從朋友、親戚、家人和同事那里尋求幫助是很常見的事。當你在尋求幫助時,禮貌很重要?梢允褂眠@些短語來進行禮貌地求助。特別要注意你所使用的動詞的形式。
Asking a Favor
尋求幫助
Could / Would you do me a favor?——當某人想請你幫忙時,一般會用這種形式來提問,將其作為開頭語。
Would you do me a favor? I need some help.
你能幫我個忙嗎?我需要幫助。
Could you do me a favor? I'm late for work ...
你能幫我個忙嗎?我上班遲到了······
使用Could you please + verb的形式,以在具體的情境中禮貌地尋求幫助。
Could you please take me to work?
能請你載我去上班嗎?
Could you please lend me a hand?
能請你幫我個忙嗎?
使用Could you possibly + verb的一般形式,以在具體的情境中禮貌地尋求幫助。
Could I possibly take some time off to help? 能耽誤你一些時間幫個忙嗎?
Could you possibly work overtime today? 你今天能加班嗎?
使用Could I ask / bother / trouble you + infinitive 這個“我能請/麻煩你+不定式”的句式——在正式場合中,可以使用動詞的不定式形式(to do)來尋求幫助。
Could I ask you to help my brother?
能請你幫幫我哥哥嗎?
Could I bother you to give a ride to work?
我能搭你的順風車去上班嗎?
Could I trouble you to open the door for me?
能麻煩你幫我開下門嗎?
使用Would you mind + verb + ing 這個“你介意+動詞-ing”的句式——在日常情境中,可以使用動名詞形式來尋求幫助。
Would you mind closing the window?
你介意我關(guān)上窗戶嗎?
Would you mind cooking dinner tonight?
你介意今晚做晚飯嗎?
使用Would it be too much trouble for you + infinitive的句式——在非常正式的場合,可以使用這種不定式形式來尋求幫助。

我明天晚點回來會麻煩你嗎?
Would it be too much trouble for you to take a look at this letter?
能麻煩你看看這封信嗎?
使用May I + verb? 的句式——當你尋求幫助時,需要得到別人的許可,就可以使用動詞一般式。

我能早點下課嗎?
May we use your telephone?
我們能用用你的手機嗎?
Granting a Favor
同意給予幫助
如果你想對向你求助的人表示“可以”,你可以使用這些短語來表示同意。
1.Sure.
當然。
2.No problem.
沒問題。
3.I'd be happy to help you.
能幫到你我很高興。
4.It would be my pleasure.
我的榮幸。
5.I'd be glad to help out.
我很樂意幫助你。
當你同意幫助別人時,詢問更多具體的信息是很常見的。例如,如果你的朋友請你幫助他完成一個項目,你可能會提出一些疑問,從而明白需要做什么。
Refusing a Favor
拒絕幫助
如果你不能幫助別人,需要拒絕的話,你可以用這些回答來拒絕別人的求助。
1.I'm afraid I can't.
恐怕我不行。
2.Sorry, but I'm unable + infinitive.
抱歉,但我不能+不定式。
3.Unfortunately, I'm not able + infinitive.
很可惜,我不能+不定式。
4.Regrettably, I can't + verb
很遺憾,我能不能+動詞。
拒絕別人不是一件趣事,但有時候卻是必要的。通常,如果不能幫到別人,我們會提出另一個方案來幫助解決問題。
