3. Let me... 我來……
“Let me...”是英語中最簡單也是最常用的句型,通常用于你想做一件對對方有利的事,請求對方同意時,如“Let me show you the way.”
做人還是要主動一點,熱情一點,這個句型不可不學。
◆ 最常用的三個句子
Top 1: Let me help you.
(我來幫你。)
Top 2: Let me show you how to do it.
(我來做給你看。)
Kim’s Note:
This sentence is one of the most useful sentences to offer assistance. It is always easier to show someone how to do something than it is to tell him.
這個句子是向人提供幫助時最有用的句子。演示給人家看總比告訴別人如何做要簡單一些。
Top 3: Let me give you some advice.
(我給你一些建議。)
◆ 瘋狂操練
Let me hold this for you.
(我?guī)湍隳冒桑。?
Let me introduce myself.
(我來介紹一下我自己。)
Let me drive you home.
(我來送你回家。)
Let me tell you the truth.
(我來告訴你事情的真相。)
Let me get the doctor.
(我去叫醫(yī)生。)
“Let me...”的其它用法:
①一時想不起來,可以說:
Let me think.
(我想一想。)
Kim’s Note:
This sentence is great when you aren’t sure what to say next, or you can’t think of the right word in English. It makes you sound intelligent and deep. It’s much better than “I don’t know.”
當你不知道接著說什么或者想不出一個正確的英文單詞時,這個句子就很有用。它會使你聽起來很有頭腦,很深沉。比“I don’t know”可要好幾倍!
②一時下不了決心,可以說:
Let me see.
(我想想看。)
③想滿足一下自已的好奇心,可以說:
Let me have a look.
(讓我看一看。)
④想確認一下自已的日程安排,可以說:
Let me check.
(我核對一下。)
⑤想試一試身手,可以說:
Let me try.
(我來試一試。)
Kim’s Note:
If you don’t want to tell someone “no” or “I can’t” just use this sentence instead.
如果你不想告訴別人“不”或者“我不行”,那就用這個句子吧!
⑥和朋友告別時,可以說:
Let me hear from you.
(給我來信。)
⑦看看自已能不能答應別人,則可以說:
Let me see if I will have time.
(我看看有沒有時間。)
⑧“Let me...”有時還可用于警告,如:
Let me catch you bullying my brother again.
(下次再讓我看到你欺負我兄弟的話,有你好看的。)
Kim’s Note:
This is a classic threat sentence! It’s usually said with a fist raised in the air!
這是一個經(jīng)典的威脅句子!說這話的人常常會舉起拳頭。
⑨“Let me...”后面除了跟動詞,還可與副詞或介詞連用,如:
Let me alone.
(別碰我。)
Let me in.
(讓我進去。)
Let me out of here.
(放我出去。)
◆額外成就感
如果你想跟對方一起做某事,可以用“Let’s...”來征求對方同意,如:
Let’s go.
(我們走吧?。?
Kim’s Note:
You can make this sentence an automatic part of your English by blurting it out after you say“走吧!”
在說完“走吧!”之后,將這個句子脫口而出,以后你就可以很自然地說出這個英文句子了。
Let’s stop here and have lunch!
(我們在這里停下來吃飯吧!)
Let’s的否定句型“let’s not”也可以用來提出建議。
Kim’s Note:
The following sentence pattern is most commonly used all by itself. When someone is too enthusiastic about a bad idea, it is common to hear someone say coldly “Let’s not!”
以下這個句型常常可以獨立使用。當有人對一個壞主意很執(zhí)著時,常常會聽到有人冷冷地說“Let’s not!”
Young New Employee: “Let’s all work late tonight and share our ideas with each other after work。”
Old Tired Employee: “Let’s not!”
年輕的新職員:“讓我們今晚多加一點班,并在工作之后相互交流一下。”
疲憊的老職員:“不行”。
Let’s not forget the reason for this meeting.
(我們不要忘了這次會議的主旨。)
Let’s not make a big deal out of this.
(我們不要小題大做。)
Let’s not keep the good news a secret.
(我們應該把好消息告訴大家。)
Let’s not take a break until we finish.
(我們先做完再歇吧。)
Let’s not let our country down.
(讓我們不要讓祖國失望。)
順便再學一個成語“let down”:辜負,使失望,做對不起……的事
Don’t let me down. I need you.【戀人用語】
(別拋下我不管,我需要你。)
I’m counting on you to support me –– don’t let me down.
(我指望你會支持我——別讓我失望。)
