- of course
Of course is often used to show that what you are saying is not surprising or is generally known or accepted. For this reason, and because it can be difficult to get the right intonation, you may not sound polite if you use of course or of course not when you answer a request for information or permission. It can be safer to use a different word or phrase. of course常用以表示所说的事不足为奇或理所当然。与此同时,由于可能不容易掌握恰当的语调,用of course或of course not回答询问或请求时可能显得不礼貌。因此,用其他词语可能更稳妥。
