Notes:

　　1 在与英语国家的人们交谈时，难免要请教一些词或词组的意思，此时惯常的、礼貌的做法是先为打扰了他人或占用了他人的时间表示道歉，然后请求解释词义。一般来讲，只要你提问的场合与时间适宜，他们都会非常乐意回答你的。在本对话中这句 "Oh, I'm sorry. Could you be a little more specific?" 这是澄清含义的一种表达方法。

　　2 Do you approve of the way I typed the report?

　　approve (of) = agree officially 同意，赞成

　　例句：

　　We had to wait months for the council to approve (of) our plan to extend our house.

　　If the directors approve of it, we'll buy the new computer system.

　　3 By all means, please.

　　by all means 务必，一定，当然可以

　　例句：--May I borrow this book? --By all means.

　　常用句型：

　　I made a mistake.

　　It's my fault.

　　I screwed up.

　　I didn't realize that I should...

　　Could you be a little more specific?

　　Oh, you're the guilty party.

　　What's holding things up?

　　What have you done to correct the situation?

　　Notes：

　　“请求”注意事项

　　在提出请求时，除了必要的礼貌外，还需注意两点：

　　(1)大胆。

　　大胆就是敢于提出自己的请求，特别是那些初到英美的中国学子，不要过分顾虑自己的语言能力。绝大多数外国人只要听懂你的意思，并不会注意你是否用错时态，混淆名词的单复数，或某几个音发不准。

　　(2)坦率。

　　坦率就是直截了当地提出自己的要求，不要绕圈子。英美人一般比较坦率，能帮忙的，会马上答应。如果爱莫能助，也会当场说明理由，加以拒绝：I think I'll be able to help you, but...
