If not, discuss why not.How can we try not to offend people when making requests?Is language etiquette as important as learning grammar or vocabulary? Why? Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. Could you please lend me your pen?Section 2 While You Read 询问信息或者请求帮助是一个很常见也比不可少的社会活动,尤其在我们国家参观旅游时。因此懂得如何礼貌的获取信息就很重要。 In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests-both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. Its important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough-we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.在英语中，在英语中， “Where are the restrooms?” 和“Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?”是相同的请求。都是正确的英语表达，但是，第一句话听起来有点粗鲁，语言正确的运用是很重要的，但有时仅仅正确是不够的，我们需要学习如何礼貌地做出请求。alone :单独的,独立的correct:正确的,与right可以通用 In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “ Where is my book?” this will sound rude. 就像在汉语里一样，在英语里和不同的人物交谈，我们需要变换方式，在交谈时，你可能根据正在交谈的对象和你们之间的熟悉程度使用不同的表达方式。如：你问你的老师：“ Where is my book?” ，那可能很不礼貌。But if you say, “ Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know where my book is?” your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say “Where is my book?” in some situations, perhaps with people you know well. 但是，如果你对老师说： “ Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” ，这样你的问题听起来就会礼貌得多。另一方面，有些情况下说 “Where is my book?”，也许就可以,比如你对很熟悉的人说。 And you would not usually say, “ Peter,lend me your pen.” a very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra language such as “Could you please.?” or “Can I ask?” It sounds more polite to say, “ Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” 及物动词及物动词, 意思是意思是“包括包括,算在内算在内”,一一般接名词或者是动词的般接名词或者是动词的-ing形式作宾形式作宾语语. 通常你也不会说：“ Peter, lend me your pen.” 这样一个直接的命令句在英语中听起来很粗鲁。通常在英语里，礼貌的问句比较长，而且包含一些附加语，像： “Could you please.?” 或者 “Can I ask?”, 你说“ Peter,could you please lend me your pen?” 听起来确实礼貌得多。Sometimes, we might even need to spend some time leading into a question or request. For example, if you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, “ Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “Im sorry to trouble you but,” before asking them for help. 我们有时甚至需要花费一段时间引出一个问题我们有时甚至需要花费一段时间引出一个问题或者一个请求或者一个请求。例如：在大街上拦住一个陌生人，例如：在大街上拦住一个陌生人，我们首先可能会说：我们首先可能会说： “ Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me.” 或者 “Im sorry to trouble you but” need 这里是实义动词这里是实义动词, 需要需要.一般跟一般跟名词或不定式作宾语名词或不定式作宾语. It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. However, in order not to offend people, learning about language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.礼貌的说话看起来似乎比直接说出来难得多，而且，在某种情况下也确实如此。然而，为了不冒犯别人，学习语言表达方面的礼仪也跟学习语法和词汇一样重要。而且这样做也能帮助你更好的学好英语，或其他任何你想学的语言。RequestSuitable situationMore politerequest1. “Where are the restrooms”A team player asking another team player.“Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?”2. “I want to go to the library.
