你好呀，我是Ada！
今天跟大家聊聊“Don't tell me”这个词。三个最简单的单词组起来，形成了最容易理解错的一句话。
Don't ，不；tell ，告诉；me，我。“Don't tell me”，不要告诉我。听起来是不是完全没问题？
但是！看句子不能只看字面意思！ “Don't tell me!”不是让你别说话！
如果别人跟你说“Don't tell me”，他的意思不是“别告诉我，我知道了”，而是不相信你！
Don't tell me
“Don't tell me!”真正的意思是：我才不信呢！（骗谁呢你）
例句
--I’ll fail my exam.
我要挂科了。
--Don't tell me！
骗鬼呢你！
但“Don't tell me”后面接that从句时，可以表达“别告诉我...”
-Don't tell me that you can't do it.
别告诉我你不会做这件事。
所以，以后可不要听到“Don't tell me”就想当然的认为对方是让你别说哦~
表达不相信
“我不相信”不要只会说“I don't believe it.”“I don't trust you .”
试试下面几种说法：
1. 你说真的？
Really?/Seriously?/Are you sure?
例句--I quit my job several days ago.
我前两天辞职了。
-- Are you sure?
真的吗？
2.你开玩笑呢吧？
Are you kidding?/Are you kidding me?/You gotta be kidding me.
例句--Mary is crying loudly outside!
玛丽在外面大声哭泣。
--Are you kidding?
你开玩笑呢吧？
3.不可能！
No way./No shit./Are you shitting me?
例句-- I am going to eat dinner with Jenny.
我要去和詹妮吃饭啦。
--Are you shitting me?
不可能！
