当我们向别人寻求帮助的时候经常会说:Can you help me? 但是有些外国人会认为这种表达太过直接,不够礼貌,那么今天我们就来了解一下the most polite way of asking for help 求助时最礼貌的表达方式:
Would you mind...
你介意。。。吗?
我们举几个例子感受一下:
1
如果你手机没电了,想要借别人电话用一下
Would you mind lending me your phone?
2
如果在餐厅别人挡住了你,你让人家挪一下椅子
Would you mind moving your chair?
3
如果你感到很热,想要让打开空调
Would you mind me turning on the air conditioner?
4
如果别人抽烟,让你感到不舒服
Would you mind not smoking here?
有一点需要注意的是:当你问别人
Would you mind helping me for a second?
你介意帮我一下吗?
如果回答是Actually I would.他究竟会不会帮你呢?
不会!因为I would的意思是“我!介!意!”
相当于Sorry, I can't.
那么如何表达willing to help愿意帮助呢?
Not at all.一点也不(介意)
Ok, how can I help? 好吧!我能帮你做什么?
看完你一定会发现其中规律
Would you mind (someone)+doing something
介意某人做某事吗?
所以说,语法并不需要死记硬背,只要学会举一反三,自然而然就记住了啊!咳咳!突入袭来的一波Learning tips!
箴言28章19节
耕种自己田地的,必得饱食;追随虚浮的,足受穷乏。
He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
