—Shall I help you with that suitcase?
—______. (2000上海卷)
A. It’s all right, thanks
B. Yes, go ahead please
C. I don’t want to trouble you too much
D. No, please don’t do it
答案:A。
我是一名学生,平时也使用英语词典,但我在翻遍不少字典中都没有找到用 it's all right 表示同意某人帮助的。
以下是我在朗文上所摘内容:
○it's all right: used to make someone feel less afraid or worried
It's all right, Mommy's here.
○it's / that's all right: used to reply to someone who thanks you or says they are sorry about something
"Thanks for all your help!" "That's quite all right."
我想问一下各位老师是否确实有这样的用法?或者说这是一道没有答案的谬题呢?
—Shall I help youwith that suitcase? —______. (2000上海卷)
A. It’s all right, thanks B. Yes, go ahead please
C. I don’t want to trouble you too much
D. No, please don’t do it
答案:A
这上海2000年高考的第41题,是咱们高考众多奇葩的试题之一。如果赵振才教授在其《初高中英语考点难点详解词典》黑龙江人民出版社2002年版 第784页所说的正确的话,那么你的认识就是对的。他说:这里It’ s all right.是对提供帮助或提出请求表示允许的答语,意思是“行。”/“好吧。”相当于Yes,please. That’s/ It’s very kind of you.
这样似乎很能说明问题,不过于此相关的还有更为奇葩的:
【2012-安徽-22】
— May I help you? You seem to behaving some problems.
— _______, thanks.I think I can manage.
A. All right B.No problem
C. It’s all right D.There’s no way
答案:C
下面是一位做题者的评论,括号内为其翻译:
老师很多学生会选择答案D ,我想这是有道理的。 A. B. C都表示肯定,即接受帮助,只有D 是拒绝。我没有去过国外,也很少见到老外,所以我不敢轻言答案是哪个,很多学生也应该是这样吧。我也不知道老外是否会经常用不定式的进行时进行交际,想必出卷教师一定是交际高手吧。【你说的对,我是遇到问题了,但是谢谢你的好意,我自己可以解决】
如果你上网的话,会发现还有许多人认为这里It’s all right.表【婉拒】,我看的真是醉了。
