⊙请哪位告诉我......

Could/Can someone tell me...?

Could anyone suggest...?

May I query folks' opinions regarding...?

⊙如果谁能......我会非常高兴？

If anyone can...I shall be very greatful.

If someone could...I would really appreciate it.

I would appreciate if you could pass it on to me.

小贴士：使用if...could及I would/could等来表达，会给人非常礼貌的感觉。
因为这并非断定，而是以假定来表现事物。

二、练习：

翻译，注意使用上面的句型。

1.谁能告诉我America,So Real这本书的出版社？

2.请建议一台能搭配我的IBM电脑的好的打印机。

3.能请教大家对公司内强制制作TOEIC测验这种趋势的意见吗？

4.如果谁能帮我找到这食谱的网页，我会非常高兴。

5.如果你手边有相关咨讯可以提供给我，我会很感谢。

选做：请写出能够表达恳切建议的句子。

IT时代新新美语——2 ACK

表示“知道了”、“收到了”，是acknowledgment的简写

一组资料数据船出去后，若是对方及时收到，即以ACK辉映表示传来的所有资料收到无误。若是收到的资料不全，则用“NAK”(Negative Acknowledgment)表示。

ACK means that a block of data sent out and arrived at its destination without error.
