[00:-0.50]"Just Ask"----edit by crazysimon
[00:01.42]If you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask. 如果你不明白的話,一定要毫不遲疑地發問.
[00:05.17]Some Chinese seem to feel that it is impolite to ask questions even when they don't quite understand.有些中國人以為提問題是不禮貌的,即使在他們不是十分明白的時候.
[00:14.41]However,然而,
[00:16.72]it's much better to say that you don't understand than to pretend you understand and answer very vaguely.你直言不懂比假裝而含糊地回答要來得好.
[00:21.27]When you don't understand or haven't caught what was said,當你不明白或弄不清對方說什么時,
[00:24.83]you may ask by saying any of the following:你可以用以下方式來提問:
[00:28.46]"I beg your pardon?" "你能再說一遍嗎?"
[00:31.65]"I'm not clear on what you said." "我沒聽清你說什么."
[00:33.29]"I'm afraid I don't understand you.“恐怕我不明白你的意思。
[00:36.45]Would you mind saying it again?" 你介意再說一次嗎？”
[00:37.69]"I'm sorry I don't follow you."“很抱歉我不明白你的意思?！?[00:40.77]"Could you repeat that?" “你能重復一遍嗎？”
[00:42.24]"I didn't get it."“我沒有聽懂?！?[00:44.20]You'll improve your understanding and the speaker will be happy to make his point again! 這樣能增進你的理解，而且說話者也樂意把他的要點重復一遍 。
