你知道怎樣用英語來向別人要求獲得某樣?xùn)|西嗎,?我確定你可以,。但是,,你可能會想知道,哪種方式能夠比別人更加禮貌,。這次的指南會告訴你,,怎樣用直接或間接的方式禮貌地向別人要求獲得某物。 每一個英語學(xué)習(xí)者都需要知道怎樣用英語來要求獲得某物,。有許多方式都可以做到,。如果你知道某人擁有某物,你可以通過禮貌地提問來直接要求某物,。如果你不知道,,可能就會通過以是/否來回答的問題來要求獲得某物。注意,,在要某物時不要用祈使句的形式,。換言之,不要說“把它給我”,,而是要像下面的例子一樣友善地提問,。
Do you have a pen I could borrow? Is there any wine? Did you buy any bread? 如果你知道或者看見某人擁有某物,,可以用could或may來進行禮貌地提問,。在一些非正式場合中,也可以用can,。在過去,,在要求獲得某物的時候并不會用到can,它只會在表示能力時才使用,。在英國,,劍橋大學(xué)出版的英語教學(xué)材料中,就用到了can you lend me(你能借給我),、can I have(我能······)等句型,。在美國,這種形式仍被認為是錯誤的,,人們更傾向于使用May I have…(我能·······),。 It's common to ask for things using yes / no polite phrases with 'Could you ...' and verbs such as 'lend', 'hand' and 'give'. 這里是一些用英語向別人要求獲得某物時可以使用的短語。 May I borrow a ..., please? Could you lend me a ..., please? May I have a / some ..., please? Could you hand me that / some ..., please? 關(guān)于can的句型(注意:這種表達并不是全世界通用,,僅限于英國) Can I borrow a / some ..., please? Can you lend me that / some ...., please? etc. 不要用please來作為句子的開頭,但是你可以在句尾加上please來表示禮貌,。 NOT: Please give me a pen. Correct: Could you give me a pen, please? Example Dialogues Person 1: Could you hand me that magazine? Person 2: Certainly, here it is. Person 1: Could you lend me a few dollars for lunch, please? Person 2: I'd be happy to do that. How much do you need? You can also ask for things using 'Could I ...' with verbs such as 'borrow', 'have', and 'use'. Example Dialogues Person 1: Could I borrow your pen, please? Person 2: Certainly, here you are. Person 1: Could I use that book? Person 2: The red one, or the blue one? Person 1: The blue one. Thank you. Indirect Questions - Even More Polite 我們也可以通過間接地提問來向別人要求某物,,從而顯得更加禮貌,。間接提問經(jīng)常會用在正式場合或與陌生人說話時用到。它們在語法上的難度也更高一些,。間接提問會使用Do you think…(你認為)I wonder……(我想知道)和Would it be alright if ...(如果·······可以嗎)等短語,。 Example Dialogues Person 1: Would you mind loaning me your pen? Person 2: Certainly, here you are. Person 1: I wonder if you could help me with this problem? Person 2: I'd be happy to do that. What seems to be the problem? Special Note on Borrow / Lend 記住,,在你用英語向別人要求某物時,有可能是從別人手中借來(borrow)某物,,也就是說,,別人將某物借給(lend)你。 Borrow = give to someone to use Lend = take from someone to use (來源:滬江英語 作者:Kenneth Beare 編輯:Julie) |
