asking_for_helpAsking For Help 请求帮助
其实咱们如果身居国外,向别人求助肯定是常有的事情,比如咱们刚到一个陌生的城市,走着走着迷路了,我们就可能会问别人,比如怎么走到教室啊,或者怎么找到回家的路啊。那么大家请看,问的时候我们就首先会向别人发出帮助的请求。那这时候,我们能不能直接在大街上把别人拦住,问:“Hey! Where is the Bus station?” or “hey! Show me the way to the classroom!”很显然这样问就不太合适了。咱们中文经常讲“麻烦您问一下”。所以请求帮助也是分几个步骤的。那第一步就是表达除我们是很真诚的,或者可以说是a kind of modest. Because we’re asking for something.。这时英文中有一句话就可以派上用场了,“Excuse me”, 相当于咱们中文的“劳驾您”或者“麻烦您”~

So we get the first important sentence today---“Excuse me. Can you help me?” or “Excuse me. But can you help me?
Here if we don’t want to use the word “help”, we can change the sentence into “Can you do me a favor?”(重复). This is a formal expression. “favor”大家知道是“恩惠”的意思。所以这句话就显得很正式了“can you do me a favor?” or “Will you do me a favor?”
如果我们想让这句话口语性再强一点,For example, when we need our friends’ help, we can say“Excuse me. Can you give me a hand?”or “Excuse me. Will you lend me a hand?”这就是我们中文里常说的“帮把手吧”“给我帮把手吧”。
这些都是口语中非常常用的句子。我们来回过头看一下,请求帮助开口时我们学了哪些表达。
Excuse me. Can you help me?
Excuse me. Will you do me a favor?
Can you give me a hand?
Will you lend me a hand?
Just now we mentioned an important word HELP. Now let’s look at this word.
Help 这个词有这样几种用法:
Help! 什么都不加,单独使用。HELP! 那么我们在刚到一个新环境的时候,出去街上逛逛,却发现找不到公车站牌,于是大声喊“help! Help!”? 这样一般是不可以的啊。We should say in such a polite way, that“E
