3. Let me... 我来……
“Let me...”是英语中最简单也是最常用的句型,通常用于你想做一件对对方有利的事,请求对方同意时,如“Let me show you the way.”
做人还是要主动一点,热情一点,这个句型不可不学。
◆ 最常用的三个句子
Top 1: Let me help you.
(我来帮你。)
Top 2: Let me show you how to do it.
(我来做给你看。)
Kim’s Note:
This sentence is one of the most useful sentences to offer assistance. It is always easier to show someone how to do something than it is to tell him.
这个句子是向人提供帮助时最有用的句子。演示给人家看总比告诉别人如何做要简单一些。
Top 3: Let me give you some advice.
(我给你一些建议。)
◆ 疯狂操练
Let me hold this for you.
(我帮你拿吧!)
Let me introduce myself.
(我来介绍一下我自己。)
Let me drive you home.
(我来送你回家。)
Let me tell you the truth.
(我来告诉你事情的真相。)
Let me get the doctor.
(我去叫医生。)
“Let me...”的其它用法:
①一时想不起来,可以说:
Let me think.
(我想一想。)
Kim’s Note:
This sentence is great when you aren’t sure what to say next, or you can’t think of the right word in English. It makes you sound intelligent and deep. It’s much better than “I don’t know.”
当你不知道接着说什么或者想不出一个正确的英文单词时,这个句子就很有用。它会使你听起来很有头脑,很深沉。比“I don’t know”可要好几倍!
②一时下不了决心,可以说:
Let me see.
(我想想看。)
③想满足一下自已的好奇心,可以说:
Let me have a look.
(让我看一看。)
④想确认一下自已的日程安排,可以说:
Let me check.
(我核对一下。)
⑤想试一试身手,可以说:
Let me try.
(我来试一试。)
Kim’s Note:
If you don’t want to tell someone “no” or “I can’t” just use this sentence instead.
如果你不想告诉别人“不”或者“我不行”,那就用这个句子吧!
⑥和朋友告别时,可以说:
Let me hear from you.
(给我来信。)
⑦看看自已能不能答应别人,则可以说:
Let me see if I will have time.
(我看看有没有时间。)
⑧“Let me...”有时还可用于警告,如:
Let me catch you bullying my brother again.
(下次再让我看到你欺负我兄弟的话,有你好看的。)
Kim’s Note:
This is a classic threat sentence! It’s usually said with a fist raised in the air!
这是一个经典的威胁句子!说这话的人常常会举起拳头。
⑨“Let me...”后面除了跟动词,还可与副词或介词连用,如:
Let me alone.
(别碰我。)
Let me in.
(让我进去。)
Let me out of here.
(放我出去。)
◆额外成就感
如果你想跟对方一起做某事,可以用“Let’s...”来征求对方同意,如:
Let’s go.
(我们走吧!)
Kim’s Note:
You can make this sentence an automatic part of your English by blurting it out after you say“走吧!”
在说完“走吧!”之后,将这个句子脱口而出,以后你就可以很自然地说出这个英文句子了。
Let’s stop here and have lunch!
(我们在这里停下来吃饭吧!)
Let’s的否定句型“let’s not”也可以用来提出建议。
Kim’s Note:
The following sentence pattern is most commonly used all by itself. When someone is too enthusiastic about a bad idea, it is common to hear someone say coldly “Let’s not!”
以下这个句型常常可以独立使用。当有人对一个坏主意很执著时,常常会听到有人冷冷地说“Let’s not!”
Young New Employee: “Let’s all work late tonight and share our ideas with each other after work。”
Old Tired Employee: “Let’s not!”
年轻的新职员:“让我们今晚多加一点班,并在工作之后相互交流一下。”
疲惫的老职员:“不行”。
Let’s not forget the reason for this meeting.
(我们不要忘了这次会议的主旨。)
Let’s not make a big deal out of this.
(我们不要小题大做。)
Let’s not keep the good news a secret.
(我们应该把好消息告诉大家。)
Let’s not take a break until we finish.
(我们先做完再歇吧。)
Let’s not let our country down.
(让我们不要让祖国失望。)
顺便再学一个成语“let down”:辜负,使失望,做对不起……的事
Don’t let me down. I need you.【恋人用语】
(别抛下我不管,我需要你。)
I’m counting on you to support me –– don’t let me down.
(我指望你会支持我——别让我失望。)
