1. 解詞釋義
Do sb a favor的意思是“幫某人一個(gè)忙”。對(duì)話中Could you do me a favor?在口語(yǔ)中非常常用,特別是用于特殊疑問(wèn)句中。有時(shí)候要人幫忙卻又感到難為情的時(shí)候,不好意思的時(shí)候,可以這樣說(shuō):Could you please do me a little favor? 還有一種更為正式和禮貌的說(shuō)法:Could you give me a hand?
2. 拓展例句
e.g. I need you to do me a favor if you can.
如果你可以的話,我需要你幫我一個(gè)忙。
e.g. Would you do me a favor to translate it into Chinese?
你能不能幫忙翻譯成漢語(yǔ)?
e.g. Will you do me a favor and phone for me ?
你能否幫個(gè)忙給我打個(gè)電話?
