PART III - The Lesson

1.POLITE WAYS TO ASK SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU 有禮貌的請求別人為你做某些事情
May I have your name,please?
(Yes) Certainly./O.K.
Would you sign here,please?
(Yes)Sure.
Would you mind signing here,please?
(No)Not at all./Certainly./All right.
Do you mind helping me?
(No) Not at all./O.K.
注意:
*Would you + verb(動詞)是表示請求的一種客套格式.Would you mind + verb + -ing 是另一種格式,語氣顯得特別禮貌.
*Do you mind + verb + -ing 是比較普通的請求格式
*對would/do you mind ...的回答通常是說No(見上),表示"并不介意"實際上就是表示同意.
*對上面列舉的各種要求,一般總是同意的,因為提出這樣請求的人總以為對方不會反對,否則就不提出請求了.

2.POLITE WAYS TO OFFER TO HELP SOMEONE 有禮貌的表示愿意為別人服務
May I help you?
Are you right?
Can I give you a hand?(參看第八講)
Would you like me to ...?
在商店里可以聽到這樣的對話:
May I help you?
Yes,I'm looking for .../
No,thanks. I'm just having a look.
Are you right?
Well,I'm looking for .../
Yes,thanks.I'm just having a look.
3.TALKING TO FOREIGNERS IN CHINA 在中國與外國人交談
向外國旅游者常常可以問:
How long have you been in China?
回答可能是:

請記住:
Since 用來表明從過去的某個時間一直到說話的時刻.
