怎样用英语向别人寻求帮助？
|
从朋友、亲戚、家人和同事那里寻求帮助是很常见的事。当你在寻求帮助时，礼貌很重要。可以使用这些短语来进行礼貌地求助。特别要注意你所使用的动词的形式。 Asking a Favor 寻求帮助 Could / Would you do me a favor?——当某人想请你帮忙时，一般会用这种形式来提问，将其作为开头语。 Would you do me a favor? I need some help. 你能帮我个忙吗？我需要帮助。 Could you do me a favor? I'm late for work ... 你能帮我个忙吗？我上班迟到了······ 使用Could you please + verb的形式，以在具体的情境中礼貌地寻求帮助。 Could you please take me to work? 能请你载我去上班吗？ Could you please lend me a hand? 能请你帮我个忙吗？ 使用Could you possibly + verb的一般形式，以在具体的情境中礼貌地寻求帮助。 Could I possibly take some time off to help? 能耽误你一些时间帮个忙吗？ Could you possibly work overtime today? 你今天能加班吗？ 使用Could I ask / bother / trouble you + infinitive 这个“我能请/麻烦你+不定式”的句式——在正式场合中，可以使用动词的不定式形式（to do）来寻求帮助。 Could I ask you to help my brother? 能请你帮帮我哥哥吗？ Could I bother you to give a ride to work? 我能搭你的顺风车去上班吗？ Could I trouble you to open the door for me? 能麻烦你帮我开下门吗？ 使用Would you mind + verb + ing 这个“你介意+动词-ing”的句式——在日常情境中，可以使用动名词形式来寻求帮助。 Would you mind closing the window? 你介意我关上窗户吗？ Would you mind cooking dinner tonight? 你介意今晚做晚饭吗？ 使用Would it be too much trouble for you + infinitive的句式——在非常正式的场合，可以使用这种不定式形式来寻求帮助。 Would it be too much trouble for you tolet me come in late tomorrow? 我明天晚点回来会麻烦你吗？ Would it be too much trouble for you to take a look at this letter? 能麻烦你看看这封信吗？ 使用May I + verb? 的句式——当你寻求帮助时，需要得到别人的许可，就可以使用动词一般式。 May I leave class early? 我能早点下课吗？ May we use your telephone? 我们能用用你的手机吗？ Granting a Favor 同意给予帮助 如果你想对向你求助的人表示“可以”，你可以使用这些短语来表示同意。 1.Sure. 当然。 2.No problem. 没问题。 3.I'd be happy to help you. 能帮到你我很高兴。 4.It would be my pleasure. 我的荣幸。 5.I'd be glad to help out. 我很乐意帮助你。 当你同意帮助别人时，询问更多具体的信息是很常见的。例如，如果你的朋友请你帮助他完成一个项目，你可能会提出一些疑问，从而明白需要做什么。 Refusing a Favor 拒绝帮助 如果你不能帮助别人，需要拒绝的话，你可以用这些回答来拒绝别人的求助。 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 很遗憾，我能不能+动词。 拒绝别人不是一件趣事，但有时候却是必要的。通常，如果不能帮到别人，我们会提出另一个方案来帮助解决问题。 Asking for a Favor which is Granted 得到别人的帮助 Peter: Hi Anna. I've got a favor to ask. Would you mind cooking dinner tonight? I'm kind of busy. 你好，安娜，我想请你帮个忙。你介意今晚做晚饭吗？我有点忙。 Anna: Sure, Peter.

You'll just have to watch it later. 抱歉，不行，你待会再看吧。 Practice Situations 场景练习 找一个搭档，使用这些建议来练习向别人寻求帮助，以及例子中展示的答应和拒绝别人的帮助。你要确保自己能够使用不同的表达，而不是一次次地老调重弹。 1.Ask someone to ... 让某人······ 2.loan you $50 for the weekend 周末借你50美元 3.help you with your homework 指导你的家庭作业 4.assist you with some paperwork such as filling out a form 帮你完成一些文书工作，例如填写表格 5.give you a ride 载你一程 6.check your writing or correct your grammar 检查你的作文或纠正你的语法 7.practice speaking English with you 和你一起练习英语 8.cook a meal 做饭 9.let you take a day off work 放你一天假 |
