三.詞組Would like to
現在我們來學另外一種客氣話, 也就是 would like to. 這個詞組就是 "要" want to, w-a-n-t t-o, want to 的意思, 不過比較客氣.
下面我們要作一組練習. 由老師念兩個句子, 第一個句子用 want to, 第二個句子 用的是 would like to. 這兩句話意思一樣.
M: Nancy wants to see a doctor.
F: Nancy would like to see a doctor.
M: Henry wants to watch television.
F: Henry would like to watch television.
M: Kate wants to buy a sweater.
F: Kate would like to buy a sweater.
M: Susan wants to visit her cousins.
F: Susan would like to visit her cousins.
M: Peter wants to become a sport star.
F: Peter would like to become a sport star.
M: Mary wants to have a weekly allowance.
F: Mary would like to have a weekly allowance.
剛才我們學習了怎么用客氣話 would like' to 作陳述句, 下面我們看一看怎么用 這個詞組作問句. 比方有一句話: "你要做一個打字員嗎?" 英文可以這么說:
Would you like to be a typist? 另外一句話: "你要做市政府工作人員嗎?" 英文可 以這么說: Would you like to be a city worker? 好, 現在我們來作換字練習. 老師 先念一個句子, 接著老師念一個新詞組, 請你把新詞組代換進去. 作完之后, 請 你注意聽正確答案.
M: Would you like to be a typist?
M: be a city worker
F: Would you like to be a city worker?
M: sing in a concert
F: Would you like to sing in a concert?
M: live near the university
F: Would you like to live near the university?
M: sit next to the window
F: Would you like to sit next to the window?
M: take two suitcases to New York
F: Would you like to take two suitcases to New York?
下面我們換一個方式作練習. 老師用 would you like to 作一個問句, 比方: "你要 作一個救火員嗎?" Would you like to be a fire fighter? 然后你會聽到老師說 Yes 或是 No, 請你根據你所聽到的回答問題. 如果是肯定的, 就用 would 回答, 是否 定的就用 would not, 也就是 wouldn't 回答. 作了答案之后, 請你聽正確答案.
M: Would you like to be a fire fighter?
M: Yes
F: Yes, I would like to be a fire fighter.
M: Would you like to buy this record?
M: No
F: No, I wouldn't like to buy this record.
M: Would you like to have a glass of milk?
M: No
F: No, I wouldn't like to have a glass of milk.
