要点语句轻松学

听我说,咱们如今玩游戏吧。
句型 “let's..., shall we?” 也是用于提出主张。如果要颇有礼貌地主张或人做某事,便可以用这个语句。两句可放在一块儿使用。请看下面的比方:

文明小贴士
英语和汉语中都有暗示“谢谢感动,感谢”“请”的固定说法,表达办法非常接近,根基上不会构成大的误解。英语里只需恳求别人辅佐,不管是家人、好朋友、仍是目生人,不管大事小事,都要说“Thank you.”“Please.”
在就事作业,为外国旅客供给办过后,他们会说“Thank you.”,那若何答复呢?稳当的答复可所以“You're welcome.” 或 “it's my pleasure.” 或 “I'm glad to be of help.”,标明出很甘心容许为别人效能的情绪。
陪外宾查询,一同上有可以要请外宾前辈旅馆、前辈房间、先上电梯、先上车,那用英语该怎样说呢?契合的说法是“After you.”,而不用“Please.”
假定一名美国人请你和朋友在一家饭馆用饭,饭后大师彼此道别,美国人对你说“Thank you for coming.”,你若何答复呢?
A. You're welcome.
B. Well, thank you. It was very kind of you to invite me.
C. It's a pleasure.
D. Give no verbal response, just smile.
E. Well, I really enjoyed the meal. Thank you for asking me.
F. I hope you will be able to come to my home for dinner one day.
