Unit 5 Asking for Help
請(qǐng)求幫助
Part Ⅰ Practical Background Information 實(shí)戰(zhàn)背景信息
人類社會(huì)是個(gè)大家庭，一個(gè)人的力量畢竟有限，尤其是當(dāng)人類社會(huì)進(jìn)入信息時(shí)代后，個(gè)人主義已不再時(shí)興了。在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中，我們每個(gè)人都需要?jiǎng)e人的幫助。如何得到他人的幫助，恰到好處地表達(dá)語(yǔ)言是關(guān)鍵。不論是漢語(yǔ)或是英語(yǔ)，在請(qǐng)求幫助的表達(dá)上是大同小異的，都有委婉和直接的表達(dá)方式。重要的是在什么樣的場(chǎng)合，針對(duì)什么樣的對(duì)象，用什么樣的語(yǔ)氣表達(dá)請(qǐng)求。
一般地說(shuō)，語(yǔ)氣委婉就顯得客氣和禮貌。有時(shí)過(guò)于直接會(huì)被視為粗魯。然而，過(guò)于委婉的請(qǐng)求又會(huì)讓人聽(tīng)了覺(jué)得發(fā)膩。所以在表達(dá)請(qǐng)求時(shí)，可以考慮以下幾種情況：(1)言者與聽(tīng)者間的關(guān)系。直截了當(dāng)?shù)恼?qǐng)求常用在很親近的朋友或上級(jí)對(duì)下級(jí)的情形中。(2)求助的事對(duì)于請(qǐng)求一方的重要程度。一般地說(shuō)，如果此事對(duì)求助者很重要，他常用較委婉的表達(dá)方式。(3)求助的事對(duì)于提供幫助的人的不方便程度。通常是越不方便越應(yīng)該使用委婉表達(dá)。
以下便是部分由直接到委婉的求助表達(dá)方式：
1) Lend me some money(please)．
2) (Please) Will you lend me some money?
3) Could you lend me some money (please)?
4) Would you mind lending me some money?
5) Do you think you could possibly lend me some money?
6) I was wondering if you could possible lend me some money?
7) I hope you don’t mind my asking，but I wonder if it might be at all possible for you to lend me some money．
