今天,我们学习一个可能不太常用到的英语表达:
1. Can I have a lift?
中文是“可以搭个顺风车吗?”
问题是:英语是什么?能中英文都能说,左右开弓,我们的英语口语才算“厉害”:
When we say Can I have lift, we are asking/we are requesting for a ride in someone's car. It means:
Would you please give me a ride (in your car)?
这就是“搭顺风车”的“英语意思”,也算是“英语口语”。
Example:
If you're going to that part of town, can I have a lift?
搭顺风车只是“顺路车”,不一定是a free ride(免费的),所以我们还说:
I'll give you money for gas/gasoline/petrol.
2. I will give you a lift
中文是“我可以捎带你一程”。英语呢?
When we say I can give you a lift, it means I can give you a ride in my car. I'll provide transportation,or a seat for you in my car.
注意:to carpool is different from to take a lift.
