) and stick them together. So, Handschuh is in fact the German word for glove!

对于像德语这样的语言，这个方法非常简单，因为很多名词是2个或3个小单词的复合词。如果你想说手套，但不知道怎么说，那就把两个可能的单词(手+鞋)组合在一起。看，“handschuh”就是手套的德语单词。

Even if your clever made-up word is totally not a real word, your conversation partner will find it much easier to guess what you mean. For example, a cell phone is not a Taschentelefon (pocket-telephone), but the invented word still communicates the concept accurately enough (the Germans actually call them Handys by the way).

即使你机智创造的单词不是一个真的词，你的对话伙伴也能更容易的猜到你的意思。比如，“cell phone”(手机)不是德语"Taschentelefon"的单词，但创造出来的单词仍然可以准确地到这个概念(德国人实际上管手机叫做“Handys”)

You can also achieve a similar effect with the equivalents of vague words like “something,” “thing” which allow context to fill in the blanks.

你也可以用类似“某物”“东西等模糊的词语连接上下文，这样也能达到类似的效果。

4、Use your body 运用你的肢体

Seriously, don’t underestimate the power of body language. After all, charades might be a French word, but it’s played all over the world. So do pantomime, make sound effects, gesticulate wildly, make shadow puppets if you need to, try anything!

说真的，不要忽视肢体语言的作用。毕竟，猜词游戏是一个法语单词，但全世界都在玩。所以，做手势、发出声音、夸大手势，做皮影反正随你需要，尝试任何方法!

5、Say it in your mother tongue (speaking of moms) 说你的母语

Saying the word in your own language is not ideal, but it’s still better than saying nothing. You can even turn it into a learning opportunity by asking — in the target language, of course — “How do you say ____ in your language?” They might not know, but it also might be the final clue they needed in order to understand you.

用母语说是最不理想的一种方法，但这也比什么都不说好。你甚至可以把它变成一个学习机会，询问(用你正在学习的语言)“ ____用你的语言怎么说?”他们可能不了解，但这也可能成为让他们明白你(的意思)的最终线索。
