 英语中有许多客气或委婉的说法。学英语时要特别小心,多多体会,才不会冒失,以免给人不好的印象。


  下面(1)a-(5)a是不客气的话语;(1)b-(5)b则变为委婉:
  (1) 你要什么?
  a. What do you want?
  b. Can I help you? / Is there anything I can do for you?/ Can I be of any help to you?
  (2) 我想问你一个问题。
  a. I want to ask you a question.
  b. I would like to ask you a question./ May I ask you a question?
  (3) 你遇见我的朋友吗?“Have you ever met my friend?”
  a. No, I haven't.
  b. I don't think I have./ I am afraid I have.
  (4) 你想出去吗?“Would you like to go out?”
  a. No, I wouldn't.
  b. No, I don't think I would./ I don't think so.
  (5) 你现在有空吗?“Are you free now?”
  a. No, I am not.
  b. I am afraid I have an appointment this afternoon.
  除了上述这些较固定的委婉口语之外,还有其他表示委婉的方法,如(6)b到(13)b:
  (一)多用疑问句,如:
  (6) a. Shut the door, please.
    b. Would you please shut the door?
  (7) a. I suggest that you go?
    b. May I suggest that you go?
  (二)多用情态动词(Modal verbs),特别是过去式,如:
  (8) a. I want a cup of tea.
    b. I would like to have a cup of tea. / Could I have a cup of tea?
  (9) a. I think you are making a mistake.
    b. I should have thought you were making a mistake.
  (三)用动词的过去式,如:
  (10) a. Do you want to see me?
     b. Did you want to see me?
  (11) a. I wonder if you will give me a hand?
     b. I wondered if you would give me a hand? /
  (12) a. I will appreciate it if you can approve my application.
     b. I would appreciate it if you could approve my application.
  (13) a. I am wondering if you will give me some advice.
