Alright let's get on with the class
好了,我們繼續上課吧
Ok so we've got this little word here which is favour
好了,我們已經得到了這個小詞在這裡 這是青睞。
so what does favour mean?
那麼,青睞是什麼意思?
well a favour is a kind or generous action that someone does for you
恩惠是別人為你做的善意或慷慨的行為
or you do for someone, it can also be reversed
或者你為別人做的事,也可以反過來說。
so when you ask someone for a favour, you're asking them to do something nice for you
所以當你要求別人幫忙的時候,你就會要求他們為你做一些好事
that's gonna benefit you
對你有好處
that's why it's important to understand how to ask for one in a nice and polite way
這就是為什麼要了解如何以一種很好的和有禮貌的方式要求一個重要的。
because you're asking them to do something for you
因為你要求他們為你做一些事情。
so you don't want to make them feel obliges and you don't want to offend them or annoy them
所以你不想讓他們覺得有義務,你也不想得罪他們,也不想讓他們惱火
so, there are five basic ways in which we can ask for a favour
所以,我們可以通過五種基本方式來請求幫助。
ok, so it's going to be a question so we need our question mark
好吧,所以這將是一個問題,所以我們需要我們的問號。
the first one, can I ask
第一個,請問
Can I ask a favour?
我可以請你幫忙嗎?
The next one, could you do me
下一個,你能不能幫我
Could you do me a favour?
你能幫我一個忙嗎?
The third, could you possibly do me
第三,你能不能幫我
Could you possibly do me a favour?
你能幫我一個忙嗎?
Number 4, could I ask you to do me
四號,我可以請你幫我嗎?
Could I ask you to do me a favour?
我可以請你幫我一個忙嗎?
I was wondering if I could ask you to do me
我想知道,如果我可以請你為我做的
I was wondering if I could ask you to do me a favour?
我想請你幫我一個忙?
Ok so we have these 5 questions that are all variations of asking someone to do you a favour
好了,我們有這5個問題,都是要求別人幫你的忙的變種。
Now maybe you want to be a bit more persuasive
現在也許你想更有說服力了
so you need to exaggerate the favour, you need to make it seem really really important
所以,你需要誇大的青睞, 你需要讓它看起來真的真的很重要
Well I've got three options for you in this case
在這種情況下,我有三個選擇給你。
So we're just going to use 'could you do me'
所以我們就用 "你能不能幫我
and a favour and we're going to add a word in the middle
和一個人情,我們要在中間加一個字。
We've got 'a really big'
我們已經得到了 "一個真正的大"。
Could you do me a really big favour?
你能幫我一個大忙嗎?
We've also got 'a massive'
我們還得到了 "一個巨大的
Could you do me a massive favour?
你能幫我一個大忙嗎?
And then finally we've got 'a huge'
最後我們有了 "一個巨大的
Could you do me a huge favour?
你能幫我一個大忙嗎?
So those are 3 ways of exaggerating the favour and making the person more obliged to do it for you
所以,這3種方式就是誇大恩惠,讓對方更有義務為你做主
Ok, so you've managed to persuade your friend to do the favour for you
好吧,所以你已經設法說服你的朋友為你做的忙。
Now what do you do?
現在你要做什麼?
Well you have to thank them! So..
好吧,你得感謝他們!所以...
Apart from a simple 'thank you so much' there are other ways in which you can thank them for doing a favour
除了簡單的 "非常感謝 "之外,你還可以用其他方式感謝他們的幫助。
My favourite one is "Ah! you're a lifesaver!'
我最喜歡的是 "啊!你是救命恩人!'。
you have saved my life!
你救了我的命!
you're a lifesaver!
你是一個救命恩人!
That's a really nice colloquial phrase to use
這是一個非常好的口語化用詞
Then, to show even more appreciation you could say that you owe them a favour now
然後,為了表示更多的感謝,你可以說你現在欠他們一個人情
You could say 'I really owe you one'
你可以說 "我真的欠你一個人情
or I owe you big time!
否則我欠你一個大人情!
Or perhaps you could offer them a reward like
或者你可以給他們一個獎勵,比如
I owe you a drink, or I'll buy you a drink next time we're out
我欠你一杯酒,要不下次我們出去我請你喝吧
Or maybe, if the favour is appropriate then you can offer to return the favour
或者說,如果這個人情合適的話,你可以提出還人情。
So you promise to do the same for them one day in the future
所以你答應我,將來有一天也要為他們做同樣的事。
Ok! Well that is the end of my video all about asking for a favour
好吧!好了,這是我的視頻的結束 所有關於要求一個人的青睞
I hope it helped you, and I hope you feel more comfortable the next time you have to ask for favours
希望對你有所幫助,也希望你在下次要請人幫忙的時候,能感覺到舒服一些
