一个人的力量总是有限的
生活里难免要麻烦别人帮忙一下
请人帮忙怎么说？
“Can you help me”？
千万别这么说
这样的说法是很不礼貌的！
①
Could / Would you do me a favor?
could这个词常常用于询问和请求，听起来比简单粗暴的“can”有礼貌得多，而“Would you do me a favor?” 是更加正式的表达。
这两种问句用于话题开始询问他人是否愿意提供帮助。
do me a favor是个很常用的短语，要记住它。
例:
Could you do me a favor in the kitchen?
你能帮我到厨房做点事吗？
②
Could you possibly...
例:
Could you possibly tell me what the homework assignment is?
你能不能告诉我有什么作业?
Could you possibly take care of my pet cat while I'm away?
我不在时，你能不能照看一下我的宠物猫呢？
③
Would you mind...
例:
Would you mind picking them up?
你介意把他们捡起来吗？
Would you mind turning down the music?
你介意把音乐关小一点吗？
④
Could I trouble you to...
例:
Could I trouble you to buy one for me?
我麻烦你为我买一个？
I wonder if I could trouble you to change a $50 note.
我不知道能否麻烦你换50美元的零钱。
⑤
Could you give me a hand?
相比于前面几句，这句话更随意，更适合对熟人说。
give me a hand，直译是“给我一只手”，那就是在你忙得不可开交的时候，请求别人助你一臂之力。
例:
Could you give me a hand with this suitcase? I can't get it closed.
你能帮帮我的忙吗？我的箱子关不上了。
No problem.
Sure.
My pleasure.
我的荣幸。
我很乐意帮助你。
