Aubrey Carter: 我认为“strike you as odd”这个表达很有趣，可以用它来连接一些让你觉得奇怪的事情。母语人士倾向于使用“struck me as odd”这样的表达，这是一种微调英语以实现连接的好方法。“That strikes me as...”这个表达通常与 odd, weird, strange 等词一起使用，意味着某事出乎意料或奇怪。我觉得“That strikes me as...”不和积极的形容词连用。“She strikes me as the type of person who is a good leader” 这个句子表达了我对某人的印象，我认为她可能会成为一个好领导。我们觉得奇怪的事情可以很好地展示我们的价值观和观点，可以用来开启对话。“I fear that she is getting more stubborn by the day” 意味着 “I think she's getting more stubborn by the day”。“I fear that” 通常用于表达负面的事情。如果你注意到一些不寻常的事情，你可以用这些表达方式和朋友开启对话。这些表达方式比八卦更客观，更像是观察和思考。我用 “I found it odd that Marie wasn't speaking to Jack. Did you notice that?” 来试探你是否也注意到了这件事。“I found it odd” 和 “I thought it was” 意思相同，但语气更柔和。“I fear that they may have broken up” 表达了我认为他们可能分手了，但我不确定的担忧。Peculiar 是 odd 的一个很好的同义词。如果你觉得某事很奇怪或有趣，可以就此展开对话。
Lindsay McMahon: 今天早上倒车时不小心撞到了砖墙，这对我来说有点奇怪，因为我通常不会犯这种错误。撞到东西这件事本身并不奇怪，但对我来说很奇怪，因为我通常不会撞到东西。“That strikes me as...” 是一种较长的表达，用来叙述你认知到某事很奇怪的过程。“I think”有很多有趣的替代表达方式。“It always strikes me as surprising when someone gets really aggressive” 这个句子不是指特定的例子，而是指我总是觉得某人变得很有攻击性令人惊讶。“She strikes me as” 是一种更生动的表达方式，用来代替 “she seems like”。“I find it odd that she never called” 和 “I think it's odd that she didn't call” 意思相同。“I've always found it strange that horses can sleep standing up” 用来表达我一直觉得马站着睡觉很奇怪。提出你觉得奇怪的事情，可以试探对方是否同意你的观点，从而开启对话。“I fear that” 听起来更诗意、戏剧化。当你站在某件事的外部，想要与旁边的人建立联系时，这些表达方式很有用。这些短语感觉不那么八卦或肤浅，更多的是观察性的。
