7).Asking Favors1 求助

            When you ask for things, it is important to be polite. The
            intonation2 that you use in making your request3 is as important as
            what you actually say. When you think someone will refuse your
            request, you can ask the question in such a way that the refusal4
            does not cause embarrassment5.

            1. A: Is there any chance of my borrowing your type-writer?
            B: For how long?
            A: Until the end of the week.
            B: Yes, I guess that would be all right.

            2. A: Would you mind if I borrowed your car?
            B: Well, when exactly?
            A: Until Monday or Tuesday of next week.
            B: I'm sorry, but it's just not possible.

            3. A: Do you think you could lend me some of your records?
            B: Until when?
            A: Oh, just over the holidays.
            B: I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it.

            4. A: I was wondering if you'd let me stay with you for a few days.
            B: It really depends on when.
            A: Until next weekend, if that's OK.
            B: Let me think it over, and I'll let you know later
