Oh and Denise, please send it to me within five minutes, Paul needs it soon. Thank you. Honestly? Good to see who's the boss, eh Denise? Really. Er, Anna, I think you've upset Denise? Upset Denise? You were a bit rude when you asked her to help. Was I? Remember what I said Anna. Just using "please" to ask someone to do something can sound a little rude. Oh. Instead of saying "Please send me the file." you could say "Could you possibly send me the file?" or "Would you mind sending me the file?" Oh. English is so confusing. I'll try to remember that. Oh no, the printer isn't even set up. Tom? Yeah? Please help me with, I mean, could you possibly help me with the printer? Er, I really need to finish this email to a really important new client. But it's really urgent. Would you mind writing your email later? Okay, since you asked so nicely. Let's have a look. Well, it's a good thing Anna has understood how to use "could" and "would" to ask for things, before she upsets anyone else. Let's hear those phrases again. I was wondering if you could do something for me? Would you be able to print out a file for me? Could I have it within ten minutes please? Could you possibly help me with the printer? Would you mind writing your email later? The printer seems to be working well, but how well are Anna and Denise working together? Are these two going to be enemies? Really. "Denise do this. Denise do that." I'm telling you Sharon, I've almost had enough. I get treated like some kind of servant.


哦，丹尼斯，请在5分钟之内发给我，保罗过会需要它。谢谢。 老实说？ 很高兴看见老板，额，丹尼斯？ 真的吗！ 额，丹尼斯，我认为你得罪丹尼斯了。 得罪丹尼斯？ 当你请丹尼斯帮助的时候，你不是太有礼貌。 我吗？ 请记住我所说的，安娜。仅仅使用“please"是不够的，有时候反而会让人听起来不礼貌。 哦。与其说“请给我发个文件。”，你可以说“你可以给我发个文件吗？”或者“你不介意为我发个文件吧？” 哦，英语令我很困惑。我会试着记住那个的。哦，不，打印机出问题了，汤姆。 是的？ 请帮我，我的意思是，你可以帮我修一下打印机吗？ 额，我真的需要完成这个电子邮件，它是给一个非常重要的新客户。 但是它真的非常紧急。你不介意等会再写你的电子邮件吗？ 好的，既然你这么友好的问我了，让我们看一下吧。 好的，安娜已经理解了在得罪人之前，如何使用“could"和"would"来寻求帮助，这是件好事情。让我们再一次听一下这些例句把。 不知你是否能帮我忙？ 你可以为我打印一下文件吗？ 在10分钟之内，我可以拿到它吗？ 你可以帮我弄一下打印机吗？ 你不介意过会在写你的电子邮件吗？ 打印机好了，但是安娜和丹尼斯能和睦相处吗？他们会成为敌人吗？ 当然，“丹尼斯做这个。丹尼斯做那个”我告诉你，我已经受够了。我就好像是佣人。
