月日,今天你学英语了吗?每天10句!!!!!快进来和我一起学吧!!
11.Better safe than sorry. (it is better to act cautiously beforehand than to suffer afterwards. )
小心不出大错。
12. Can I have a day off?
我能请一天假吗?
13.Can I help?
要我帮忙吗?
14.Can I take a message?
要我传话吗?
15.Can I take a rain check?
先来看两句对话:
“How about a cup of coffee? ”
“Rain check.”
这是什么意思呢1?怎么有人问要不要来杯咖啡,而回答却是“给我张雨票”?
原来Rain check是美国流行口语,典故出自露天举行的棒球比赛。棒球是最受美国人欢迎的运动之一。如果球赛进行时天公不造美,骤然倾盆大雨,不得不暂停,观众可领“雨票”,或用原票存根作为“雨票”(rain check),球赛改期举行时可凭之入场。
Rain check这句话后来有了引申意,广泛应用于日常生活中。
比方说有人请你吃饭或看戏,假如你刚巧因事不能奉陪,你可用婉谢的口吻说:May I take a rain check?
直译是:可以给我一张雨票吗?
地道英语的引申义是:这次抱歉不能赴约,下次有请必到。
上句是很客气的委婉讲法。如果约你的朋友已经是很熟的了,你大可直接说 I'll take a rain check,换成汉语就是:“改天吧。”
你能改天再请我吗?
A: Buy the way, I was wandering if you had any plans for tonight. I was wondering if you’d like to join me for a drink after work.
B: Oh, I’d love to. But I really have to finish preparing some documents for tomorrow’s meeting. Can I have a rain check?
A: Sure, how about next week sometime.
B: That’s sound great!
16.Can I take your order?
您要点菜吗?
17.Can you give me a wake-up call?
你能打电话叫醒我吗?
18.Can you give me some feedback?
你能给我一些建议吗?
19.Can you make it?

20.Can I have a word with you?
