I have no clue.

I don’t have a clue.


To be completely unable to guess, understand, or deal with something.

                                     (Cambridge Dictionary)

表示你没明白某件事或者完全不知道该怎么办。毫无头绪,一无所知。

(非常口语化的一种表达I don’t know的方式)

EXAMPLE

Don't ask your father which key to press - he hasn't got a clue about computers.

别问你爸要按哪个键,他对电脑一窍不通!

(Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary & Thesaurus)



几种方式表达“我不知道”

1. I don’t know.

2.  I have no idea.

/ I haven’t the faintest idea.

/ I have no clue.

一无所知,一头雾水,一脸.....

(These expressions are used when you have no information and you cannot guess the answer to a question.)

(当你不了解相关信息,连猜都猜不出来的时候)

E.g.

-What time does the film start?

-电影啥时候开始啊?

-I have no idea. Why don’t you call the cinema?

-我不造啊,你干嘛不自己打电话问问电影院!

E.g.

-Could somebody please explain how this happened?

-谁能解释下这是怎么回事吗???

-I haven’t the faintest idea.

我也不造怎么解释。

3. Dunno.

(This is used informally and in spoken language, especially by teenagers who don’t want to answer their parents!)

(口语化表达,通常是青少年不想搭理父母的时候用,呃=,=)

E.g.

-When do you have to submit this essay?

-你什么时候提交论文啊?

-Dunno. I can’t remember.

-哎呀不知道,我想不起来了。

4. Don’t ask me.

/ How should I know?

/ You tell me.

(These are used when you do not know something and you feel annoyed

that someone is asking you about it.)

(当你不仅不知道,还有点恼羞成怒的时候)

E.g.

-What time did she say she was catching her train?

-她啥时候说的她上火车了?

-Don’t ask me. I’m always the last to know.

-呵呵,别问我,我永远都是最后一个才知道的好吗。

E.g.

-What's the call time for tomorrow?

-明天什么时候的预约啊?

-You tell me, you are the first assistant director.

-我问你才对吧,你才是第一助理。

5. Who knows?

(不知道而且其他人也不可能知道的时候)

E.g.

-Will they ever find the missing aircraft?

-他们会发现失踪的飞机吗?

-Who knows? The search been going on for such a long time now.

-鬼知道啊,已经调查了好久了。

6. Your guess is as good as mine.

(This is used for saying that you know as little about something as the person who asked you about it)

(你和对方一样都不知道的时候)

E.g.

-Do you think we will be able to book the restaurant for Friday?

-你觉得咱们能订上周五的饭店吗?

-Your guess is as good as mine.

-其实我和你一样一脸懵逼。

好啦,下次即使不知道答案,也可以炫酷的说出“老子不懂”啦!
