请人帮忙怎么说?
“Can you help me”?
在外国人听来,这样的说法是很不礼貌的!
下面告诉你,请人帮忙怎样说才礼貌地道!
1
Could / Would you do me a favor?
could这个词常常用于询问和请求,听起来比简单粗暴的“can”有礼貌得多,而“Would you do me a favor?” 是更加正式的表达。
这两种问句用于话题开始询问他人是否愿意提供帮助。
do me a favor是个很常用的短语,要记住它。
例句
- Excuse me? Could you do me a favor, please?
- 劳驾,你能帮我一个忙吗?
- Would you do me a favor and come up here and convince yourself that three are already in there?
- 你能帮我个忙,到这里来证实一下,里面已经有3个了吗?
2
Could you possibly...
后接动词原形请求对方做某些明确的行为,适用于日常生活。使用possibly非常委婉,意思是“可能地”,有一种弱弱的感觉,你可能会帮助我一下吗?
例句
- Could you possibly take me to work?
- 你可能会开车送我去上班吗?
- Could you possibly take care of my pet cat while I'm away?
- 我不在时,你能不能照看一下我的宠物猫呢?
