Unit 3 Could you please tell me where the restrooms are? C
当你到国外游玩时， 要知道如何礼貌地请求帮助是十分重要的。
例如，你可能会问“洗手间在哪里
?”
或者“您能告诉我洗手间在哪里吗
?“
，
这些用语都是问路的相似问句。 两句都是正确的，但第一句听起来不那么礼貌，这是因为它提问太直接了。
当我们请求帮助时仅仅正确地提问还远远不够的， 我们还需要学习如何表达才更有礼貌。
优秀的说话者在不同情境会改变自己说话的方式。
他们所使用的表述或许取决于他们与谁交谈以及与谈话者的熟悉程度。
如果你对你的同学直接问话是完全可以的因为你对他们很熟悉。
然而你对老师说学校郊游是在什么时候
?
这也许听起来是不够礼貌；
但如果你说
:
请问，韦斯特老师，您知道学校什么时间郊游吗
?
这听起来就要礼貌得多。
通常礼貌的提问语句要长一些，并且包含诸如
Could you please ...?
或
Can I ask ...?
表达。
说“彼得，麻烦你说一下你的电子邮件地址好吗
?”
比说“彼得，告诉我你的电子邮件地址。”听起来更有礼貌。
有时我们甚至需要花一些时间来导入我们的请求。
例如我们先对陌生人说， “劳驾，我想您能否帮我一下” 或者“十分抱歉麻烦你，但是
...“
之后才说出请求帮助。
似乎礼貌地讲话比直白地说话更困难一些。
然而， 学习如何使用恰当的语言是很重要的。这会帮助你与他人更好地进行交流。
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely.
For example, you may ask “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?”
These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly.
We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help .
Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations.
The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other.
It is all right to ask direct questions to your classmates because you know well.
However, if you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, this might sound impolite.
But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite.
Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as “Could you please ..?” or “May I ask ...?”
It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.”
Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request.
For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.
It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be directly.
However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.
This will help you communicate better with other people.
Good habits achieve beautiful life.
Try to be your best
