第 30 课 · 第 3 阶段: 计划、请求与比较
礼貌的愿望 “would like”
初级“Would like” for polite wishes
构成与用法
would like / 'd like + to 动词 — 礼貌地说出想要的
1.形式
would like(缩写为 'd like)意思是 “want”,但比 want 更礼貌。所有主语都用 would:I'd like、she'd like、they'd like。
| 句型 | 例句 |
|---|---|
| would like + noun | I'd like a glass of water, please. |
| would like + to-verb | I'd like to change my seat. |
| would like + person + to-verb | I'd like you to meet my sister. |
| 否定式 | I wouldn't like to live in a big city. |
| 疑问式 | Would you like some tea? · What would you like to do? |
一个小小的 'd 就能改变意思:I like coffee = 我喜欢咖啡(平时的爱好);I'd like a coffee = 请给我一杯咖啡(现在要)。点单时漏掉 'd,你就只是在说自己的口味了。
2.什么时候用
1. 点餐、购物和要求服务
I'd like the chicken curry, please.
我要咖喱鸡,谢谢。
Hi, I'd like to return these shoes. They're too small.
你好,我想退这双鞋。它们太小了。
2. 愿望和梦想
One day I'd like to have my own café.
有一天我想开一家自己的咖啡馆。
Where would you like to live when you retire?
退休以后你想住在哪里?
3. 提供东西和邀请:Would you like…?
Would you like some more rice?
你要再来点米饭吗?
Would you like to join us for dinner on Friday?
星期五你愿意和我们一起吃晚饭吗?
4. 希望别人做某事:would like + 人 + to + 动词
My mum would like you to call her when you land.
我妈妈希望你落地后给她打个电话。
I'd like you to check this email before I send it.
我想请你在我发出去之前检查一下这封邮件。
中文点餐时常说“我要……”,直接翻成 I want… 语法上没错,但对服务员、客户或长辈说,可能显得生硬。换成 I'd like…,马上就礼貌了。
3.Would like 还是 like?
| like | would like | |
|---|---|---|
| 意思 | 喜欢(一般而言) | 想要(现在或稍后) |
| 后面接 | -ing 或 to + 动词 | to + 动词(不接 -ing) |
| 例句 | I like swimming. | I'd like to swim now. |
| 疑问式 | Do you like tea? — Yes, I do. | Would you like some tea? — Yes, please. |
Would love / would prefer / would hate 后面也接 to + 动词:
I'd love to come — thanks for asking!
我很乐意来——谢谢你邀请我!
I'd prefer to stay in tonight. I'm exhausted.
今晚我宁愿待在家里。我累坏了。
I'd hate to miss your wedding.
我可不想错过你的婚礼。
4.回答 Would you like…?
- 接受东西:Yes, please.(只说 Yes 显得生硬)
- 谢绝东西:No, thank you. / No, thanks, I'm fine.
- 接受邀请:I'd love to. / That would be great.
- 婉拒邀请:I'd love to, but I can't. I'm busy that day.
5.常见错误
I would like eat something sweet.I would like to eat something sweet.
动词前面要加 to。
I'd like going to the cinema tonight.I'd like to go to the cinema tonight.
would like 后面不接 -ing。
She would likes to learn the piano.She would like to learn the piano.
would 后面用动词原形。
I'd like that you call me back.I'd like you to call me back.
would like + 人 + to + 动词。
Excuse me, I like to order the chicken.Excuse me, I'd like to order the chicken.
没有 'd 的话意思是“我喜欢”。
Would you like a coffee? — Yes, I would like.Yes, please.
like 后面需要宾语;最自然的回答是 Yes, please。
例句
- I'd like to book a table for two, please.
- I would like to buy two tickets for the seven o'clock show.
- Hi, I'd like to make a complaint about my room.
- We would like to thank everyone for coming tonight.
