确认对方理解了 — Did that make sense?
核心场景:你讲完一段话、演示完某个功能、或者解释完一个问题之后,想确认对方是否跟上了、听懂了。
一、核心句型(从正式到口语)
| 句子 | 语气 | 适用场景 |
|---|---|---|
| Is my explanation clear enough? | 正式,有点自省 | 演讲、文档说明后 |
| Did I explain it clearly? | 中性,直接 | 职场会议、代码解释后 |
| Was that clear? | 轻松简短 | 口语,团队内部 |
| Does it make sense? | 最高频;非常地道 | 各类场景通用 ✅ |
💡 Does it make sense? 是英语母语者的默认选项,频率远高于其他表达。
说完任何解释后都能用,语气自然不尴尬。
二、变体扩展
询问听懂了吗
Does that make sense? (回顾刚说的内容)
Did that make sense? (同上,用过去时更口语)
Does that track? (非常口语,美式英语;track = 跟上了吗)
Are you following me? (稍正式,"你跟上了吗?")
Am I making sense? (自我怀疑版:我说清楚了吗?)
询问是否有问题
Any questions so far? (最常用:到目前为止有问题吗?)
Does anyone have questions? (会议/讲解后)
Feel free to ask if anything's unclear. (委婉:不懂随时问)
Let me know if you need clarification. (邮件/文档常用)
更正式的书面表达
Please let me know if my explanation is unclear.
I hope that clarifies things. ("希望这样说清楚了")
Feel free to reach out if you have further questions.
三、与之相关的:确认服务/功能跑通
中文:至少服务现在可以跑通。
技术语境首选:
At least the service is running now.
变体:
| 表达 | 语感 |
|---|---|
At least the service is up and running now. |
最地道 ✅;up and running = 跑起来了 |
At least the service is working now. |
通用,简单直接 |
At least we got the service to run. |
强调"让它跑起来"这个过程 |
The service is functional now, at least. |
书面,强调"至少是功能正常了" |
The service is passing end-to-end now, at least. |
技术团队语境,强调"跑通了" |
💡 up and running 是工程师日常口语高频搭配,强烈推荐。
四、场景对话
场景 A:解释完技术方案后
You: So that's how the service handles the retry logic. Does that make sense?
Colleague: Yeah, I think so — could you clarify the timeout part?
You: Sure. Let me know if anything's still unclear after.
场景 B:演示完功能后
You: I've shown you the basic flow. Was that clear?
Colleague: Mostly, yeah. What happens if the token expires?
You: Good question — at least the service is up and running now, so we can test that edge case.
