Chatterbox—Willingness意愿
交往中有時(shí)需要了解他人的意愿。這時(shí)可以使用“Do you like…?”/“Do you mind…?”等表達(dá)法。表達(dá)意愿有時(shí)需要簡(jiǎn)短干脆(如:No problem/OK/Sure/Why not/Certainly等等),有時(shí)則需要有所保留(即在上述回答之后附上as long as…/but…/if…/though…等)。表達(dá)不情愿時(shí)語(yǔ)言的技巧性較強(qiáng),如Im afraid I cant/I dont think I can…/I wish I could, but…/Id like to be able to, but…等等。
