   Asking Favors 1 求助


  When you ask for things, it is important to be polite. The intonation 2 that you use in making your request 3 is as important as what you actually say. When you think someone will refuse your request, you can ask the question in such a way that the refusal 4 does not cause embarrassment 5.
  1. A: Is there any chance of my borrowing your type-writer?
  B: For how long?
  A: Until the end of the week.
  B: Yes, I guess that would be all right.
  2. A: Would you mind if I borrowed your car?
  B: Well, when exactly?
  A: Until Monday or Tuesday of next week.
  B: I'm sorry, but it's just not possible.
  3. A: Do you think you could lend me some of your records?
  B: Until when?
  A: Oh, just over the holidays.
  B: I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it.
  4. A: I was wondering if you'd let me stay with you for a few days.
  B: It really depends on when.
  A: Until next weekend, if that's OK.
  B: Let me think it over, and I'll let you know later.
