关键句型
需要记住和练习的重要短语
Excuse me, I'm really sorry to bother you, but would you possibly be willing to swap seats?
This is a polite way to start a request. It uses 'excuse me' for attention, an apology to soften it, and 'would you be willing' as a conditional question to ask indirectly. Useful for making requests without seeming rude.
这是开始请求的一种礼貌方式。它使用“打扰了”来吸引注意力，用道歉来缓和语气，并用“您愿意”作为条件问题来间接询问。有助于在不显得粗鲁的情况下提出请求。
Oh, no problem at all. Which seat were you interested in?
A friendly response to agree easily. 'No problem at all' means it's not an issue, and the question uses past tense 'were' in a polite inquiry. Great for showing willingness to help in conversations.
一个友好的回应，容易同意。「一点问题都没有」表示没有问题，问题使用了过去时“were”来礼貌询问。在对话中展示帮助意愿很棒。
I was hoping to sit closer to my friend, who's in row 5, seat C.
This explains the reason politely using 'was hoping to' for a gentle wish. 'Closer to' shows preference for position. Useful for giving context in requests to make them more acceptable.
这用'was hoping to'礼貌地解释了原因，表示一种温和的愿望。'Closer to'展示了位置偏好。有助于在请求中提供上下文，使其更易被接受。
Ah, I see. So you'd like 12C, the window seat here?
'Ah, I see' shows understanding, and 'you'd like' is a contraction of 'you would like' for polite confirmation. This sentence repeats details to clarify. Helpful in confirming details during negotiations.
‘Ah, I see’表示理解，‘you’d like’是‘you would like’的缩写，用于礼貌确认。这句话重复细节以澄清。在谈判中确认细节很有帮助。
Yes, exactly! Would that work for you then?
'Exactly' confirms agreement strongly, and 'would that work for you' asks if it's convenient using a conditional for politeness. Ideal for following up on a proposal to check suitability.
“Exactly”强烈确认同意，而“would that work for you”使用条件式礼貌地询问是否方便。非常适合在跟进提案时检查适宜性。
Absolutely, that works perfectly. Go ahead.
'Absolutely' means completely yes, and 'go ahead' gives permission. This full agreement uses positive language. Use this to accept a request enthusiastically in similar situations.
