1
Let me (do something)
如果想禮貌些,但仍然表現得十分親密友好,那麼就可以說“let me...”
Let me sit you up so you'll be more comfortable.
讓我幫你坐起來,那樣你會更舒服。
- That's a good question. Let me find out for you.
這是個好問題。我來幫解答。
2
Do you want me to
/Do you want sth?
如果你對於對方接受幫助的意願十分沒有把握,那麼直接問吧。
Do you want me to sing it for you?
你要我為你而唱嗎?
在口語中,還可以省掉開頭的“do”,
- You want to meet up after class and go over it?
你想不想下課後碰一下,我幫你重新過一遍?
3
Would you like me to
/Would you like sth
和上一種表達類似,但更為正式些,可以對顧客使用,也可以是比較疏遠的人。
Would you like me to throw them away?
想我幫你扔了嗎?
4
I can (do something)
I can...也是一種禮貌的提供幫助的表達。比如商場裡的店員對顧客說,
I think I can fix this for you.
我想我可以幫你修好。
5
I'd be happy to
這也是正式用法,常用於商務場合和專業人士間。
- I'd be happy schedule a time to meet and talk with you about it.
我很樂意安排時間和你會面探討這個問題。
6
May I offer you(something)?
這是非常正式的提供幫助的表達方式,聽起來有些浮誇。
May I offer you some refreshment?
我給你來點吃的怎樣?
