英语会话:如何提出要求
当你要求别人为你做什么,或者问别人你是否可以做什么,采取毕竟礼貌的说法很重要。这是一些常用句法:
要求别人为你做事
"Could you open the door for me, please?"
"Would you mind opening the door for me, please?"
"Can you open the door for me, please?"
询问别人你是否可以做..
"Can I use your computer, please?"
"Could I borrow some money from you, please?"
Could 比 can 听起来有礼貌得多。
"Do you mind if I turn up the heating?"
"Would you mind if I turned up the heating?"
这两句无需加please,因为已经很有礼貌了。
