#Social Skills# 社交技巧

 

 请别人帮忙做事时，在句子前面加by any chance，表示“有机会的话……”，很委婉，听起来你是一个如此有修养的人，classy! elegant!

 

比如：

• By any chance，could you help me to ask your sister to come down？

 

 • Will you be going to the finance meeting tomorrow by any chance? 用please 要注意：

 

 • 要把please放在句尾。不然放在句首，听起来 会很不耐烦。

 

例如： Could I have a glass of water，please? 

 Please，could I have a glass of water? 

 因为 please 放在句首会稍微带一点要求命令的 语气。

 

常用英文写邮件的小伙伴注意啦： 书面语中，比如在给客户或老板写邮件时：

 • 可以把please替换成could you…或may I…等疑 问句，

 

• 或者换成……will be highly appreciated/ I'd appreciate it if…… 试比较：

 Please reply to me by today. May I have your feedback by today？

Your earliest response would be highly appreciated.

 

当得到帮助或者反馈时，除了 Thank you: 谢谢你 还可以在道别时加一句：

 

• Have a nice day/evening！

 

• Enjoy the rest of your day!
