別再只會說 Can you help me?！想知道如何用英文禮貌地說「不好意思，想請教一下」嗎？本文教你在會議、Email 和日常對話中正確提問，讓你的專業度大加分！
引起注意的方式:
- 舉手 (Raise your hand)
- 在視訊會議中使用"舉手"功能 (Use the "raise hand" feature in video meetings)
- 等待發言空檔 (Wait for a pause in the conversation)
- 在聊天室中打字表示你有問題 (Type in the chat that you have a question)
常見提問表達 :
禮貌性引導語:
- "Excuse me, may I ask a question?"
(不好意思，我可以問個問題嗎？) - "I have a question, if you don't mind."
(如果您不介意，我有個問題。) - "Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to ask something."
(抱歉打斷，但我想問一件事。) - "Could I jump in with a quick question?"
(我可以插入一個簡短的問題嗎？)
正式會議中的提問:
- "I'd like to raise a question regarding..."
(我想就...提出一個問題。) - "Could you elaborate further on...?"
(您可以進一步詳述...嗎？) - "I was wondering if you could clarify..."
(我想知道您是否能澄清...) - "May I ask for more details about...?"
(我可以請您提供更多關於...的細節嗎？)
非正式會議中的提問 :
- "Can I ask about...?"
(我能問一下關於...嗎？) - "I'm curious about..."
(我很好奇...) - "Quick question about..."
(關於...的簡短問題) - "Just wondering about..."
(只是想知道關於...)
特定情境的提問:
當你需要澄清(問清楚)時:
- "Could you please explain what you mean by...?"
(您可以解釋一下您所說的...是什麼意思嗎？) - "I'm not sure I understand. Could you go over that again?"
(我不確定我理解了。您能再說一遍嗎？) - "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it?"
(抱歉，我沒有完全聽懂。您能重複一下嗎？)
當你想深入探討某個主題時:
- "I'd like to know more about the implications of..."
(我想了解更多關於...的影響。) - "Could we dive deeper into...?"
(我們能更深入討論...嗎？) - "What are your thoughts on how this affects...?"

中文學習者常犯的錯誤:
錯誤用法:
- 直接提問而不先引導 (例如：突然說 "Why you choose this plan?") ❌
- 使用過於直接的語氣 (例如："I don't agree, explain more.") ❌
正確用法:
- "If I may, I'd like to ask why this plan was chosen." ✓
(如果可以的話，我想請問為什麼選擇了這個計劃。) - "I'm not sure I fully understand the rationale. Could you explain a bit more?" ✓
(我不確定我完全理解其中的原因。您能多解釋一點嗎？)
練習範例:
- 你想了解更多關於一個新專案：
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask for more information about the timeline for this new project."
(不好意思，我想請問關於這個新專案的時程表的更多資訊。) - 你不理解剛才介紹的技術概念：
"Sorry to interrupt, but could you please clarify how the new system integrates with our existing infrastructure?"
(抱歉打斷，但您能夠解釋一下新系統如何與我們現有的基礎設施整合嗎？) - 你想問關於會議後的後續步驟：
"I have a quick question about the next steps after this meeting. Who will be responsible for coordinating these actions?"
(我有個關於會議後續步驟的小問題，誰將負責協調這些行動？)
