    PART III - The Lesson
    REQUESTS AND ANSWERS
    請求與答復(fù)(請參看第9講)
    1、請某人做某事
    Would/Could you help me?
    Would you mind helping me?
    肯定答復(fù) 否定答復(fù)
    Sure? I'm afraid I can't.
    O.K. I'm sorry, I can't.
    All right Sorry, I can't.
    Certainly.
    注意:
    Sure,O.K.和All right這三種說法比較隨便,比較正式。
    2、請某人不做某事
    Would you mind not doing that?
    Please don't do that.
    肯定答復(fù)(如果有人要求我們不做某事,我們通常總是同意的。)
    O.K>
    All right.
    Sure.
    Certainly.
    3、請求允許做某事
    a)Can I come in?
    Could I use your phone?
    May I sit here?
    表示允許
    Sure.
    Of course.
    Certainly.
    b)Do you mind if I smoke?
    表示允許
    Of course not.
    在回答(a)和(b)的問題時,如果表示不允許,可以說:I'd rather you didn't.
    注意:
    Could I... Can I..把握更小一些。
    Do you mind if ..這種說法比較客氣。
    請求別人允許做某事,通常是要很客氣的。如果要做的事,比如吸煙,可能使人感到不快,問的時候尤其要客氣。
    如果你覺得你要問的問題不大好問,或可能使人感到尷尬,就可以先說 Do you mind if I ask a question?
    I'd rather you didn't 這個說法可能顯得有點怪,不過你大概記得第4講里說過I'd rather =I'd prefer.至于 didn't ,它不表示過去的動作,這里用的是虛擬語氣。
    CONVERSATIONAL DEVICES
    a)Look! 意思相當于listen to what I have to say,或 What I mean is...
    b)I see意思是“我明白了”,可在會話中用作答語。
    PART IV - The Songs
    你將在廣播里聽到兩支歌曲,一支是Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends,一支是Don't Make Me Laugh.
