中国人说英语没礼貌吗？
<p> 中国人的英语以<span word="Chinglish">Chinglish</span>闻名于世;中国人最大的英语发音问题就是没有连读，但这都不是最主要的语言问题。老外们时常议论，很多中国人在说英语时，听起来没有礼貌;并不是这些中国人本身没礼貌，而是他们还没有习惯英语的礼貌表达方式。</p><p> 比如，中国人在餐厅或咖啡厅，会说：我想要一个汉堡包或者我想要一杯咖啡。但是，如果直接把这些话翻译成英语<span word="I">I</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hamburger">hamburger</span>. 或 <span word="I">I</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="coffee">coffee</span>. 老外们会觉得这样说话很没有礼貌，当然他们也不会直接告诉你。而在西方国家，老外们一般会说：<span word="Could">Could</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hamburger">hamburger</span>, <span word="please">please</span>? 或 <span word="Can">Can</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="coffee">coffee</span>, <span word="please">please</span>? </p><p> 再比如，中国人在拒绝别人邀请的午宴或晚宴时，会说：抱歉，我不能去，我还有别的安排。翻译成英文就是<span word="Sorry">Sorry</span>，<span word="I">I</span> <span word="cant">cant</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="appointment">appointment</span>. 如果这样说，那别人第二次也许不会再邀请你了。老外们一般会这样说：<span word="That">That</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="idea">idea</span>! <span word="I">I</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="join">join</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="appointment">appointment</span> <span word="today">today</span>.</p><p> 我们可以从中总结一些有礼貌的技巧：</p><p> 1、西方人(主要指有一定修养的欧美人)在与他人交流时，比较多地使用情态动词：<span word="can">can</span>、<span word="could">could</span>、<span word="may">may</span>、<span word="might">might</span>、<span word="would">would</span>等等;情态动词(<span word="Modal">Modal</span> <span word="Verbs">Verbs</span>)又称为情态助动词(<span word="Model">Model</span> <span word="Auxil">Auxil</span>-<span word="iaries">iaries</span>)，表示说话人的语气，可表达建议、要求、可能和意愿等，使得说话的语气比较有礼貌;</p>
