关键句型
需要记住和练习的重要短语

This is a very polite way to make a request to cut in line. It uses 'excuse me' for attention, 'sorry to bother' for apology, and 'I was wondering if... possibly' to soften the ask, making it suitable for urgent but polite situations like emergencies.
这是请求插队的一种非常礼貌的方式。它使用 'excuse me' 来吸引注意力,'sorry to bother' 来道歉,以及 'I was wondering if... possibly' 来缓和请求,使其适合紧急但礼貌的情况,如紧急事件。
Oh, sure. Is everything alright? Is there an emergency?
This shows a kind response allowing the request and asking for more details. 'Oh, sure' means yes casually, and 'is everything alright?' is a common empathetic question; use it when someone asks for a favor to show concern.
这显示了一个亲切的回应,允许该请求并询问更多细节。'Oh, sure' 表示随意地说“是”,'is everything alright?' 是一个常见的共情问题;当有人请求帮助时,使用它来表现出关心。
Yes, actually. My son is quite sick and I need to get him to the urgent care clinic immediately.
This explains the urgent reason briefly. 'Yes, actually' confirms politely, and 'immediately' emphasizes speed; it's useful for justifying a request in time-sensitive situations, with simple present tense for current needs.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your understanding. You've been a lifesaver.
This is a strong way to thank someone after help. 'Thank you so much' is emphatic gratitude, 'I appreciate' shows value for their kindness, and 'lifesaver' is idiomatic; ideal for ending polite interactions where someone helped in a pinch.
这是帮助后感谢某人的强烈方式。'Thank you so much' 是强调的感激,'I appreciate' 显示对他们善意的重视,'lifesaver' 是习语;适合在某人紧急时帮忙的礼貌互动结束时使用。
No problem at all. Just be careful and get him seen quickly.
This downplays the help given while offering advice. 'No problem at all' means it was easy to help, and 'get him seen' is a phrasal verb for receiving medical attention; use it to respond humbly and caringly in supportive situations.
这会淡化提供的帮助,同时提供建议。'No problem at all' 意味着帮助很容易,'get him seen' 是一个短语动词,表示接受医疗关注;在支持性情况下,使用它来谦虚而关怀地回应。
