英文句子修改: “talk a few words” 地道吗?

只看楼主收藏回复

Question:
“He went into the room and talked a few words with everyone” 地道吗?
alexcwlin comments:
“talked a few words”基本上没有大问题, 但似乎如下的说法地道一点儿:
1. 如果是“对话”,我会这么说:
He went into the room and (talked/chat) a bit with everyone.
2. 如果是单方面对每个人说几句话, 我会这么说:
He went into the room and said a few words to everyone.

    "Talk" is an intransitive verb.
    一般说talk to/with sb.
    所以talk a few words错误
    但是say a few words可以
