需要请求别人帮助是经常会碰到的事,所以学习外语时这也是更要的一课。求助时要方式得当,语气委婉,别人才会乐意帮忙。

能帮个忙吗?

您能帮我个忙吗?
3. I wonder if you could help me.
不知您是否能帮我一下?

►注释
“give somebody a hand”直译为“向…伸把手”,指提供帮助。注意区别于“give one's hand to somebody”(意为答应与某人结婚)。当然在生活中,本句可简略为“Can you help me?”
“Would you please do something?”是英文中提出建议请求常用的一种方式,语气比较委婉.可用于正式场合。当然,例句3和4相比起来,要更加委婉一些。
