【語法聚焦】

表示請求、允許、許可

表示允許時用can, could, may, might表達。它們沒有時態上的差別，只是could比can, might比may語氣上要客氣。（用can或could表示“許可”，雖然很普通，但在正式、莊重的場合用may。）

例如：

●A: Could I borrow your dictionary?　　　勞駕，我可以借你的字典用用嗎？

B: Yes, of course (you can).　　　　　　當然可以。

●Can表示“允許、許可”時，和may的意思相近，即can=may.

此時的否定式是can’t (=must not)

●Could/Can you please tell me how to get to the post office?

勞駕，您能告訴我怎麼去郵局嗎？

●Mr Li asked me whether I could go with him.

李先生問我是否可以和他一起去。

(此句中的could不能用can代替。)

表示請求時還可以用句型：Will/Would you …? 請（爲我）……好嗎？

該句型用於請求對方做某事。 Would you…?比較客氣。語氣比Will you…?要委婉。

例如：

●Will you pass me the spoon? 請把勺子遞給我好嗎？

●Would you lend me your dictionary? 請借你的詞典用一下好嗎？

答句爲：

Yes, I will.　是的，可以。

Sure.　　　　　當然了。

All right.　　好啊。

Certainly.　　當然可以。

Yes, please.　好的，可以。

No, I won’t. 不，不行。

I’m sorry. I can’t.　對不起， 不行。

No, thank you.　　　　 不了，謝謝。

●Shall I …? 我要…嗎？

Shall we…? 我們一起 …好嗎？

Shall we…? 與Let’s…. 意思上很相近。

Shall I carry it for you? 我來幫你搬它好嗎？

Yes, please./ Yes, thank you.　 好吧。/好吧，謝謝。

Shall we sing a song?　 我們唱一支歌好嗎？

No, let’s not. 不， 別唱了。
