第三部分：課程

1. POLITE WAYS TO ASK
SOMEONE TO DO
SOMETHING FOR YOU
有禮貌地請求別人為你做某件事情
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./AII right.
Do you mind helping me?
(No) Not at all./ O.K.
注意：
Would you+verb（動詞）是表示請求的一種套語格式。Would you mind+verb+ -ing 是另外一種格式，語氣上顯得特別有禮貌。
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“並不介意”，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
有禮貌地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8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：
(I've been there) since July.
(I've been there) for a month.
問句How long have you been...用現在完成時。你一定還記得，這種時態用來把過去和現在作某種聯系。
I came here a year ago and I'm still here.(1.I've been here for a year. 2.I've been here since last year.)
請記住：
Since 用來表明從過去的某個時間一直到說話的時刻。
For 用來表明一段時間。

CONVERSATIONAL DEVICES

b) All right 也有許多意思，在Dialogue 1也表示“行，我愿意。”
