实用口语:怎样用英语要求获得某物
英语课
你知道怎样用英语来向别人来要求获得某样东西吗?我确定你可以。但是,你可能会想知道,哪种方式能够比别人更加礼貌。这次的指南会告诉你,怎样用直接或间接的方式礼貌地向别人要求获得某物。
每一个英语学习者都需要知道怎样用英语来要求获得某物。有许多方式都可以做到。如果你知道某人拥有某物,你可以通过礼貌地提问来直接要求某物。如果你不知道,可能就会通过以是/否来回答的问题来要求获得某物。注意,在要某物时不要用祈使句的形式。换言之,不要说“把它给我”,而是要像下面的例子一样友善地提问。
Do you have a pen I could 1 borrow 2?
你能借我一支钢笔吗?
Is there any wine 3?
有酒吗?
Did 4 you buy any bread?
你买面包了吗?
如果你知道或者看见某人拥有某物,可以用could或may来进行礼貌地提问。在一些非正式场合中,也可以用can。在过去,在要求获得某物的时候并不会用到can,它只会在表示能力时才使用。在英国,剑桥大学出版的英语教学材料中,就用到了can you lend 5 me(你能借给我)、can I have(我能······)等句型。在美国,这种形式仍被认为是错误的,人们更倾向于使用May I have…(我能·······)。
It's common 6 to ask for things using yes / no polite 8 phraseswith 'Could you ...' and verbs 9 such 10 as 7 'lend', 'hand' and 'give'.
将是/否型礼貌短语与could you动词lend、hand和give搭配是很常见的。
这里是一些用英语向别人要求获得某物时可以使用的短语。
May I borrow a ..., please?
请问,我能借······吗?
Could you lend me a ..., please?
请问,你能借给我······吗?
May I have a / some ..., please?
请问,我能借用······吗?
Could you hand me that / some ..., please?
请问,你能递给我那个/一些······吗?
关于can的句型(注意:这种表达并不是全世界通用,仅限于英国)
Can I borrow a / some ..., please?
请问,我能借一个/一些······吗?
Can you lend me that / some ...., please? etc.
你能借给我那个/一些······吗?
不要用please来作为句子的开头,但是你可以在句尾加上please来表示礼貌。
NOT Please give me a pen.
错误:请给我一支钢笔。
Correct 11: Could you give me a pen, please?
正确:能请你给我一支钢笔吗?

Indirect 17 Questions - Even 18 More Polite
间接提问——更加礼貌
我们也可以通过间接地提问来向别人要求某物,从而显得更加礼貌。间接提问经常会用在正式场合或与陌生人说话时用到。它们在语法上的难度也更高一些。间接提问会议Do you think…(你认为)I wonder 19……(我想知道)和Would 20 it be alright if ...(如果·······可以吗)等短语。[/cn]
