原来"I want"超级没礼貌!再简单不过的"I want", 其实非常没礼貌!为什么?该如何正确表达?
关键词:
"I want" 会给人这种感觉
"I want" makes you sound like a little kid: "I want"听起来像小孩儿说的
Rude: 没礼貌
Poor manner: 缺乏修养
别说"I want"
说"I'd like"
表达“我要”最恰当的说法:
I would like: 更正式
I'd like:缩略版,更口语
看看不同场景下具体怎么用吧!
Different expressions for different situations: 不同场景,不同表达
#1.Ordering: 点菜
点菜时,别再说"I want"了,用下面这些表达最恰当:
I would like/I'd like...
Could I have?/Can I have?
May I have?: 比较正式、非常礼貌,适合fine dining(高级餐厅)
比如:
I'd like a steak: 我想要一份牛排
I'd like it medium rare...: 要三成熟的
#2.点快餐可以用更简洁的说法?
怎么说?
I'll have +你要的东西
也可以直接说你要点的东西,但后面一定要加个"Please"
A +你要的东西+please
虽然很简洁,但这两种说法完全不会不礼貌, 总之,都比"I want"要好很多。
#3.Shopping
购物的时候,更多用问句表达你要买什么:
Do you have...?
I'm looking for...Do you have any?
I was wondering if you have...
即使你知道店里有你要的东西,问句形式也更恰当、地道。
例如:
I'm looking for a new phone. Do you have any? 我想买个新手机。你们有吗?
Do you have any lady's bags? 我想买包包,有吗?
原来I want超级没礼貌!
什么时候能用“I want”?
相比 I want + 名词,I want to + 动词、形容词更常用。
#1.What do you want to be?
你想成为什么?
I want to be successful and happy: 我想成功、快乐
I want to be + profession: 我想做+职业
#2.What do you want to do?
你想干什么?
这种情况,更好的说法还是?:
I'd like to + 动词:
I'd like to improve my English: 我想学英语
I'd like to start exercising: 我想开始运动
*“我想上厕所”*
别说"I want to go to the toilet", 更好的说法:
Nature calls: 婉转的上厕所说法
I need to use the washroom: 我要用一下洗手间
