第五讲: 提供建议。
Lesson 5: Making Recommendations
Leo: Hi I’m Leo.
利奥向客人蒙纳怀特女士推荐餐馆
Mona : Hi, I’m Mona White.
参加这段对话的还有蒙纳怀特女士的父亲杰克伟博
And her father, Jack Webber…
Jack: Hi, I’m Jack Webber.
另外,我们还会遇到当地餐馆的一位女服务员琴
Jean: Hi, I’m Jean.
利奥: 晚上好，怀特女士和伟博先生
Leo: Good evening, Ms White, Mr Webber.
杰克: 晚上好，利奥
Jack: Good evening, Leo.
蒙纳: 我们现在要出去吃晚饭，你能推荐一家好的餐馆吗？离
这里不太远的。
Mona: We’re going out for dinner now. Could you recommend a good
restaurant? One that’s nearby?
利奥: 金莲花餐馆离这里非常近，那里的海鲜食品很著名，但
是如果您喜欢在就餐的时候欣赏音乐的话，那我就向您
推荐有歌舞表演的珍珠园餐馆,您走路就可以到这家餐
馆。
Leo: The Golden Lotus is very close. It’s famous for its seafood.
But, if you like to listen to music while you’re eating, I
recommend the Pearl Garden Cabaret. It’s also within walking
distance.
Mona: One that’s nearby.
而利奥是这样回答的。。。。
利奥: 金莲花餐馆离这里非常近
Leo: The Golden Lotus is very close…
在表述餐馆与酒店之间的距离时，利奥还使用了这样的说法:
within walking distance，您走路就可以到，和It’s just two
doors down，你要去的地方离开这里只有两个门牌号的间隔。
Nearby
It’s nearby
Very close
It’s very close
Within walking distance
It’s within walking distance.
Just two doors down.
It’s just two doors down.
蒙纳: 噢,不用了.我们希望找一家安静的餐馆.
Mona: Oh no, we’d like a quiet restaurant.
利奥: 哪我就向您推荐金莲花餐馆.
Leo: Then I suggest the Golden Lotus.
利奥: 往下走两个门牌号码,就在您的左侧
Leo: It’s just two doors down, on the left.
蒙纳: 谢谢.
Mona: Thank you.
杰克: 也许我们明天晚上可以去珍珠园餐馆
Jack: Maybe we could go to the Pearl Garden tomorrow night.
最常用的说法是I recommend， 例如I recommend
the Plaza Hotel。我向您推荐广场酒店。另外，您也可以说I
suggest，例如I suggest the Lotus Restaurant， 我建议您去莲
花餐馆。I recommend.
I recommend the Plaza Hotel.
I suggest.
I suggest the Lotus restaurant.
习惯上，如果是你主动向客人提供建议，那么在句子的前面要使用
may 这个词，例如:May I recommend the Lotus？我建议您去莲花
餐馆。May I suggest the Plaza Hotel？我向您推荐广场酒店。
Leo: Good evening, Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Good evening, Leo
Mona: We’re going out for dinner now. Could you recommend a good
restaurant? One that’s nearby?
Leo: The Golden Lotus is very close.
It’s famous for its seafood.
But, if you like to listen to music while you’re eating,
I recommend the Pearl Garden Cabaret.
It’s also within walking distance.
Mona: Oh no, we’d like a quiet restaurant.
Leo: Then I suggest the Golden Lotus.
Leo: It’s just two doors down, on the left.
Mona: Thank you.
Jack: Maybe we could go to the cabaret tomorrow night.

语法讲解。在有些时候如果我们只是用简单的Yes 或者No 来回答
问题，听起来就会有些过于生硬。其实用短句子回答问题并不是太
难的一件事，而且提问者使用的句型中往往就会包含着某种提示。
现在让我们一起来听听餐馆服务员琴和她的顾客蒙纳及杰克之间的
对话.，请特别注意他们对话中所使用的短句子。
Mona: Do you speak English?
Jean: Yes, I do.
Jean: Would you like to see a menu?
Mona: Yes, we would, thank you.
Jack: Do you have Australian beer?
Jean: Yes, we do.
其实问话者提问句子中的第一个字就 已经告诉您应该使用什么样的句型来回答他的问题了。例如如果问 话者的问题是: Is there an iron? 你有熨斗吗？那么肯定的回答
就是: Yes，there is。是，这儿有熨斗。再如: Will you be
here long? 您打算长住吗？肯定的回答就是: Yes，I will。是，
我打算住久一点儿。依此类推。接下来请您注意听以下的问话及肯
定的回答，并请您跟着重复。
Do you speak English?
Yes, I do.
Do you take credit card?
Yes, we do.
Is there a clock in the room?
Yes, there is.
Will you leave on Friday?
Yes I will.
现在请您来试试看。首先您会听到中文句子， 然后是这句话的英语
表示方法。在铃声之后会有一段间隔，供您用英语短句子做回答。
随后我们会播放正确的英语答案，最后请您再重复一遍正确的英语
答案。
这附近有餐馆吗？
Is there a restaurant nearby?
Yes, there is.
请问你们接受信用卡吗？
Do you take credit card?
Yes, we do.
你星期天时就离开吗？
Will you leave on Sunday?
Yes, I will.
现在让我们一起复习一下这段对话的最后一部分。在琴的句子之后
我们会留出一段间隔，请您利用这段间隔重复琴的话。
Mona: Good evening. Do you speak English?
Jean: Yes, I do.
Jean: Do you have a reservation?
Mona: No, we don’t.
Jean: This way please.
Jean: Would you like to see a menu?
Mona: Yes, we would, thank you.
Jean: Can I get you anything to drink, while you decide?
Jack: I’ll have a light beer, thank you.
Jean: Local or imported?
Jack: Do you have Australian?
Jean: Yes, we do.
Jack: I’ll have Australian thanks.
Mona: Just a bottle of water for me, thank you.
Jean: Certainly.
