39. Can you give me a hand, Mike? Could you give me a ride?
點睛
can you和could you都是表示請求的句型,意為“你能……嗎?”
give me a hand意為“幫我一個忙”,give me a ride意為“載我一程”。與此類似的說法還有:give me a reason“給我一個理由”,give me a chance“給我一次機(jī)會”,give me a hug“給我一個擁抱”。
此外,還有一個非??谡Z化的說法give me a break,它的意思更微妙。如:
1) You really think Jennifer is the prettiest girl in our class? Give me a break! There're several girls in our class who are better-looking than she is.(在這句話里,give me a break是表示不同意對方的意見。)
2) Look, kid, I'm working on a term paper that's due tomorrow. I promise to play the video game with you after dinner, OK? Come on; give me a break so I can finish this!(在這句話里,give me a break表示“你別煩我啦”。)
