Could I have a knife and fork? 我可以要一副刀叉吗? A Are you having difficulty with your chopsticks? A 你用筷子有困难吗? B I'm sorry. I haven't used chopsticks very often. B 很抱歉。我不经常用筷子。 A Let me show you how to hold them. A 让我示范给你看。 B Like this? Oh, dear, I've dropped one. It’s quite difficult when you are not used to them. B 像这样?噢,天哪!我弄掉了一只。当你不习惯用筷子的时候这太难了。 A Never mind, we'll get some more. A 不必介意。我们再多要一些。 B I'm sorry. I hope I'm not rude but could I have a knife and fork, do you think? B 对不起。我希望我这样说不算无礼,我可以要一副刀叉吗? Notes注释 1 If someone needs help, for example, holding chopsticks, you can offer help: Let me show you how to hold them. / Let me show you how to hold them. 如果某人需要帮助,例如,如何拿筷子,你可以主动帮忙:Let me show you how to hold them. /让我示范给你看。 2 Although one never wants to be rude, sometimes it's necessary to ask for special help, for example; I'm sorry. / I'm sorry. I hope I'm not rude but could I have a knife and fork? / I hope I'm not rude but could I have a knife and fork? 尽管你不想表现得无礼,但有时请求特殊的帮助也是必要的,例如:I'm sorry. /对不起。I hope I'm not rude but could I have a knife and fork? /我希望我这样说不算无礼,我可以要一副刀叉吗?
