please是口语中一个很常用的词,它一般用于祈使句。如:
Pass me the salt, please. 请把盐递给我。
Please show me how to start the engine. 请给我示范怎样启动发动机。
也见过please用于这样的疑问句:
Would you please pass me the salt? 请递给我盐好吗?
Would you please lend me your pen? 借用一下你的钢笔好吗?
但是,今天看到please用于下面这样的陈述句:
I want much less please. 请不要给我那么多。
I’d like some information please. 请告诉我一些情况吧。
请专家老师总结一下please的相关用法,非常感谢!
