如本文中，Richard问Alexandra“想来一点咖啡吗”，他说"Would you like some coffee?"在谈到自己的书Family Album, U.S.A.时，他问对方“想要看一看吗”，"Would you like to see them?"如果我们不想接受，就说"No, thank you."如果愿意接受，则说"Yes. I'd like that." 或者"Yes. Please."2. Here they are.把东西给别人看时用。

单数时用Here it is.3. Thanks.在本情境中出现的两次"Thanks"都是对于别人赞美的回应。

称赞对方，或对方的家人，是美国人很重要的一种社交习惯，被人称赞时，要表示乐于接受并愉快地感谢，不要急于否认或自贬，也不要表现得扭捏不安。

所以无论是人家说你的英语好--"Your English is very good."，还是称赞你的夫人很漂亮--"Oh, she's very pretty."，都不必不好意思，只要说声"Thank you" 就可以了。

ACT 1-4 “很高兴认识你。

”【故事梗概】Richard问到了Alexandra的家庭及个人情况。

在交谈中，Richard突然想起了与自己的妻子还有约定，于是与Alexandra匆匆告辞，下船离开。
