实用英语：如何提出帮助及回应别人的帮助

已不是新移民

日常生活中，人们互相帮忙，小到摔倒了扶你一把，大到为你做额外的事情，你来我往，营造一个友好的环境。你仔细练习，观察，使用，很快就可以掌握这些小技巧，让人觉得你热心，礼貌。  

提出帮助  

"Can I help you?" 要帮忙吗？  
"Shall I open the window for you?" 你想我把窗子打开吗？
"Would you like another coffee?" 你想多喝一杯咖啡吗？
"Would you like me to answer the phone?" 你想我接电话吗？
"I'll do the photocopying, if you like." 如果你喜欢的话我可以去复印文件。
Shall, can 和  will are 直接跟动词不带 to 。  Shall 比 can 更加正规。
Would you like... 后面跟名词或者 to + 动词。

回应别人提出的帮助

"Can I help you?" 要帮忙吗？
"Yes please. I'd like to know what time the train leaves." 是的，我想知道火车什么时候开。

商店里：

"Can I help you?" 要帮忙吗？
"No thanks, I'm just looking." 哦，不用了谢谢。我随便看看。
"Shall I open the window for you?" 你想我把窗子打开吗？  
"Yes please. That would be very kind of you." 是的，你真好心。
"Would you like another coffee?" 你想多喝一杯咖啡吗？
"No thanks." Or, "No thank you." 谢谢不用了。
"Would you like another coffee?" 你想多喝一杯咖啡吗？
"Yes please, that would be lovely." Or, "Yes please, I'd love one." 是啊，那就好极了。  
"Would you like me to answer the phone?" 你想我接电话吗？
"If you wouldn't mind." Or, "If you could." 如果你不介意的话。  
( 注意这里不要回答说  "Yes, I would", 因为这样听起来好象你就指望着别人替你做这件事。 )
"I'll do the photocopying, if you like." 如果你喜欢的话我可以去复印文件。  
"It's OK, I can do it." Or, "Don't worry, I'll do it." 哦没问题，我自己来。
Or, "Thank you, that would be great." 多谢啦，这样太好了
