）● Would you pass the water?（试探受话人是否乐意）● Could your possibly pass the water?（询问受话人是否有做某事的可能性，很客气）● I would be ext remely grateful if your would pass the water.（假设语气陈述句，很有礼貌）● I wonder if you would be good enough to pass the water.（假设语气，很委婉）受话人如何给对方答复，现分肯定回答和否定回答来研究。

肯定回答：按礼貌程度由低到高排列。

● O.K.● (Yes,) ce rtainly.● Yes, by all means.● Of course. I'll be only too pleased to.否定回答：当你被别人邀请参加聚会或其他等等活动而你因有事不能参加；或者人家有事相求你又确实帮不了，请求得不到满足，回答使发话人不悦，这时你不妨试试下面这些软否定：No, I'm afraid I can't;I'm afraid not, ...;I'm afraid I can't at present because...;I wish I could, but...;I'd love to, but...;I'd be glad to, but...;Well, I'd love to, but actually,It's very kind of you to say, but ...;etc. 让我们用一些对话做为例子:● A: We plan to go to the beach after class, want to come?B: I'd love to, but Pro. Jones wants to speak with me.● A: It never fails, It's raining hard outside and I'm stuck without an umbrella.B: I'd like to let you have mine, but I have to go out soon.● A: Will you go to the movies with me tonight?B: I'd love to, but I've caught a cold.● A: Could you possibly do me a favor?B: Sure, What is it?A: I've got a problem.

I'm sure he'll be happy to lend you his.A: Thank you. I'll call him right away.● A: It's such a fine day, shall we go to the park for a walk?B: I'd like to join you, but I find it chilly to walk outside in spite of the sun.2 劝告的婉转法试比较下面句子（按从直截了当到较有礼貌的含蓄的劝告表达法排列）● You ought to type this paper.(有强加于人的意向)● You really should slow down at your o ffice.● You'd better tell him the truth.● I'd advise you to take a vacation.● You should take your parents' advice, they know what's best for you.● If I were you , I'd buy another car without hesitation.（含蓄地达到劝告目的）3 建议的表达法试比较：● I suggest you go for some advice.(不够礼貌，用于熟悉的人)● I would suggest starting the work at once.（较委婉）● You can read the novel now if you like.（给人选择余地，较客气）● You could/might have a look at the novel.（客气）● Why not call me next weeken d?（有礼貌的建议）● Why don't you find a decent job?（同5））● Can /may/Could/might I suggest that...?（使受话人容易接受）● It would be better if you copy that again.（假设条件句，容易使人接受）● I wonder if I might make the suggestion that...（用在正式场合，比如外交家的审慎的辞令风格）4 如何利用某些时态婉转地表达自己种种想法从上面所举例子，我们不难发现英语中有些时态其实并不表示真正的时态，而是与英语中的委婉语气密不可分的，例如：4.1 某些实意动词（want, wonder, think, hope等）的过去时、现在进行时、过去进行时表现在时比直接用现在时态更婉转，如：● A: Did you want me?B: Yes, I wondered if you could give me some help.● It's time you had a holiday.● I wish you lived closer to us.● If only you lent your book to me.● I'm hoping you'll give us some advice.● I'm wondering if I may have a word with you.● I was wondering /wondered if you'd like to come out with me one evening.● I was hoping / hoped you could send me some books.上面所举例子实际上都可以用一般现在时来代替，但是就不如用一般过去时；现在进行时或过去进行时委婉。

解密英语中的委婉语范本一份

解密英语中的委婉语范本一份解密英语中的委婉语 1委婉语起源于远古，维多利来女王时代中期为其鼎盛时期，在现代英语中，其出现频率依然颇高，因为人们通过委婉语，可以用温顺悦耳的`词语去谈论或叙述一些原来令人不快或逆耳之事物。

为此，他们用domestic help, day help或live-in help代替mail或servant(佣人); 以custodian或superintendent替代doorkeeper, caretaker或janitor(看门人或管理人);用She has a tile loose或She has a cylinder missing去代替She is crazy或She is not right in the head(神经失常)。

委婉语多如恒河沙数，不胜枚举，在此略举数例，以见一斑：原称委婉语无线电修理工radio electrician——radio doctor理发师barber——cosmotologist家庭妇女housewife——household executive收垃圾工人garbage collector——sanitary engineer老人old people——senior citizens再看两个委婉语的例子：Nowadays many weight-watchers would like to go to the gym。

如今有不少胖人喜欢到健身房去锻炼。

They are the culturally deprived。

他们是没有学识的人。

值得注意的是，委婉语虽然是“古已有之，于今为烈",但决不能用得过多过滥. 使用时要考虑场合和对象，如用得不得体，反而会使你"欲礼而不达",甚至令人不知所云，一头雾水。

You can find doctors and doctors in Hongkong!在__，既有好医生，也有坏医生。

英语中委婉语气的表达法

英语中委婉语气的表达法在每一个民族的语言里，或多或少有些关于更礼貌更客气的表达方法，也就是委婉语气表达（overtone of politeness）。

那么如何讲有礼貌的英语呢？下面就用一些例子对此做一些阐述。

1 有关请求和命令的婉转说法这一类言语行为在不同程度上具有冒犯性，因此需要用礼貌的话把它淡化和缓解。

试比较：●Pass the water.(不礼貌)●Pass the water, please.（使对方容易接受。

）●Would you pass the water（试探受话人是否乐意）●Could your possibly pass the water（询问受话人是否有做某事的可能性，很客气）●I would be extremely grateful if your would pass the water.（假设语气陈述句，很有礼貌）●I wonder if you would be good enough to pass the water.（假设语气，很委婉）受话人如何给对方答复，现分肯定回答和否定回答来研究。

肯定回答：按礼貌程度由低到高排列。

●.●(Yes,) certainly.●Yes, by all means.●Of course. I'll be only too pleased to.否定回答：当你被别人邀请参加聚会或其他等等活动而你因有事不能参加；或者人家有事相求你又确实帮不了，请求得不到满足，回答使发话人不悦，这时你不妨试试下面这些软否定：No, I'm afraid I can't; Well, I'd love to, but actually, I'm afraid I can't at present because...; I wish I could, but...; I'd love to, but...; I'd be glad to, but...; I'm afraid not, ...; It's very kind of you to say, but ...; I'd like to ..., but ...，etc. 让我们用一些对话做为例子:●A: We plan to go to the beach after class, want to comeB: I'd love to, but Pro. Jones wants to speak with me.●A: It never fails, It's raining hard outside and I'm stuck without an umbrella.B: I'd like to let you have mine, but I have to go out soon.●A: Will you go to the movies with me tonightB: I'd love to, but I've caught a cold.●A: Could you possibly do me a favorB: Sure, What is itA: I've got a problem.

I'm sure he'll be happy to lend you his.A: Thank you.
