双语脱口秀《老外来了》:如何让你的英语听起来更高级(中)
主播：Mia老师，Peter老师
歌曲：When You Believe
请别人帮忙做事时，在句子前面加by any chance，表示“有机会的话……”，很委婉，听起来你是一个如此有修养的人，classy! elegant!
比如：
• By any chance，could you help me to ask your sister to come down？
• Will you be going to the finance meeting tomorrow by any chance?
用please 要注意：
• 要把please放在句尾。不然放在句首，听起来会很不耐烦。
例如：
Could I have a glass of water，please? ✅
Please，could I have a glass of water? ❌
因为 please 放在句首会稍微带一点要求命令的语气。
常用英文写邮件的小伙伴注意啦：
书面语中，比如在给客户或老板写邮件时：
• 可以把please替换成could you…或may I…等疑问句，
• 或者换成……will be highly appreciated/ I'd appreciate it if……
试比较：
Please reply to me by today.
May I have your feedback by today？
Your earliest response would be highly appreciated.
当得到帮助或者反馈时，除了
Thank you: 谢谢你
还可以在道别时加一句：
• Have a nice day/evening！
• Enjoy the rest of your day!
