Language points
1. When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely.
polite adj. 意为“有礼貌的;客气的”,be polite to sb. 意为“对某人有礼貌”
politely adv. 意为“有礼貌地;客气地”
impolite adj. 意为“不礼貌的;不客气的”
impolitely adv. 意为“无礼地”
e.g. Please be polite to your guests.
2. These are similar requests for directions.
request v./n. 意为“要求,请求”
常见短语:
(1) request sth. from sb. 意为“(向某人)请求某物/某事”
(2) request sb.to do sth. 意为“请求某人做某事”
(3) request + that 从句(从句用虚拟语气:should + 动词原形,should可以省略)
e.g. The man requested some hot water from me.
3. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
(1) less 后面加上多音节形容词是比较级,与more的意思相反。有时可以和“not as/so+ adj./adv.+ as”进行互换。less polite 意为“不如……礼貌”。
e.g. That city is less fascinating than ours.=That city is not as/so fascinating than ours.
(2) sound 是系动词,意为“听起来……”。
e.g. Don’t think that English is less important now.
4. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speakingto or how well they know each other.
(1) 此句为复合句,they use 是省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句,修饰先行词the expressions; whom they speaking to和how well they know each other是宾语从句,作介词on的宾语。
(2) depend on 意为“取决于;依赖于”,on为介词,可以换成upon,后接名词、代词、动名词或接宾语从句。
