辦公室閑聊:建議
[ 2007-08-16 10:20 ]
請求與提議具有普遍的交際意義。請求和提議有許多表達方法,可直截了當(dāng)提出自己的想法,也可采用暗示的方法;有隨時想起的提議,也有經(jīng)過周密思考后慎重提出的建議。
A: What's the matter, Jack? You look a bit pale.
你怎么了,杰克?你的臉色有點發(fā)白。
B: I feel terrible. I hardly slept a wink last night.
我覺得有點難受。昨天晚上幾乎一夜沒有合眼。
A: You often have trouble sleeping, don't you? I'll bet your blood pressure is high.
你經(jīng)常睡不好覺嗎?我敢打賭你的血壓肯定很高。
B: As a matter of fact, it's a little high.
確實有點高。
A: Let's give you a bit of advice, if you don't mind. Quit smoking or at least cut down on it. Watch your diet and...
你要是不嫌我說話直接的話,我告訴你怎么辦。馬上戒煙,至少少抽一點。注意飲食而且……
B: And get some exercise every day, right? A lot of people have told me the same thing, but somehow I just can't force myself to do it.
每天活動活動,對嗎?好多人都這樣勸我,可我就是做不到。
A: Well, if you go on the way you have, you're only going to make things harder for yourself.
如果你這樣繼續(xù)下去,情況會越來越糟的。
