来源:思拓国际   日期:2015-06-26 14:16:54

超人是不存在的,不论你有多聪明,肯定都会碰到不知道的事情,比如在外地旅游时因人生地不熟而需要向别人问路,或急需某人的电话号码向周围的人询问等等。


如何用英语向他人咨询信息是英语初学者需掌握的一个基本技能。


询问信息时常用的句型有:

Can you tell me...? 你能告我…吗?

Could you tell me...? 您能告我…吗?

I'd like to know... 我想知道…

Got / Have you any idea...? 你知不知道…?

Could anyone tell me...? 有谁能告我…吗?

Do / Would you happen to know...? 请问你是否知道…?

I wonder if you could tell me...? 不知你能告我…吗?

I wonder if someone could tell me...? 不知有谁能告我…吗?

Martha:Ok, one more thing to ask you. I’d liketo know if there is a coffee shop.

好的,还有一个问题,我想知道这儿有没有咖啡厅。

George:There is one on the top floor. You canget a lot of exercise in this building!

在顶层有个咖啡厅,在这楼里呀,你可有很多锻炼机会呢。

Martha:Thanks a lot.

多谢。


注意:

在英语国家里,向陌生人询问信息或寻求帮助是很正常的。不过为了在问问题时听上去更有礼貌,人们在询问他人时往往会以 excuse me,sorry 或者是 sorry to bother you 这样的短语开头。
