Hello, I'm Jade. What we're talking about today is suggestions -- giving advice to people.
大家好，我是Jade，今天我们来讲一下提建议——给别人建议。
And we have one question to work with, which is: "What should I do when visiting London?"
我们会用一个问题来讲，“我去伦敦旅游的时候应该干什么呢？”
Well, I am a Londoner, I can give you some advice about that.
我是伦敦人，我能给你们点意见。
So we'll look at the grammar structures you can use for giving advice, and a little bit later, some phrases that you can use if you need to give somebody advice.
我们先来看看提建议的时候用到的语法结构，然后会再来学习一些提建议可以用的短语。
So, the first way to do it: "You should go on the London Eye."
第一种方法："You should go on the London Eye."
And in this grammar structure, what we're using is: "should"+bare infinitive.
这个结构中，我们用的是"should"+不带to的不定式。
"Should", bare infinitive, and then you can just finish the sentence.
"Should"，不带to的不定式，然后你就可以完成句子了。

Here's another option: "You should walk along the river."
还可以这么说："You should walk along the river."
Well, you can do that anywhere, not specifically London.
在哪都可以这么干，不一定非得是伦敦。
Let's take a look now at the second way to give suggestions: "How about" - you can start a sentence with: "How about" - "How about going for a stroll?"
我们来看看提建议的第二种方法："How about" - 你可以用"How about"来开头- "How about going for a stroll?"
A stroll is a very slow, relaxed kind of walk.
Stroll是指那种很慢、很放松的散步。
Actually, I do really like walking around places, the countryside and the city, so I would recommend that.
实际上，我确实很喜欢到处溜达溜达，无论是在乡村还是城市，所以我很推荐这一条。
When we're using: "How about", the grammar is different.
我们在用"How about"的时候，语法有所不同。
We use verb +"ing" and the other word for that is the gerund form. "How about", verb+"ing".
我们会用动词ing+其他词，因为那是动名词形式，"How about verb+ing?"
So: "How about going for a stroll?"Or: "How about watching a musical?"
那么就是"How about going for a stroll?"或者"How about watching a musical?"
A lot of people do that when they come to London, they go to see...they go to the theatre and watch a show.
很多人来伦敦的时候都回去剧院看演出。
Suggestion number three for grammar: "Why don't you..."
第三条提建议的方法是："Why don't you..."
"Why don't you", we use a negative to stress the great suggestion that we're making, "Why don't you go to Madame Tussaud's?"
"Why don't you"，我们在这里用了否定式来突出强调建议，“你为什么不去看看杜莎夫人蜡像馆呢？”
A very popular tourist destination in London that, personally, I just don't get.
那是伦敦一个非常有名的经典，实际上我个人不太喜欢。
Why would you pay to go and look at wax work models of random famous people from anywhere in the world that don't have anything to do with London?
为什么要花钱去看那些世界各地名人的蜡像，这些人跟伦敦又毫无关系。
Sorry, if you like that. I just personally don't get it.
如果你喜欢那些的话，那很抱歉，我只是个人不喜欢而已。
"Why don't you go to", if we're using: "Why don't you", we have the subject: "Why don't you".
"Why don't you go to"，如果用"Why don't you"，那么宾语是you。
So it might be: "Why doesn't he", or: "Why don't they", and then bare infinitive.
也可以是"Why doesn't he"，"Why don't they"，然后接不带to的不定式。
"Why doesn't he go to Madame Tussaud's", for example, you can say that.
比如说"Why doesn't he go to Madame Tussaud's"，你可以这么说。
And the fourth structure for making a suggestion is the second conditional and we usually use this phrase: "If I were you"
第四个提建议的结构是第二条件句，我们会用短语"If I were you"表示，
"If I were you", I'm imagining me being you visiting London - "If I were you, I would have tea at The Ritz."
就是想象如果我是你在游伦敦的话，“如果我是你，我会到丽思去喝茶。”
The Ritz is a famous hotel in London.
丽思是伦敦非常有名的酒店。
You can go for afternoon tea, you can have champagne and scones or scones, and you can have a lovely time at The Ritz.
你可以去喝个下午茶，喝点儿香槟吃烤饼，你在丽思会过的很不错。
So, how do we make the second conditional?
那么我们怎么用第二条件句呢？
We have the past simple, but you can just learn this phrase: "If I were you," followed by: "would" and bare infinitive, "would", bare infinitive there.
我们有一般过去时，但是你也可以学这个短语，"If I were you"后面跟"would"+不太to的不定式。
And, yeah, there are four different ways to make suggestions in grammar.
好了，这就是提建议的四种不同语法结构。
When we come back, I've got some phrases for you, you can also use those phrases to make suggestions.
我们回来的时候，我会再教给你一些短语，你可以用这些短语提建议。
It's time to look at the phrases for making suggestions.So, here's the question: "What should we do tonight?"
好了，该看看短语部分了。问题是"What should we do tonight?"
You might say...If someone's making a suggestion, most of the time, people don't just like suddenly jump in with their desire, the thing that they really want to do; might be quite indirect.
你可以说……如果有人想要提建议，大部分情况下人们不会突然说出自己真正想要做的事，他们可能会绕个弯子。
So, and sometimes people say something like this: "I'm easy." It means: "You decide, I'd rather you decide."Or: "It's up to you."
有时候人们会说："I'm easy." 意思就是“你来决定就好”。或者说"It's up to you."
It's the same, means: "Okay, I want to do something, but you can decide for me."
一样的，意思都是：“我想要做某件事，但是你也可以为我做决定。”
Or even if they don't mean that, they might say that first of all and let the discussion about what to do happen a little bit more.
或者即便他们不是真的这么想，他们也可能会先这么说，然后让讨论进行下去。
Next phrase: "Would you mind if we stay home?"
下一个，"Would you mind if we stay home?"
Just being a little bit boring, or tired, or not feeling well, we don't want to do anything.
有点儿无聊，或者累了，再或者感觉不是太好，我们什么事都不想做。
"Would you mind", it's like: "I know you want to do something, but would you mind if tonight we don't do anything?"
"Would you mind"，就像说：“我知道你想做什么事，但是你介不介意今天晚上我们什么都不做？”
Next one: "Would you mind having a night in?"When we're not using: "if", then we need to use the gerund after "mind", "Would you mind".
下一个，"Would you mind having a night in?"如果我们不用if，那么在mind后面就要用动名词。
"Would you mind having a night in?" - "A night in" is opposite to: "A night out".
"Would you mind having a night in?" - 反义词是"a night out"。
For a night out, you go to a club or...Or out for dinner, or you go and play chess; whatever you do.
在外面过一晚上，你可以去酒吧或者……出去吃饭，或者你出去下个棋。
So a night in, you probably stay home, watch TV, watch a film, maybe have a bottle of wine or something.
在家里过一晚上的话，就是待在家里，看电视，看电影，或者喝点儿酒什么的。
I don't know what you do, but that's a night in.
我不知道你会做什么，但就是在家里。
Next phrase: "I wouldn't mind going to the pub."Well, now it's a negative.
下一个，"I wouldn't mind going to the pub."这是一个否定。
What this means is...It's quite indirect. It means...It actually means: "I want to go to the pub."
其中的含义比较委婉，意思是“我想去酒吧”。
But we use: "I wouldn't mind". "Oh, of all my options, I wouldn't mind going to the pub."
但是我们用的是:"I wouldn't mind." "Oh, of all my options, I wouldn't mind going to the pub."
Next example: "Let's go ice skating." I love ice skating. I would make this suggestion.It's very direct: "Let's go ice skating."
下一个，"Let's go ice skating." 我喜欢滑冰，我会提这个建议的。很直接，"Let's go ice skating."
I'm...I tend to be quite direct in my language; I'd feel quite comfortable saying: "Let's go ice skating."
我个人说话比较直接，所以我说这句话会觉得挺舒服的。
And if the other person said: "Oh, I can't ice skate, I'm not good at it." I was like...I would be like: "Oh, okay. Do something else."
如果对方说：“我不会滑冰。”我也会直接说：“好吧，那干点儿别的也行。”
I wouldn't be upset if someone refused my suggestion.
如果别人拒绝了我的提议，我不会觉得不舒服。
But some people, they can get embarrassed or something, so those kinds of people sometimes use indirect language.
但是有些人就会觉得尴尬，所以这种时候他们就会用一些比较委婉的话。
They might say: "Would you mind if we go ice skating?"And our last example.
他们可能会说"Would you mind if we go ice skating?"这是我们最后一个例子。
If...This one's indirect as well: "What do you feel like doing?"
这个也比较委婉，"What do you feel like doing?"
So you're not sure; you haven't got any ideas, so you can say to the other person: "What do you feel like doing?"
当你不确定的时候，或者没什么想法，你就可以问其他人：“你想做什么？”。
And you can go from there.So, yeah, this is how to make suggestions about plans and social things to do.
然后你就可以借题发挥了。好了，这就是今天提建议的内容。
What you can do now is go to the website. Go to the website, find this quiz.
你现在可以到网站上去找找今天的测验。
And yeah, you can practice all these different structures we looked at.
你能在上面练习我们今天学习的所有结构。
Make sure you've got all those phrases fixed in your head so that next time you want to make a suggestion to a friend or offer to do something together, you've got all the language that you need.
保证记住这些结构，这样下次你想要提建议或者号召大家一起做点儿什么的时候，你就有话说了。
