背景知识⇁
1) 美国人和英国人经常使用礼貌语言,即使是家人之间,彼此也非常客气。一般母亲在就餐前问儿子想吃/喝点什么,用的是“What would you like to have/drink?”,这是比较婉转、客气的说法。类似的说法还有“What do you want to have/eat?”,但这样的语气会显得较为生硬。
2) 告诉对方自己想吃/喝点什么,常用“I’d like to have/drink…”。
3) 面对别人的询问,答语常用“Yes, please. /No, thanks.”。
4) 服务员询问客人是否想点菜时,常说“May I take your order now?/Would you like to order now?”,意为“现在您想点菜了吗?”。

— What do you do? 你从事什么工作?
— I’m a car salesman. 我是汽车推销员。
分析▲“What do you do?”是“What do you do for a living?(你是靠什么来谋生的?
