me.译文：你正在告诉我。辨析：英语原文是个普通句子，口语中常用，但译文意思不清楚，中国人不这样说话。这句话的意思是：我早就知道，不用你告诉我。/ 这还用你说吗？英语有许多习惯用法，尤其是口语，有些话看似简单，但照字面译往往令人茫然不解，以tell为例可举许多例子，表现的含义和语气各不相同：⒈ Tell me another.我不信这件事。（不是“告诉我另一件”）⒉ I'm telling you.注意听我说（这是很重要的）。（译成“我在告诉你”毫无意义。）⒊ Don't tell me you don't know.你还能不知道？我不信你会不知道。（不是“不要告诉我你不知道”。）⒋ Tell me,it was a misunderstanding.这肯定是一场误会吧？（表示说话人不相信某事的心情，但愿这是场误会。）⒌ You tell me,you love me.你许愿你爱我。（如将tell译成“告诉”，意思会很滑稽。）⒍ Don't let him tell you that.千万别信他。⒎ He couldn't tell himself why he had kept up all the photos.他自己也解释不清楚为什么一直保存着这些照片。（这里译成“告诉自己”讲不通。）⒏ Tell it to

say,speak,talk,tell 这组词的共同含义是“说，告诉”。其区别是：say指“说出”，着重指说出具体的内容，一般用作及物动词，后面的宾语是所说的话； speak指“说话，发言”，着重开口说话的动作，一般用作不及物动词，其宾语通常是表示某种语言名称的词； talk指“讲话，谈论”，意思与speak相近，在一些情况下可以通用，通常talk用作不及物动词； tell指“告诉”，是直接给对方讲或以间接的方式转诉某事，在多数情况下，tell的后面通常接双宾语，在少数情况下可用简单宾语。试体会下面这几个词的用法和含义：He had talked for a long time,but he spoke so fast that we couldn't catch what he said.他讲了很长时间，但他说得太快了，我们没听清他讲了些什么。Mr. Green was invited to speak〔talk〕 to us on Greek philosophy.格林先生应邀给我们讲希腊哲学。He told me the news.他告诉了我这个消息。He told me that he was coming.他告诉我说他就来。 ⒈他告诉我们他通过了考试。[误] He told that he had passed the exam.[正]

“告诉某人不要做某事”，英语用“tell sb not to do sth ”，即用不定式作复合宾语。⒊说实在话，我不太想去看演出。[误] Telling the truth,I'm not very interested in going to the show.[正] To tell the truth,I'm not very interested in going to the show.[析] to tell the truth常在句中作插入语，这是一种固定表达方式，不用分词短语。⒋正如我昨天告诉你的，他在会上站起来说话却不知所云。[误] As I spoke to you yesterday,he got up to speak and said nothing at the meeting.[正] As I told you yesterday,he got up to speak and said nothing at the meeting.[析] 说出具体的内容要用动词tell，而speak只表示说话的动作而不涉及内容。⒌不要说谎话！[误] Don't say lies![正] Don't tell lies![析] say与tell相比较，只有tell才能和有祈使语气的话连用。⒍她说：“我要走了。”[误] She told，“I am leaving.”[正] She said，“I am leaving.”[析] tell后面一般要加说话的对象（人称代词），然后再加说话的内容； 而say可以直接加内容。⒎简和萨长得这么相像，只有她们的母亲才分得清她们。[误] They are so alike that only their mother can tell Jane and Sar.[正] They are so alike

作为“告诉，讲述”讲，用在能讲完整的事物前，如story,news,truth,lie,opinion,views等时是及物动词； 用在不能讲清楚或讲完整的事物前，是不及物动词，后面要跟of或about。⒐他告诉了我有关这所名牌大学的一些消息。[误] He told me some information about this prestigious university.[正] He gave me some information about this prestigious university.[析] 可以说give sb information,supply〔provide〕 sb with information，但不能说tell sb information。⒑她查看约翰的手掌，给他算命。[误] She inspected John's palm and said his
