关于对没有听懂或理解别人的意思时，一定要大胆的去问或让对发重复，以达到话题的深入进展，下面是一些 对话和一些对没有理解别人的意思时的一些建议。
If you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask. Some Chinese seem to feel that it is impolite to ask questions even when they don't quite understand. However, it's much better to say that you don't understand than to pretend you understand and answer very vaguely. When you don't understand, or have a clock what was said, you may ask by saying any of the following. I beg your pardon? I am not clear on what you said. I am fraid I don't understand you. Would you mind saying it again? I am sorry I don't follow you. Could you repeat that? I didn't get it. You'll improve your understanding and the speaker will be happy to make his point again.
如果你不明白,请不要迟迟犹豫。 一些中国似乎觉得这样很不礼貌,甚至在他们提出问题并不十分理解的时候。 然而,还不如再让别人重复一次,因为那样比你假装并很了解却做出含糊的回答要好的多。 当你不明白,或许你还有时间去问别人,你可以用以下面这些方式提出: 延续对话的开展： 您能再重复一遍吗？我没听清您刚才说什么？ 我恐怕不能理解您的话？您能再重复一遍吗？ 很抱歉，我跟不上您，您能再重复一遍吗？ 我没弄明白。 您也将提高你的理解能力，对方也将很高兴再次重复他刚才说的观点。
