本集教學重點聚焦於核心句型 "Oh, you don't have to do that!"(這怎麼好意思~),帶你練習別人大方請客送禮時該怎麼優雅回應;同時補充一整套禮貌攻防句,從稱讚、堅持、勉為其難收下,到婉拒過於貴重的禮物,通通教給你!
【本集教學重點】
本集的核心句型是當別人大方要請客或送禮時,用來優雅、有禮貌地表達害羞客氣心情的一句話:"Oh, you don't have to do that!"(這怎麼好意思~)。
本集主打句子,要劃重點!
「走~要不要去吃飯?我請客!」「這怎麼好意思~」
"Hey, wanna grab dinner? My treat!" "Oh, you don't have to do that!"
文法小撇步:
・don't have to 表示「不需要」,語氣是體貼地告訴對方「你不用這麼做」,跟表示義務的 have to(必須)意思完全相反,別搞混囉!
・這句話是典型的「口嫌體正直」句型,嘴巴上客氣推辭,其實心裡是開心接受的,是社交場合中既得體又充滿人情味的必備神句。
【補充學習:禮貌攻防戰實用句】
除了主題句,兩位主持人還加碼整理了一整套禮貌攻防戰的實用句子:
禮貌用語 1. That's so kind of you! ◦ 你太客氣了。
禮貌用語 2. I insist. ◦ 你就收下吧!(我堅持唷!)
禮貌用語 3. Well, if you insist, then thank you very much! ◦ 那我就收下了。(既然對方都這麼誠懇地堅持了,就大方道謝收下吧!)
禮貌用語 4. We're just happy you're here, you don't need to bring a gift next time! ◦ 人來就好,下次不用帶禮物啦~(聚會主人對客人超暖心的回應!)
禮貌用語 5. This is way too much, I really can't accept it. ◦ 這個太貴重了,我不能收~(如果禮物重到有負擔,這句可以禮貌且明確地拒絕。)
使用小提點:
・"That's so kind of you!" → 用在準備接受對方好意前,先真誠稱讚對方一句
・"This is way too much, I really can't accept it." → 用在禮物真的太貴重、必須明確婉拒的時候,語氣比單純客氣推辭更堅定
