“Would you mind...?”可是你英语交流中百试不爽的秘密武器,这个问句适用于许多场合。比如说你在图书馆或者教室里看书的时候,有人发出很大的声音,你就可以说:“Would you mind making less noise?”
实用对话:
-Tracy: Did you know that Daniel got full marks in the math exam?
特蕾西:你知道丹尼尔这次数学考试得了满分吗?
-Sandy: Would you mind making less noise?The othersare reading books
桑迪:能不能小点声?其他同学在看书呢?
-Tracy:I am really sorry!I will be careful next time.
特蕾西:很抱歉,下一次我会注意的。
类似的对对方的所作所为提出建议的句型还有
Would you please(not) do sth.?
Could you please do me a favour to do/not to do sth.?
