you may well ask 是一种幽默的表达方式,也可以说成well may you ask。英文解释为:it would be very interesting to know(表示…耐人寻味)你纳闷吧,你觉得出奇吧 当别人提出一个问题时,你说you may well ask的意思就是说对方这个问题提得很好。当你也觉得这个问题很奇怪并且你没办法回答这个问题时,可以直接回复you may well ask。 A: What happened to all the cookies you baked for the bake sale? 你为了糕点义卖做的曲奇饼干是怎么回事? B: You may well ask! Mark and his friends ate them. 问得好!马克和他的朋友把它们都吃了。 还有时候你会自己提出来一个问题,说一句you may well ask就表示你猜测对方肯定会对某个点有某种疑问,意思就类似于“你可能就会问了,你纳闷吧,你想知道吧...” How could Ben afford to buy a new car? You may well ask. 本怎么买得起新车的呢?你纳闷吧。
