II. Key Points 重点提示
- Excuse me. 对不起
excuse [ɪkˈskjus; ɪkˈskjuz] vt. 原谅
"Excuse me."是说话者用来表示要打扰对方的客气用语。而" I'm sorry."亦译成“对不起”或“抱歉”,但" I'm sorry."是说话者用来表示帮不上忙或未达到对方期望时的用语。
例: A: Excuse me. Could you show me the way to the station?
B: I'm sorry. I'm new here.
(甲:对不起。你能否告诉我车站怎么个走法?)
(乙:抱歉。我刚到这儿来,路不熟。) - Could you pass me the sugar, please?
=Could you pass the sugar to me, please?
(请你把糖递给我好吗?)
pass [pæs] vt.传递
sugar ['ʃʊgɚ] n.砂糖
注意:
本问句亦可说成:
Can you pass me the sugar, please?
但"Can you...?"有“你能不能······?”的意味,而“Could you...?”则有“您可否······?”的意味,故用Could形成的问句显然语气要客气得多。 - Don't mention it. 别客气。
=You're welcome.
=Sure thing.
mention ['mɛnʃən] vt.提及
