     你说的话是不是常常引起误会呢?你的请求是不是常常得不到回复呢?如果是,可能别人认为你的英语不够礼貌客气。赶快调整一下措辞,避免让人感觉不礼貌吧!


    1、“Can you pass me...?” vs. “Give me...”
    人们不喜欢被别人支配,因此有时想直接得到你想要的可不是那么简单。换掉那些听起来是命令的语句“Give me the newspaper”,而使用“Can you pass me the newspaper?”
    2、“Could 1 you give me five minutes?” vs. “Go away.”
    你工作非常忙,但是你的同事却请你帮忙,只说“Go away”肯定是不合适的。取而代之,用 “Could you give me five minutes?”就能让人觉得愉快多了。
    3、“Excuse me.” vs. “Move.”
    让别人“Move out of the way”听起来特别粗鲁,而且这样说很可能会被别人拒绝。下一次有人挡了你的路,你可以说“Excuse me”,这样就能避免不愉快的情况出现。
    4、“I’m afraid I can’t.” vs. “No.”
    有时候要拒绝一个朋友的邀请非常困难,只说“No.”听起来很不礼貌。下一次要拒绝别人的时候,你可以说“I’m afraid I can’t.”
    5、“I would 2 like...” vs. “I want...”
    用“I want”表示请求常常被认为不礼貌。试着向服务生说“I’d like a cup of coffee, please”。你就能得到你想要的咖啡和别人的一个微笑了!
    6、“Would you mind 3...?” vs. “Stop it!”
    如果有人做你不喜欢的事你该怎样阻止他们呢?要想得到理想中的结果,不用大声叫嚣“Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!”,只要客气对他们说“Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?”
    7、“Can you hold, please?” vs. “Wait.”
    如果有人打电话来找人,一句“Wait”可能会使对方挂断电话。“Can you hold, please?”不但听起来礼貌,还能使对话更有效。
    8、“You look tired.” vs. “Is everything OK?”
    不要说“你看上去很累”。这句话暗示了她看上去状况不佳。我们可以说“Is everything OK?”(你一切还好吗?)我们会脱口而出 tired 这个词是因为感觉到对方有些消沉,所以直接问原因吧。
    9、“Wow, you’ve lost a ton 4 of weight!” vs. “You look fantastic 5.”
    不要说“哇塞,你减掉了N 斤啊”。对一个刚恢复苗条的人来说,这句话给她的感觉是自己从前看上去很糟糕。我们可以说“You look fantastic.”(你看上去真棒。)并且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何变苗条的,那就加上一句“What’s your secret 6?”(有啥秘诀呀?)10、“You look good for your age.” vs. “You look great.”
    不要说“以你的年纪来说,你看上不错啊”。任何像这样带有告诫意味的话语都是粗鲁的。这就是在说:“跟其他老家伙比起来,你看上去不错。你那口牙竟然一颗没掉,太令人惊讶了。”我们应该直接说“You look great.”(你看上去很棒。)11、“I could never wear that. ” vs. “You look so good in skinny jeans.”
    不要说“我是穿不了那裤子的”。这话可以被误解为批评——那裤子太丑了,我才不要穿。我们应该说“You look so good in skinny jeans.”(你穿紧身牛仔裤很漂亮。)假如你不小心说漏了嘴,那就这么圆回来“I could never wear that… because I wasn’t blessed 7 with your long legs.”(我是穿不了那裤子……因为我没你那样修长的腿哎。)
