在英语中,当我们对别人提出要求或疑问的时候,使用一般现在时未免语气有些过于直接。比如:“i want to ask you something.” —— 怎样让这句话听上去更客气些?
用法总结
1. 用过去时谈论现在的事,可以避免过于直接,听上去更礼貌。
i wanted to ask you if you'd make dinner.
i thought you'd go to the shops.
2. 用进行时代替一般时态,可以显得陈述的事件并非永久性的,从而减弱语气。
i'm thinking it'd be better if you went.
i'm hoping you'll do the work.
3. 结合上述两条,用过去进行时,可以进一步弱化语气,可在提出不太合理的要求时使用。
i was hoping you'd lend your car to me.
i was thinking about asking him to get the bill.
i was expecting to use your discount 1.
