Hi, my name is Rebecca, and in today's lesson I am going to show you four different ways

嗨 我是Rebecca 今天的課程我要演示四個方法.

情態助動詞 A2

in which you can offer help in a polite way to someone and also how you can accept or

你可以禮貌地提供幫助給別人 以及如何接受

祈使句型

refuse that help, in a gracious manner, okay?

或是拒絕那個幫忙──以優雅的禮節── 好嗎？

So let's look at the board. This can help you in a personal situation and also at work in a professional situation,

我們現在看一下白板 這可以在私人的情境或是工作中的專業情境提供幫助

so let's have a look. Okay, so there are different ways

所以我們來看一下吧 好的 所以有非常多的方式

in which we can offer help, some are more formal and some are more informal.

我們可以提提供幫忙 有些是正式的有些是非正式的

The first two I am going to talk about are more formal and the next two are informal.

我首先要講的兩個比較正式 後面兩個比較不正式

In a formal situation or in any situation where you want to be more business-like or

在任何正式的情況 或是你想表現得比較商業

more professional you could say, "Would you like me to," for example, "open the window?"

或是專業的情況 你可以說 你希望我──舉例來說──幫你打開窗戶嗎？

"Would you like me to open the window?" or "Would you like me to get you some water?"

「你希望我幫你打開窗戶嗎？」 或是 「你希望我去裝點水嗎？」

or you can use this expression as well -- very polite: "Shall I shut the door?"

或是你也可以用這個詞句 非常有禮貌 「我是否該關門？」

"Shall I switch off the television?" Okay, well, that's probably going to be more at home.

「我是否該關掉電視？」 好吧 這個情境可能比較容易在家出現

So let's say it was an informal situation. You could say, "Let me switch off the TV",

所以假如在非正式的情境 你可以說 「讓我電視關了吧！」

or just "I'll get the door for you." "Let me help you with those bags." Okay?

或是就說「我幫你開門」 「我幫你提那些袋子」 可以吧

So again, depending upon who you are talking to and in what context, you are going to use

再次強調 隨著你說話對象、情境不同 你會需要用到

something more formal or something more informal, okay? And any of these will work very well.

一些比較正式 或是一些比較非正式的用語 可以嗎？ 你所看到的這些都相當適用

Now how do you accept or decline -- which is to say "no" to that help?

現在你又該如何接受或是拒絕──也就是對他人的援手說「不」

Well, in a formal way you could say "Thank you very much."

正式的說法 你可以說「非常感謝你」

So if someone says, "Would you like me to get you some water?" You could say "Yes, thank you very much."

所以假如有人說：「需要我幫你倒些水嗎？」 你可以說：「好的 真的非常感謝」

If someone says "Shall I open the window?" You could say, "Thank you."

假如有人說：「我是否該幫你開窗？」 你可以說：「好的 謝謝」

If someone says, "I'll get the door for you." You might just say, "Thanks." Okay?

假如有人說：「我去開門」 你或許就直接說：「謝啦」 可以嗎？

So again, the level of response, it matches the level of the question, right? The level of the offer,

再次地 回應的程度會與問題的程度匹配 對吧？ 提供幫助的程度

if it's more formal then you're going to respond more formally.

假如越正式 你的回應也會越正式

If it's more informal you will respond informally, all right?

如果越不正式 你的回答也會越不正式 可以嗎？

You can also be very, very polite and if someone says, "Would you like me to get you some water?".

你也可以表現地極度禮貌 當別人說：「需要我幫你倒些水嗎？」

"Thank you very much. That's very kind of you."

Okay? So you could go on and be even more polite.

好嗎？ 所以你可以在表現得更加禮貌

Now let's say you don't need any help. So if someone says, "Let me switch off the TV."

現在假如說你不需要幫忙 所以假如有人說：「我來把電視關掉」

You can say, "No, thanks." Okay? Or if someone says, "I'll help you with those bags." "No thanks. I'm good."

你可說 「不了 謝啦」 好嗎？ 或是假如有人說 ：「讓我幫你拿那些袋子」 「不了 我可以」

Okay, "I'm good" is kind of slang, because normally we don't say "I'm good," but it's

好 「我還可以」有點俚語 因為一般來說我們不會說「我還可以」 不過它

used a lot, especially in North America, and it means "I'm fine, thanks. I don't need anything."

很常被使用 尤其在北美洲 它的意思是「我很好 謝謝 我不需要任何幫忙」

Or you could say if someone says "Would you like me to get you some water?"

或是你可以說 當有人說 ：「需要我幫忙到些水嗎？」

You could say, "No, thank you. I'm fine." Or "Shall I help you with those suitcases?"

你可以說 「不用了謝謝 我還好」 或是 「需要我幫你提行李嗎？」

「不用了謝謝 我應付得來」 可以嗎？

So something like that... Again, depending on the situation, you could always just say,

或是像...... 再次地 依據情境 你永遠可以說

"Thank you" here, and "No, thank you" here, all right?

在這裡的「謝謝」 以及這裡的「不了謝謝」 可以嗎？

If you'd like to do a quiz on this subject, just to get a little more practice into how
