请、麻烦、劳驾、希望、求、可以吗……请求是日常生活中一种常见的表达需要。如何在不同场合针对说话双方的不同关系得体地表达请求呢？让我们一起来学习一下吧～

Making requests is common in daily life. How should we make requests according to specific relationships and occasions? Let’s have a look.

qǐng

请

Please 

“请”是最常用的表达请求的礼貌用语。

“请(qǐnɡ)” is the most common polite expression for making requests.

例 | Eg.

①请出示你的学生证。

②携带大件行李的乘客请乘坐升降电梯。

① Please show your student ID.

②All passengers with heavy luggage, please take the elevator.

máfan/bàituō/láojià

麻烦/拜托/劳驾

Sorry to bother you/Could you assist me with/Excuse me

常用的表达请求的礼貌用语，与“请”相比更加委婉。“麻烦”突出请求之事给他人带来的负担，“拜托”重点强调托人办事，“劳驾”则主要用于请别人做事或让路。

These commonly used polite expressions for making requests are more euphemistic than “请(qǐnɡ).” “麻烦(máfɑn)” highlights the potential trouble caused to others in making the request; “拜托(bàituō)” emphasizes the obligations imposed on others to do things, and “劳驾(láojià)” is mainly used to ask for help or to ask others to make way.

例 | Eg.

①麻烦问一下，卫生间在哪里？

②这件事就拜托你了！

③劳驾您让一下。

① Sorry to bother you, where is the bathroom?

② Could you assist me with this matter?

③ Excuse me—coming through.

.……ba/ma/a/bei

.……吧/嘛/啊/呗

… would you/could you/shall we/how about 

表达请求的句末语气词，常用在非正式场合。

Add-on elements for making requests, often used on informal occasions.

例 | Eg.

①咱们明天一起去看电影吧？

②亲爱的，情人节我们去吃大餐嘛。

③老张，下班一起去打羽毛球啊！

④帮我看看这个方案有没有问题呗。

①Let’s go to a movie tomorrow, shall we?

②Darling, how about we eat out for Valentine’s Day?

qiānwàn/wùbì/yídìng

用暗示的方式来表达请求

Indirect expressions for making requests 

不直接请求，而是提及与请求相关的因素或者背景，希望对方能领会言外之意。

Instead of directly making requests, indirect expressions are sometimes used, by mentioning the related factors or background, to hope that the other party can get the message on his or her own.

例 | Eg.

①（想让对方给自己做饭）妈，我饿了。

②（想要借车）你的新车好酷啊！我要是也能开这么酷的车带我女朋友去兜风就好了。

①(Wanting your mom to cook) Mom, I’m hungry.
