Would like (A1)

想要某个东西时，用 would like，这是一种礼貌的说法。（I'd like = I would like。）

I'd like 一个东西

• I'd like a coffee, please.
• She'd like two tickets.
• We'd like a table for four.
• 试一试: ___ a tea, please. (I'd like / I'd like to / I would to like) 答案: I'd like — 茶是个东西，所以 I'd like 后面直接接东西就行。只有动作前面才加 to，东西前面不用。

I'd like to 做某事

想做某个动作时，在动词原形前用 would like to。别忘了加 to。

• I'd like to order now.
• She'd like to speak to you.
• They'd like to book a room.
• Not "I'd like order now." — say "I'd like to order now.". 动作前面一定要有 to：I'd like to order。
• 试一试: ___ two sandwiches, please. (I'd like to order / I'd like order / I'd to like order) 答案: I'd like to order — "Order" 是个动作，所以前面要加 to：I'd like to order。而且 to 永远不会插在 would 和 like 中间。

东西还是动作？

看看后面接的是什么。东西直接放在 I'd like 后面。动作前面要加 to。

• I'd like a sandwich. → a thing, so no to
• I'd like to order now. → an action, so to comes first
• I'd like a soda. → a thing
• Not "I'd like order now." — say "I'd like to order now.". 动作前面要加 to，东西前面不用。
• 试一试: Waiter: Here is your table, or you can sit outside. Wei: ___ sit outside, please. 选出合适的说法： (I'd like to / I'd like / I like to) 答案: I'd like to — Sit 是动作，所以前面要加 to：I'd like to sit outside。不带 to 的 I'd like 是用在东西前面的，I like to 说的是平时，不是现在。

提议：Would you like...?

想礼貌地问别人要不要什么，就把 would 放最前面：Would you like...?

• Would you like a coffee?
• Would you like to sit down?
• What would you like?
• 试一试: ___ a sandwich? (Would you like / You would like / Do you would like) 答案: Would you like — 问别人要不要的时候，would 放在最前面：Would you like a sandwich? would 前面不用加 "do"。

No, thank you.

想拒绝别人的好意，就说 No, thank you. 或 No, thanks. 既简短又礼貌。

• Would you like some tea? → No, thank you.
• Would you like a bag? → No, thanks.
• Would you like to sit down? → No, thank you. I'm fine.
• Not "Would you like some tea? → I wouldn't like tea." — say "Would you like some tea? → No, thank you.". 要拒绝别人的好意就用 No, thank you. 这里说 "I wouldn't like" 听起来很别扭。
• 试一试: Hiroshi: Would you like some cake? Sofia: ___ I'm full. 选出 Sofia 的回答。 (No, thank you. / No, I wouldn't like. / No, I don't like.) 答案: No, thank you. — 要拒绝别人的好意，就说 No, thank you. "I wouldn't like" 和 "I don't like" 后面都得接一样东西，而且英语里也不会用它们来拒绝。

实战演练

在咖啡馆里，这三样你现在都会了。用 Can I have 来点东西，用 I'd like 回应别人的提议，用 No, thank you. 来拒绝。

• Can I have a sandwich, please?
• What would you like? → I'd like a salad, please.
• Would you like a soda? → No, thank you.
• 试一试: Waiter: Would you like fries with that? Wei: No, thank you. But ___ a salad? 选出 Wei 要说的话。 (can I have / I like / would you like) 答案: can I have — Wei 不要薯条，接着想点别的。在咖啡馆点东西，就用 can I have 再加上那样东西。Would you like 是服务员说的话，不是 Wei 说的；I like 并没有在要任何东西。

I like coffee 和 I'd like a coffee

I like 说的是你平时喜欢什么。I'd like 说的是你现在想要什么，而且很礼貌。一个小小的 'd 就改变了意思。

• I like coffee. → every day, in general
• I'd like a coffee, please. → now, at this counter
• I like salad, but today I'd like a sandwich.
• Not "A waiter asks what you want and you answer I like a coffee." — say "A waiter asks what you want and you answer I'd like a coffee.". I like 说的是平时，I'd like 说的是现在，所以点单时要用它。
• 试一试: Waiter: Good afternoon. Are you ready to order? Hiroshi: Yes. ___ an orange juice, please. 选出合适的说法： (I like / I'd like / I am liking) 答案: I'd like — 服务员问的是 Hiroshi 现在想要什么，说“现在想要”就用 I'd like。I like 告诉服务员的是他平时喜欢什么，回答不了这个问题。
