注释:
1. How about this one?(这件怎么样?)"How about ...?"是"......怎么样?"的意思,用来征求意见。
例如:
- I don't like the black shirt.(我不喜欢这件黑衬衣。)
- Well, how about the blue one?(蓝色的那件怎么样?)
2."would like to do something"与"want to do something"意义相同,都表示"想做什么"。"would like"比"want"更客气一些。比如:"What would you like to have?"(你想要什么?)比"What do you want to have?"语气更委婉些。
