今天，我們將為您帶來另一堂精彩的小學課程，一堂發生在辦公室的課程。

Yes.

是的。

Today, we're going to teach you some great phrases so that you can ask people to help you.

今天，我們就來教你幾句好話，讓你可以請求別人幫助你。

Right.

對

And I think this dialogue is with a new person at the office.

我認為這次對話是與辦公室裡的一個新人進行的。

So when you're new, you always need to ask people for favors.

所以，當你初出茅廬時，總是需要向別人求助。

Exactly.

沒錯。

Okay.

好的

Yeah.

是啊

So we're going to be asking for a favor.

所以我們要請你幫個忙。

So Marco, what exactly is a favor?

那麼馬可，到底什麼是 "幫忙 "呢？

Something that a person does for you.

一個人為你做的事情。

Like a small, helpful thing.

就像一件小小的、有益的事情。

Yeah.

是啊

A small, helpful thing.

小事一樁，大有裨益。

So, you know, like, can you pass me that pencil?

你能把鉛筆遞給我嗎？

Maybe that's even a favor.

也許這也算是一種幫助。

Yeah.

是啊

Or maybe, can you pick me up on your way to work?

或者，你能在上班的路上來接我嗎？

Yeah.

是啊

That's a favor.

這是幫我的忙。

Or even lending money to your friend.

甚至借錢給你的朋友。

That's a favor.

這是幫我的忙。

Yeah.

是啊

So that's what we're going to be talking about.

這就是我們要討論的問題。

Favors and how to ask for one.

人情以及如何請求人情。

Because you always have to do this at work.

因為你在工作中總是要這樣做。

At work, with your friends, with your family.

So let's listen to the dialogue and then we'll come back and explain all the vocabulary.
