Pengertian Expressing agreement and disagreement
Seperti telah disampaikan sebelumnya, expressing agreement and disagreement adalah cara kita meminta persetujuan dan pertidaksetujuan atau lebih tepatnya cara mengekspresikannya dalam bahasa inggris. Lebih jelasnya silahkan lihat kutipan berikut.
The way people agree or disagree in an argument or discussion varies in different languages. A lot here depends on the national cultural and traditional background of the speaker. The English are not as straightforward in expressing their opinion as Russians are, for example. The word which describes the English way of speaking and behaving in the best way is probably the word “reserved”. If you look it up in the dictionary, you’ll find a sentence that says it all: “An Englishman is very reserved, quiet, always discreet” (COLLINS COBUILD ENGLISH LANGUAGE DICTIONARY).
George Mikes in “How to be an Alien” wrote in a humorous way about these typical features of the English, which are reflected in the use of the language: “The English have no soul, they have understatement instead”. Understatement in proposing, according to George Mikes, “takes the form of “I say… would you". If it is an indecent proposal it is "I say… what about…".In agreement and disagreement one should remember about understatement as an important underlying principle of wording what you think.Agreement and disagreement are types of affirmation and denial in which the expression of JUDGEMENT or OPINION rather than the assertion of FACT is involved. It is all the more necessary not to offend standards of politeness when the other person’s judgement is in question. baca kutipan selengkapnya.
