“提建議”,有比較正式的說法,有比較日??谡Z的說法,本文著重介紹一下口語說法。

1. What about.../ How about...? (去……怎么樣?)

例:

How about playing basketball? (去打籃球怎么樣?)

?

2. What do you say... (……如何/怎么樣?)

例:

(1)How about going to Europe this summer? What do you say?

??? (今年夏天去歐洲,你看怎么樣?)

2What do you say we split the two sandwiches?(這兩個(gè)三明治我們一人吃一個(gè)怎么樣?)

3)美劇《老友記》S02E02

情境:Joey想約一個(gè)MM喝咖啡。

Joey: Listen, uh, what do you say I buy you that cup of coffee now? (我現(xiàn)在去給你買那杯咖啡怎么樣?

?

3. If I were you, I would...: used when giving advice and telling someone what you think they should do (如果我是你,我會……)

注意:這里要用虛擬語氣

例:

If I were you, I'd sell the car.(如果我是你,我就賣了那輛車。)

補(bǔ)充:跟這個(gè)句子很像的,還有一句“If it were me, I'd...”( 如果換作是我,我會……)

例:《老友記》S02E07

情境:Monica督促Chandler減肥,太嚴(yán)苛了,Chandler最后煩死,不干了!他想了個(gè)辦法刺激Monica,她彼時(shí)正遭受失業(yè)、失戀的雙重打擊。Chandler說:這要發(fā)生在我身上,我每天就只想睡覺了。最后Monica真被他哄得小睡了一會,不再逼他減肥了。從這個(gè)意義上說,這句也是表示建議的,“你何不像我一樣,睡一會?”

Chandler: I mean, if it were me, I think I'd have difficulty just getting out of bed at all.

?

4. I was wondering if/whether...: used to ask someone if they would like to do something表示“邀約”

例:

1We were wondering if you'd like to come with us.(你們想跟我們一起去嗎?)

2I was wondering if you'd like to come to dinner.(你們來我家吃飯,好嗎?)

3)《老友記》S02E02

情境:Joey第一次約那個(gè)MM下班后喝咖啡。

JoeyI was wondering if maybe after work you and I could go out grab a cup of coffee.grab:表示“快快地吃、喝,不占用多少時(shí)間的”。)

?

備注:''I was wondering if...''除了表示“邀約”,還可以表示''politely ask sb to help you''(禮貌性地請求幫助)

例:

1I was wondering if you could babysit tomorrow night.(不知你明天晚上能幫忙帶孩子嗎?)

2)《老友記》S02E02

情境:Rachel在咖啡店做侍應(yīng),感恩節(jié)到了,她想向老板預(yù)支$100工資,好跟家人一起去度假??纯此趺凑f。

Rachel: I know that I haven't worked here very long, but I was wondering, do you think it would be possible if I got a $100 advance on my salary?

?

5. What if: 怎么樣

例:

What if we move(d) the sofa over here? Would that look better? (我們把沙發(fā)移到這兒怎么樣?比剛才好點(diǎn)嗎?)

備注:what if除了表示建議外,還可以用來詢問“怎么辦”:

What if the plan of yours fails, what then? (你計(jì)劃失敗的話要怎么辦?)

?

6. 討論約定的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)或東西的數(shù)量等等,口語中可以用一個(gè)簡單的say

例:

Can you come to dinner? Say, 7:00? (你能來吃飯嗎?7:00怎么樣?)

If we put out, say, twenty chairs, would that be enough? (搬……20張椅子出來,夠嗎?)
