美国文化脱口秀 第448期:原来I want超级没礼貌!(在线收听

   原来"I want"超级没礼貌!再简单不过的"I want", 其实非常没礼貌!为什么?该如何正确表达?

  关键词:
  "I want" 会给人这种感觉
  "I want" makes you sound like a little kid: "I want"听起来像小孩儿说的
  A bratty little kid: 特别是任性、脾气坏的小孩
  Brat: 同上,名词
  Rude: 没礼貌
  Poor manner: 缺乏修养
  别说"I want"
  说"I'd like"
  表达“我要”最恰当的说法:
  I would like: 更正式
  I'd like:缩略版,更口语
  看看不同场景下具体怎么用吧!
  Different expressions for different situations: 不同场景,不同表达
  #1.Ordering: 点菜
  点菜时,别再说"I want"了,用下面这些表达最恰当:
  I would like/I'd like...
  Could I have?/Can I have?
  May I have?: 比较正式、非常礼貌,适合fine dining(高级餐厅)
  比如:
  I'd like a steak: 我想要一份牛排
  I'd like it medium rare...: 要三成熟的
  #2.点快餐可以用更简洁的说法?
  Use simple expressions in fast food joints: 快餐餐厅适合用更简洁的表达方式
  怎么说?
  I'll have +你要的东西
  也可以直接说你要点的东西,但后面一定要加个"Please"
  A +你要的东西+please
  虽然很简洁,但这两种说法完全不会不礼貌, 总之,都比"I want"要好很多。
  #3.Shopping
  购物的时候,更多用问句表达你要买什么:
  Do you have...?
  I'm looking for...Do you have any?
  I was wondering if you have...
  即使你知道店里有你要的东西,问句形式也更恰当、地道。
  例如:
  I'm looking for a new phone. Do you have any? 我想买个新手机。你们有吗?
  Do you have any lady's bags? 我想买包包,有吗?
  原来I want超级没礼貌!
  什么时候能用“I want”?
  相比 I want + 名词,I want to + 动词、形容词更常用。
  #1.What do you want to be?
  你想成为什么?
  I want to be successful and happy: 我想成功、快乐
  I want to be + profession: 我想做+职业
  #2.What do you want to do?
  你想干什么?
  这种情况,更好的说法还是?:
  I'd like to + 动词:
  I'd like to improve my English: 我想学英语
  I'd like to start exercising: 我想开始运动
  *“我想上厕所”*
  别说"I want to go to the toilet", 更好的说法:
  Nature calls: 婉转的上厕所说法
  I need to use the washroom: 我要用一下洗手间
