同学们,当你遇到麻烦事的时候你该怎么办呢?你是否向别人征求过意见?同样,当别人遇到困难的时候,你是否给他们提过建议呢?下面就学几招如何提建议及其答语吧!
一、情态动词should与could的用法
1. should的用法
should为情态动词,表示劝告、建议,意为“应当,应该”,它和其他情态动词一样,没有人称和数的变化,后接动词原形,“should+动词原形”表示“应该/应当做某事”。其否定形式为“shouldn't+动词原形”,表示“不应该/不应当做某事”。
You shouldn't argue with your parents. 你不应该和你父母争吵。
Maybe she should say sorry to you. 也许她应该跟你说对不起。
2. could的用法
could既是can的过去式,意为“可以/可能”,表示过去的能力,又可以作情态动词表示谨慎、客气的建议,后接动词原形。“could+动词原形”表示“可以做某事”,其否定形式为“couldn't+动词原形”,表示“不可以做某事”。
You could go out and buy her some medicine. 你可以出去给她买些药。
You could be more careful. 你可以更仔细些。
二、知识迁移
提建议的其他表达方式:
1. 用Why not...? 提出建议,表示“何不……?”,not后接动词原形。Why not...?实际上是Why don't we / you...?的简略形式。
Why not meet at the school gate at eight? 何不8点在校门口见面?
Why don't we stay here another day? 我们为什么不在这儿再待一天呢?
2. 用“Would / Could you please...?”来提出建议或请求。此句式中的would / could并非是动词过去式,而是表示说话者的语气较为委婉。
Could you please tell me how to get to the post office? 请你告诉我怎么才能到邮局好嗎?
Would you please go hiking with me? 和我一起去远足好吗?
3. 可以用“Will you...?”表示委婉地提出建议或请求。
Will you go to Jinan with us? 你和我们一起去济南好吗?
4. shall用于第一人称疑问句,表示征求对方意见。
Shall we go swimming this afternoon? 今天下午我们去游泳好吗?
Shall I open the window and close the door? 我把窗户打开,把门关上好吗?
5. 可以用“Let's...”来提出建议或征求对方意见。
Let's make it a little earlier, OK? 我们把时间定早一点好吗?
6. 用“What about / How about...?”提出建议,about是介词,后面要接名词或动名词。
What about writing back to him about it? 要不要就这事给他回一封信?
How about going for a walk? 去散散步怎么样?
7. 用“Would you like...?”来提出建议,意思是“你想要……吗?”,would you like后可接名词或动词不定式。
Would you like a cup of tea? 你想要杯茶吗?
回答建议的表达方式
1. 同意对方的建议时,一般用:Good idea. / That's a good idea. / OK. / All right. / Yes, please. / Yes, I'd love to. / No problem. / I agree with you. / Sure. / Of course. / Certainly. / Yes, I think so.
2. 对对方的建议表示拒绝时,一般用:I don't think so. / Sorry, I can't. / Sorry, but... / I'd love / like to, but... / I'm afraid...
