Please, thank you, and you're welcome是英语中最常见的三个短语,用please表示礼貌请求,用thank you或thanks表示感谢,用you're welcome作对别人感谢的礼貌回应。

但这些就是它们的全部用法吗?今天来看一看,它们在英语语境下到底该如何用。

Please

please用来表示请求:

please可用来使请求听起来更礼貌。

可以用在问题之后,前面用逗号隔开,即Polite Question + , + please + ?

Could you give me a hand, please?

请问您能帮我吗?

在询问中,please还可以用在动词前面。

Would you please help me with this?

您能帮我处理这件事吗?

Could you please explain the grammar again?

please用来肯定提供帮助:

please还可以用来确认会提供帮助,常用在yes, please.结构中。

Would you like to come with us? - Yes, please.

你回来帮助我们吗?

当然了。

please与指导:

通常,给出指导或方向时不会用please,尤其是像下文这样在指导中出现数字。

Open your book to page 40.

翻到第40页。

Read the introduction.

读一下说明。

但如果你想使指导或命令听起来更礼貌些,就可以用please。通常,这只能用在给出命令(或指示)时,而且只在口语中出现,位于句首或句末。

Please sit down.

请就座。

Pay attention please.

请注意。

Thank You

thank you 会用来回应别人的称赞。

I really enjoyed dinner. It was very tasty.

我很喜欢这顿晚餐,很美味。

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

谢谢,很高兴你喜欢。

用thank you来接受或拒绝请求:

回应别人的请求时,常以thank you回复,既可以表示接受,也可以表示拒绝。

Would you like something to drink?

你想要些喝的吗?

Thank you. I'd like a cola, please.

谢谢你,请给我可乐。

Do you want to join us at the concert tonight?

你今晚想跟我们一起去音乐会吗?

No thank you. I need to study!

不,谢谢你,我要学习。

thanks是thank you的非正式用法,用法基本一致。

You're Welcome

you're welcome是回应感谢最常见的表达,它来自德语单词willkommen,但是和德语中的用法却不一样。

除此之外,还有许多相似的表达。

正式场合会用到下面4个表达:

Don't mention it.

Not at all.

My pleasure.

I'm glad to have been of help.

非正式场合则常用:

No problem.

Sure.

Certainly.
