Notes:
"请求"注意事项
在提出请求时,除了必要的礼貌外,还需注意两点:
(1)大胆。
大胆就是敢于提出自己的请求,特别是那些初到英美的中国学子,不要过分顾虑自己的`语言能力。绝大多数外国人只要听懂你的意思,并不会注意你是否用错时态,混淆名词的单复数,或某几个音发不准。
(2)坦率。
坦率就是直截了当地提出自己的要求,不要绕圈子。英美人一般比较坦率,能帮忙的,会马上答应。如果爱莫能助,也会当场说明理由,加以拒绝:I think I'll be able to help you, but...

Hunter: Hi, King. What can I do for you? 你好,金。有什么事吗?
King: I'd like to talk to you about my vacation. 我想同你谈谈我的假期。
Hunter: You're lucky, King. I'm just going to draw up the holiday rotation this year. So, go ahead and tell me what you want. 你真幸运,金。我刚准备制订今年的假期轮值表。所以,说吧,告诉我你有什么要求。
King: Well, I'm planning to have three weeks' leave in January and I want to use my vacation days for this year. 是这样,我正计划在一月份休假三个星期,而且我想用我今年的休假日。
Hunter: Going abroad, I suppose? 准备出国,是不是?
King: Yes, I want to go to see my parents in China. 是的,我想去探望在中国的父母。
Hunter: Good idea. But it so happened that Donald wanted to get away in January too. And you can't be away at the same time as Donald. 好主意。不过碰巧唐纳德也想一月份休假,而你不能跟唐纳德同时休假。
King: Why can't we both go when we want? 为什么我们不能想去休假的时候都去呢?
Hunter: Because there must be someone to keep the work going. 因为总得有人把工作进行下去。
King: I see. So when I'm away, Donald has to stand in for me. 我明白了。这么说当我休假时唐纳德得替代我?
Hunter: Yes, and vice versa. 是的,而且反过来也是。
King: Well. You know, I have a good reason for chossing January. 这个,你知道,我挑选一月份是有原因的。
Hunter: What's that? 什么原因?
King: Because we celebrate the Spring Festival in January this year, and it's our tradition to have a family reunion then. 因为今年我们在一月份庆祝春节,而且春节期间合家团圆是我们的传统。
