课文翻译及重点词汇回顾
请问你能······吗?
当你去外国( )游玩时,知道如何礼貌地寻求帮助( )很重要。例如,“洗手间在哪里?”或者“请问你能告诉我洗手间在哪里吗?”是相似的( )问路的请求。两种说法都( )正确,但是第一个听起来没那么礼貌( )。那是因为它是一个很直接的问题。仅仅只是正确地问一个问题是不够的。当我们寻求帮助的时候,我们也需要学会如何通过更委婉的方式来显得有礼貌。
英语讲得好的人在不同的情况下( )、与不同的人说话时,他们会改变说话的方式( )。他们所使用的表达可能取决于( )他们说话的对象或者他们对彼此的熟悉程度( )。在某些情况下直接提问没关系,比如对你的同学。但是,如果你对你的老师说:“学校旅行是什么时候?”这可能听上去不礼貌。但是如果你说:“打扰一下,威斯特先生。您知道学校旅行是什么时候吗?”这听起来会礼貌得多。
通常有礼貌的问题更长一点,并且包含( )例如“请问你能......吗?”或“我可以问问......吗?”之类的表达。说“彼得,请问你能告诉我你的电子邮件地址吗?”比说“彼得,告诉我你的电子邮件地址。”听起来更有礼貌。有时,我们甚至需要花时间来引出( )请求。例如,在街上与一个陌生人( )说话,在我们寻求帮助前或许首先会说:“打扰一下,我想知道你是否可以帮帮我。”或者“很抱歉麻烦你,但......”。
礼貌地说话似乎比直白地说话更困难。但是,学习如何使用适当的语言( )很重要。这也会有助于你更好地掌握英语( )或其他任何你想说的语言。
