礼貌的英语
Please
Please give me five dollars.
Give me five dollars, please.
Please 可以放在句子的前面或者后面
Thank you (thanks)
Thank you for your help.
Thanks for your help.
Thank you 和 thanks 是一个意思,thanks 更口语一点。注意 th 的发音!
You’re welcome / no problem / it’s my pleasure
这三个都表示不用谢,没问题,应该的。再说,这些短语一般是单独用的。比如:
Thank you for your help.
No problem!
Sorry / excuse me / pardon me
这三个都可以表示对不起,不好意思。
Sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you.
Excuse me, I didn’t mean to bump into you.
Pardon me, I didn’t mean to bump into you.
Excuse me 和 pardon me 有另外一个用法,就是让别人注意你。比如,叫服务员可以用这两个短语。直接说 waiter 很不礼貌!
Excuse me, what time is it?
Pardon me, what time is it?
我们也应该注意提要求的说法。在英语里面如果说太直接的话,就有点不礼貌。比如,如果你想要一瓶可乐你可以说:
I want a coke.
但是这个有点太直接,更礼貌的说法是:
I would like a coke.
再举两个个例子:
He would like an apple.
They would like to order.
另外一种要求是让别人做某件事。比如,让人给你发个图片可以说:
Send me the picture.
但这个也有一点太直接了,有一点不礼貌。 更好的说法是:
Could you send me the picture?
再举两个例子:
Could you bring me a glass of water?
Could you tell me what time it is?
