現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的英語表達(dá)可不像美劇里那樣直接，甚至比中國人說話更加注重禮貌而委婉的表達(dá)。

只會(huì)excuse me和thank you肯定是萬萬不夠的。

當(dāng)提出request時(shí)：

不禮貌：Pick me up on your way to the party this evening.

禮貌：I was hoping you could give me a lift to the party.

當(dāng)我們提出建議、請(qǐng)求時(shí)，讓自己的英語更加禮貌而且不要那么直接有兩種方法：

第一，使用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)

I was wondering if you could

第二，換成反義疑問句的說法

例如：

You couldn’t give me a lift later, could you?

I don’t suppose you could pick me up tonight, could you?

當(dāng)Giving Opinions時(shí)：

不禮貌：You are too young to get married.

禮貌：I reckon you’re a little young.

在給出建議時(shí)有3種辦法使得英語更加委婉：

第一，加上Reckon/feel/guess等詞

第二，加上Sort of/kind of/a little bit等模糊表達(dá)的詞

第三，用否定疑問句來表達(dá)

例如：Aren’t you kind of young to be getting married?

當(dāng)指出錯(cuò)誤時(shí)：

不禮貌：You’ve made a mistake in this report

禮貌：You seem to have made a mistake here.

當(dāng)指出別人甚至自己的錯(cuò)誤時(shí)，加上seem/appear可以更加委婉

例如：

You appear to have saved over all my documents.

I seem to have lost those reports you wated.

如何拒絕別人的邀請(qǐng)：

不禮貌：No, I’m not coming to your party this evening.

禮貌：I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it to your party this evening.

用Tentative language 去代替no

It’s looking unlikely I’ll be able to come this evening.

或者I'm not sure...

別天真得以為對(duì)方是真的不確定能不能來哦，這就是一張好人牌而已啦
