2021年BEC商务英语情景对话例句：选择礼物

Choosing a gift 选择礼物

Janet: And how's my favourite shop assistant today?

Tim: Oh! Good morning, Janet! It's assistant manager actually.

Janet: So sorry, darling, assistant manager. Now, I do hope you can help me. I'm looking for a very special gift for a very special person.

Tim: I'm sure we can help you there madam. Is it for a gentleman or a lady?

Janet: A gentleman. Fine jewellery looks so lovely on a man, don't you agree?

Tim: In that case, let me show you these cuff-links... and here are some very nice tie-clips.

Janet: Those watches look rather nice.

Tim: Err, yes... but the latest model isn't available, and it's important to have the latest model, don't you think?

Janet: Not necessarily. I always say that style is more important than fashion.

Negative questions at the end of sentences 句尾的附加问句

In everyday conversations, English speakers sometimes use negative questions at the end of sentences, especially when they are giving their opinions.

Janet says:

'Fine jewellery looks so lovely on a man, don't you agree? '

Tim says:

'...it's important to have the latest model, isn't that so? '

This type of question helps to keep the conversation going by inviting the listener to agree with the speaker, or to give their own opinion.

Other questions which have this function are:

...don't you think?

...don't you think so?

...isn't that right?

...wouldn't you agree?

Replying to negative questions 如何回答附加问句

The speaker does not have to give a direct answer to this type of question, but usually responds to the idea behind the question.

When Janet says:

'Fine jewellery looks so lovely on a man, don't you agree? '

Tim's answer is:

' In that case, let me show you these cuff-links?'

Sometimes the speaker will give a direct reply to the question.

'It's important to have the latest model, isn't that so? '

Janet's answer is:

' Not necessarily. I always say that style is more important than fashion. '
