在口语中,please 一般用于祈使句(第二人称)。如:
Come here please.
Get up early, please.
Don’t come late, please.
但是看到一个句是陈述句,主语是第一人称,却也用了 please:
I’d like some bread, please.
请问:这句中的 please 用得对吗?
Please除用于祈使句外,完全可用于主语是第一人称的陈述句。如以下各句均摘自《朗文英语语法》:
I want much less please. 请不要给我那么多。
I’d like to have a sandwich please. 我想要一块三明治。
I’d like some information please. 请告诉我一些情况吧。
I’d like a little time to think about it please. 请给我一点时间将它考虑一下。
另外,还请注意please 在以下省略句中的用法:
One beer, please. 请来一杯啤酒。
Two teas and four coffees, please. 请来两杯茶和四杯咖啡。
A: How would you like your money? 你要票额多少的钱?
B: In fives please. 请给我5元一张的吧。
A: How many more stamps do you want? 你还要多少张邮票?
B: Four more please. 请再给4张。
