1. It’s important to know how to ask for help politely.
知道如何礼貌地请求帮助是很重要的。
① ask for help 求助
ask sb. for help. 求助某人
② politely adv. 有礼貌地,它的形容词为polite,反义词为impolitely
有些形容词加前缀im构成反义词:
possible—impossible
polite—impolite
politely—impolitely
……
形容词加ly构成副词:
polite—politely quick—quickly
healthy—healthily real—really
……
Key points
2. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
两种说法都正确,但是第一个听起来没那么礼貌。
①Less+形容词或副词,构成降级比较形式,意为“不那么,稍许不…”
eg:他的第二部分影片就不那么有趣。
His second movie is less interesting.
②Less 后面常接than,引入比较对象。
eg:有些品种的狗不如另一些那么友善。
Some kinds of dogs are less friendly than others.
我并不那么生气,更多的是惊讶。
I was less angry than surprised.
Key points
3. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.
看起来说得客气比起说得直白要更加困难些。
①It是“形式主语”,真正主语是动词不变式短语。
eg:能说一门外语是非常有用的。
It’s very helpful to be able to speak a foreign language.
完成这个项目花了我三天时间。
It took me three days to finish the project.
②might 表达一种可能性及推测的不确定性,表示“有可能,也许会”。
eg:火车也许会晚几个小时。
The train might be a few hours late.
吉娜可能走不了。
Gina might not be able to go.
