(2) [如果对方问话采用否定方式, yes 仍表示肯定答复, 但汉译承上启下, 因而相反]不:

I tell you, I can read anybody's face.

[词性变化]

n.

(1) “行”, “是”

vt., vi.

(1) (yessed; yessing)同意, 赞成, (对...)说“是”

My assistant was better at yes sing than at developing original ideas.

我的助手善于唯唯诺诺地随声附和, 而不善于发挥独特见解。

All she had to do was yes him when he wes talking.

她只要在他说话时回答“是”就行了。

(2) 【说明】yes, no都是副词, 它们可形容一个句子 “Do you really want to buy those new shoes?”“yes.”“你真的想买那双新鞋吗?”“想买。”

如果别人说的是 yes? （语调向上）那是在问你“有什么事儿吗”

my pleasure.we can learn from each other

用yes表“什么？”是外国人的习惯而已。yes有“你叫我吗？有什么事吗？”的意思。
