第三部分：课程

1. POLITE WAYS TO ASK
SOMEONE TO DO
SOMETHING FOR YOU
有礼貌地请求别人为你做某件事情
May I have your name, please?
(Yes) Certainly.／O.K.
Would you sign here, please?
(Yes) Sure.
Would you mind signing here, please?
(No) Not at all./ Certainly./AII right.
Do you mind helping me?
(No) Not at all./ O.K.
注意：
Would you+verb（动词）是表示请求的一种套语格式。Would you mind+verb+ -ing 是另外一种格式，语气上显得特别有礼貌。
Do you mind+verb+-ing是比较普通的请求格式。
对would/do you mind…的回答通常是说No（见上），表示“並不介意”，实际上就是表示同意。
对上面列举的各种要求，一般总是同意的，因为提出这样请求的人总以为对方不会反对，否则就不提出请求了。
2．POLITE WAYS TO OFFER
TO HELP SOMEONE
有礼貌地表示愿意为别人服务
May I help you?
Are you right?
Can I give you a hand?（参看第8讲）
Would you like me to…？
在商店里可以听到这样的对话：
May I help you?
Yes，I'm looking for…/
No, thanks. I'm just having a look.
Are you right?
Well，I'm looking for…/
Yes, thanks. I'm just having a look.
3. TALKING TO FOREIGNERS
IN CHINA 在中国与外国人交谈
向外国旅游者常常可以问：
How long have you been in China?
回答可能是：
(I've been there) since July.
(I've been there) for a month.
问句How long have you been...用现在完成时。你一定还记得，这种时态用来把过去和现在作某种联系。
I came here a year ago and I'm still here.(1.I've been here for a year. 2.I've been here since last year.)
请记住：
Since 用来表明从过去的某个时间一直到说话的时刻。
For 用来表明一段时间。
