   别把“Please”用成命令


  Please sit down. 这句话并不礼貌也不常用。
  因为please 放在前面就会像命令。
  It sounds like an order 1
  “请坐”应该怎么说?
  “请坐”的正确说法既没有sit,也没有please。正确说法是:
  Take a seat 2.
  Have a seat.
  如果你一定要加please,最好加在后面:
  Take a seat please.
  Have a seat please.
  英语中另有一个用法,语用相同但和“坐”没什么关系:
  Make yourself 3 at home: 就当在自己家一样
  “请坐”还有一种说法:
  Please be seated 4: 请坐
  It's used 5 in events 6: 用来某个活动上
  但注意这一般用在某个活动、集会上,比如主持人、校长发言完毕后会请大家坐下。
  “请问”应该怎么说?
  肯定不是please ask,具体怎么说要看情况:
  1. Asking personal 7 information 8:
  问个人信息、情况
  May I ask…?
  2. Asking for directions 9:
  问路
  Excuse me, do you know how to get to…不好意思,去……怎么走?
  Excuse me, could 10 you tell me how to get to...不好意思,你能告诉我怎么去……?
  3. Asking teachers
  问老师:
  Ms./Mr. XXX, May I please…(go to the bathroom)? XX老师,我可以……?
  Ms./Mr. XXX, how do I...? XX老师,……怎么做?
  注意:别叫老师“teacher”,要用Ms./Mr.
  4. Asking hosts/someone else
  问主播(或者别人)问题
  Dear hosts…亲爱的主播……
  Dear Jenny...亲爱的Jenny……
  这个时候可以用dear打头,很礼貌也很亲切
  其它情况的“请”要怎么说?
  很多中文用“请”的情况其实都没有please
  1. 请让一下:
  Excuse me, could I get by? 不好意思,借过
  2. 请 (吃):
  Dig in: 吃吃
  Go ahead: 开动吧
