英语口语短语
could you point me…? 是什么意思?怎么用
"Could you point me...?" 是很常见、很礼貌的说法,用来请别人给你方向、告诉你东西在哪儿,或者把你引到合适的选择上。它不一定真的要对方用手指指,更多是“给我指路/指引一下”。
什么时候说
- 问地点或方向:"Could you point me toward baggage claim?"
- 问店里某个东西在哪:"Could you point me to the rice vinegar?"
- 问该往哪边走:"Could you point me in the right direction for the Orange Line platform?"
- 请人推荐一个合适的选择:"Could you point me to a good option for a first-timer?"
语气: 语气礼貌、自然,适合问路、问位置、问推荐;前面加上 "Excuse me" 会更客气。
注意: 不要漏掉后面的介词。很多人会直译成 "point me the bookstore",这是不对的。要说 "point me to the bookstore";如果你是想问完整路线,更自然的是 "Could you tell me how to get to the bookstore?"
