英语委婉语句解析

  英语中有许多客气或委婉的说法。学英语时要特别小心,多多体会,才不会冒失,给人不好的印象。

  下面(1)a-(5)a是不客气的话语;(1)b-(5)b则变为委婉:

  (1) 你要什么?

  a. What do you want?

  b. Can I help you? / Is there anything I can do for you?/ Can I be of any help to you?

  (2) 我想问你一个问题。

  a. I want to ask you a question.

  b. I would like to ask you a ques-tion./ May I ask you a question?

  (3) 你遇见我的朋友吗?“Have you ever met my friend?”

  a. No, I haven't.

  b. I don't think I have./ I am afraid I have.

  (4) 你想出去吗?“Would you like to go out?”

  a. No, I wouldn't.

  b. No, I don't think I would./ I don't think so.

  (5) 你现在有空吗?“Are you free now?”

  (8) a. I want a cup of tea.

  b. I would like to have a cup of tea. / Could I have a cup of tea?

  (9) a. I think you are making a mistake.

  b. I should have thought you were making a mistake.

  (三)用动词的过去式,如:

  (10) a. Do you want to see me?

  b. Did you want to see me?

  (11) a. I wonder if you will give me a hand?

  b. I wondered if you would give me a hand?

  (12) a. I will appreciate it if you can approve my application.
