Hi my name is Rebecca and in today's lesson, I'm going to show you how to give advice to someone in a diplomatic way when you're in a personal situation or a professional situation, Okay?
大家好，我是Rebecca。今天我们将学习在私人情况或是工作场合中，以一种外交方式给别人提意见。
Of course, there's many ways in which we can give advice to others, some are nice and some are not very nice. Let's look at some of these possibilities, okay?
当然给别人提意见的方法有很多，一些方法比较友善而有一些则并不是那么友善。下面我们来看一些例子。
Alright, so suppose you think that somebody that you're talking to should go and see the doctor, you could say to them, "Go to the doctor."
假设你认为和你说话的这个人需要去看医生，你会对他们说，“去看医生。”
now that's called an imperative, that's the imperative voice so that's like giving somebody an order,
这样的说话方式和声音，特别像是在命令别人，给别人发号施令，
not very nice, person isn't going to feel very good when you say that, okay?
显得不友善，当你这么说的时候，会给大家一种不好的感觉，不是么？
You could also say, "You should go to the doctor." Now that's a little better than the first one,
你可以这样说，“你应该去看医生。“ 这样的说话方式会比第一个稍微好一些。
but it's still going to sound to the other one like you're telling them what to do and nobody likes too much to feel that somebody is telling them what to do.
但是这听起来仍然有点像是你再告诉别人应该怎么做，而没有人会喜欢这种感觉。
So if you'd like to give advice in a way that's a little bit more diplomatic, a little bit more gentle, you could learn this useful expression.
因此，如果你想以一种更加老练、更加礼貌的方式给别人提意见，那么，你应该学习以下这种有用的表达方式，
You could say, "If I were you, I would go to the doctor." Okay?
你可以说，“如果我是你的话，我会去看医生。”
So what you're learning is this part, if I were you I would and then you add the advice, okay?
你该学习的是这一个部分，如果我是你，我会，然后加上你给出的意见。明白了么？
So let's see how to use this now in different situations.
下面让我们来看看如何在不同情境下使用这个句型。
Let's say you would like to suggest that somebody stop smoking, so you could say, "If I were you, I would stop smoking." Okay?
假设你建议某人戒烟，你可以说，“如果我是你，我会戒烟。”
So you're just saying that you would do that, you're not telling them to do that but indirectly you are in fact telling them to do that, okay?
因此你是在表达你会怎么做，而不是告诉别人该做什么，但事实上这是以一种间接的方式告诉他们该做什么。明白不？
Look for a new job. If I were you, I would look for a new job. Okay?
比如，找工作。如果我是你，我会找份新工作。
If I were you, I would finish university. If I were you, I would accept their offer. If I were you, I would buy that house. Okay?
如果我是你，我会完成学业。如果我是你，我会接受他们的录用。如果我是你，我会买下那间房子。
And if I were you, I would arrive by 6:00 p.m. All right?
以及如果我是你，我会下午6点到。
So by learning this expression, if I were you I would and you just use the verb in the regular tense, right,
因此，这个句型就是“如果我是你+时态动词”这个句型，比如，
I would finish my homework, I would go to school every day, I would eat a healthy breakfast every day. Okey.
我会做完作业，我会每天上学，我会吃健康早餐。
So whatever you want to say, you can say after that but by putting it this way, it's much more likely that your advice will be accepted.
不论你想说什么，你可以将你想说的放在后边。这样的话，人们会更愿意接受你的建议。
And you'll be a lot more polite, okay? So if you'd like to do a quiz on this or many other aspects of English,
而你应该更加礼貌，明白了么？如果你想做下英语方面的小测试，
