Could You Please…?请你……好吗?
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask "Where are the restrooms" or "Could you please tell me Where the restrooms are "
These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direction question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.
当你游览外国时,懂得如何礼貌地请求帮助是重要的。例如,你可能会问:Where are the restrooms (洗手间在哪里?)或 Could you please tell me where the restrooms are (请你告诉我洗手间在哪里好吗?)这些均是关于问路的类似请求。两者都是正确的,但第一句听起来不太礼貌。那是因为它是一个很直接的问题。仅仅正确地问个问题是不够的。当我们寻求帮助的时,我们还需要学会如何(表达)有礼貌。
Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know them well. However, if you say to your teacher, "When is the school trip " this might sound impolite. But if you say," Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is ", this will sound much more polite.
优秀的说话者在不同的情况下会改变他们说话的方式。他们使用的表达方式可能取决于他们和谁说话或他们对彼此的熟悉程度。向你的同学问直接的问题是没关系的,因为你很了解他们。然而,如果你对你的老师说 When is the school trip (学校郊游是在什么时候?),这可能听起来不礼貌但如果你说 Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is (打扰一下,韦斯特老师。你知道学校郊游是在什么时候吗?),这听起来礼貌得多。
Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as "Could you please... "or "May I ask..."It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please tell me e-mail address " than "Peter, tell me your e-mail address."
Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, "Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me" or" I'm sorry to trouble you, but ..." before asking for help.
通常礼貌的问题更长一些。它们包括像"Could you please... "或"May I ask... "这样的表达方式。说 Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address (彼得,请你告诉我你的电子邮箱地址好吗?)比 Peter, tell me your e-mail address.(彼得,告诉我你的电子邮箱地址。)听起来更礼貌。有时候,我们甚至需要花时间来导入一个请求。例如,面对陌生人,我们可能首先说 Excuse me, I wonder if you can help(打扰一下,我想知道你是否能帮助我)或I'm sorry to trouble you, but(我很抱歉打扰你,但……),之后才说出所请求帮助的内容。
It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people.
看起来礼貌地询问比直接询问更难。然而,学习如何在不同的场合下用恰当的语言是重要的。这将有助于你更好地与他人交流。
