人們不喜歡聽到別人叫他們直接做什麼,在英文裡給別人建議也可以很有禮貌,《Engvid》英文網站的講師Rebecca在影片中解釋了如何讓別人聽起來更舒服有禮。
一般來說,直接給別人建議,可能會說:
1.Go to ……
這樣聽起來可能太過直接,較為委婉的說法如下:
2.You should go to ……
但是有更委婉的說法:
3.If I were you, I would go to ……
利用If I were you, I would …(如果我是你,我會…)的說法,可以讓人感到你很有禮貌。
範例:
1.If I were you, I would stop smoking.
2.If I were you, I would look for a new job.
3.If I were you, I would finish university.
4.If I were you, I would accept their offer.
5.If I were you, I would buy the house.
6.If I were you, I would arrive by 6 pm.
