Narrator: 欢迎回到我们的节目。这还是 Anna 在 Tip Top 贸易公司上班的第一个周，这家公司
是英国最大的水果模型批发商。 How is it going Anna?
Anna: Everything's still so new to me. I keep needing to ask people for help!
Narrator: Well, that's only natural['nætʃərəl] at the beginning.
注意在请别人帮忙时应该使用像 would 和 could 这样的礼貌用语;当然也要用
please。不过千万要注意你说话的语气和神态务必要谦虚和有诚意。
Anna: Er, ok.
Paul: Hello Anna!
Anna: Oh hi, Paul!
Paul: I was wondering if you could do something for me?
Anna: Yes of course.
Paul: Would you be able print out a file for me? It's a document on CBL –
Convincing[kən'vinsiŋ] Bananas Limited – they're one of our suppliers. The file should
be on the system and could I have it in the next ten minutes please, as
they're on their way here for a meeting?
Anna: Yes. Oh no, I've no idea how to find it! Tom...?!
Tom: Er, ask Denise. She should know.
Anna: Ok, thanks Tom, I'll ask her.
Denise: (on the phone to Sharon) I'd warned her, you know, I said 'Victoria, if you
don't change your hairdresser['hɛə.dresə]…'
Anna: Denise?
Denise: One day you'll. Hold on a moment. Anna?
Anna: Please email me the background file on CBL.
Denise: Er!
Anna: Thank you.
Denise: (on the phone) Who does that girl think she is?... Anna... new girl... I told
you about her... yes with the saucepans['sɔ:s'pæn], that's the one. She's only been
here five minutes and she's already acting like the Queen of Sheba...
Anna: Oh and Denise, please send it to me within five minutes, Paul needs it
soon. Thank you.
Denise: Well honestly['ɔnistli]!
Tom: He he, good to see who's the boss, eh Denise?
Denise: Really!
Narrator: Er, Anna, 我想你得罪Denise了? You've upset Denise!
Anna: Upset Denise?
Narrator: 你刚才在请 Denise 帮忙的时候不是很礼貌。 You were a bit rude Anna!
Anna: Was I?
Narrator: 别忘了我是怎么说的 – 请别人帮忙，仅仅说 please 是不够的，弄不好让人听起来反而
很不礼貌。
Anna: Oh.
Narrator: 与其说 please send me the file, 不如试着这么说 could you possibly send me
the file? 或者 would you mind sending me the file?
Anna: Oh! English is so confusing[kən'fju:ziŋ]! I'll try to remember that. Oh no, the printer
isn't even set up! Tom...?
Tom: Yeah?
Anna: Please help me with - I mean, could you possibly help me with the printer?
Tom: Er... I need to finish this email to a very important new client.
Anna: But it's really urgent['ə:dʒənt]. Would you mind writing your email later?
Tom: Okay, since you asked so nicely. Let's have a look...
Narrator: 还好。 Anna 及时理解了怎么用 could 和 would 这两个词来请别人帮忙。让我们再
来听听着使用这两个词的例句。
Paul: I was wondering if you could do something for me?
Paul: Would you be able print out a file for me?
Paul: Could I have it within ten minutes please?
Anna: Could you possibly help me with the printer?
Anna: Would you mind writing your email later?
Narrator: 打印机好像没问题了。不过Anna 和Denise 能和睦相处吗?该不会从今以后变成敌人
了吧?
Denise: Really! 'Denise do this! Denise do that!' I'm telling you Sharon, I've almost
had enough! I get treated like I'm some kind of servant['sə:vənt]!
