文档介绍：提建议的方法种种
在日常生活中,我们经常给别人提建议,同样也经常接受他人的建议。提建议是一门艺术。那么,怎样才能给别人委婉地提出建议呢?在英语中,提建议的方法很多,表达方式也各有不同。
一、提建议的几种常见表达法

“你认为……怎么样?”。例如:

“你为何不……?”。例如:
You are hungry. Why not a cake?
你饿了。为什么不吃块蛋糕呢?

既然你想要买一辆新的自行车来庆祝你的生日,为什么不告诉你的父母呢?
3. Will you do …, please? = Will you please do …? “请你……,好吗?”。这种句式也可以用否定问句形式来表达: Won’t you do …? 表示一种试探性的建议。例如:

- Would you lend me your pen a minute?
你愿意把你的钢笔借给我用一会吗?
- Certain I will. 当然可以。
- Would you be good enough to carry the box for me?
请您帮我拿一下这箱子,好吗?
- With pleasure. 很乐意。
5. Shall / we do …/ “我们干……,好吗?”表示“意图”,是征询听话人的意见或意图,而不是表达说话人的意图。例如:
Shall I get some chalks for you, Mr. Smith = Do you want me to get some chalks for you, Mr. Smith?
