生活口语

Can you come here when you have a second?

你有空时能到这里来一下吗？

Sorry for holding you for so long. What can I do for you?

抱歉让您久等了我能为您做点什么吗？

重点讲解:

When will you be free to come here?

Can you come here when you have a second?

“你有空时能到这里来一下吗？”这句话体现出要求的语气，如果使用疑问词when,是询问对方什么时候有空，与此处要表达的意思不符。同时，短语be free to do sth.的意思是“有空做某事，有时间做某事”，因此这句话也可以说成:Can you come here when you are free?
