Question

【題目】Being polite is very important.(1) If you are polite to others, they will be polite to you.

In English there are many words to show your politeness; the use of “sir” and “madam” is not an important one. These words are used far more rarely than we think. In Britain, it is unusual for someone in the street to say “Excuse me, sir.(2) Can you tell me the way to the station?” The people who use the word “sir” in this way are usually expecting some money for a service—a taxi or a waiter. For example, “That will be $12,sir.Thank you!”

The word “please” is used everywhere in Britain.(3) Many visitors don’t know when to use “please”. When they go into a cafe they say “A coffee.” or “I want a coffee.” or even “Can I have a coffee?”(That might be really alright in their own languages).However,(4) it seems that they are impolite! Just adding a simple “please” would make it better —“A coffee ,please.” or “I would like a coffee, please.” It is better and safer to always use “please”!

Let’s look at polite ways of asking questions. Instead of a direct question we often use “Can you” and “Could you” before we say what we want .Look at these examples, which are from a normal conversation at home between husband and wife: “Can you park your car over there, please?” “Could you move the table against the wall, please?”

“Could...?” is a little more polite than “Can...?”,but both questions contain the word “please”.

If you are not a native English speaker ,then to use “Can...?” and “Could...?”to express a request is wise. In fact, you can be even more polite: “Sorry, could you tell me the way to Oxford Street, please?” “Sorry, could you tell me your name again, please?” (5) it’s, with, the, word, request, very, common, to, start, a, “sorry”.

If you ask for help, try “I’m sorry to bother you, but could you help me, please?” You might say to a friend “Hey John, lend me $100,will you?” But you couldn’t say this to somebody you do not know well.

【解析】

本文介紹了英國人是如何使用禮貌用語的。

【1】分析題干可知本句為if引導(dǎo)的條件句，if意為“如果”，be polite to為固定短語“對…有禮貌”，此處others泛指其他的人，故答案為：如果你對別人有禮貌，別人也會對你有禮貌。

【2】原句句意：你能告訴我去車站的路嗎？本句要求改為含有賓語從句的復(fù)合句，其結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)為“主句+引導(dǎo)詞+從句”，賓語從句應(yīng)使用陳述語序，結(jié)合語境可知引導(dǎo)詞應(yīng)選how，故答案為Can you tell me how I can get to the station?

【3】原句句意：很多游客不知道什么時候使用“請”。原句中when to use為符合機構(gòu)作動詞know的賓語，根據(jù)“改為符復(fù)合句”的要求，故應(yīng)該為賓語從句，其結(jié)構(gòu)為“主句+引導(dǎo)詞+從句”，引導(dǎo)詞應(yīng)使用when，賓語從句應(yīng)使用陳述語序，故答案為：Many visitors don’t know when they should use “please”.

【4】原句句意：似乎他們是有禮貌的！原句使用固定句式：It seems that…“似乎…”，本句要求改為簡單句，故應(yīng)使用It seems that…的同義短語seem (to be)+adj，故答案應(yīng)為：they seem (to be) polite.

【5】所給詞with為介詞“使用、隨著”，word為名詞“單詞”；request為名詞或動詞“要求、請求”；common為形容詞“共同的、普遍的”；start為動詞“開始”；sorry為常用口語表達“對不起”。分析所給詞可知本句中包含It is+adj.+(for sb.) to do的句式，意為“做某事(對…來說)是…的”，故答案為It’s very common to start a request with the word “sorry”. 句意為“以“對不起”開始一個請求是非常普遍的�！�
