走遍美国精讲笔记【1-26课】LTAlexandra: Oh, she's very pretty.Richard: Thanks.【语言点精讲】1. Would you like some coffee?Would you like...相当于“你想要...吗？”，在客气地请对方做某事或请客时用。

如本文中，Richard问Alexandra“想来一点咖啡吗”，他说"Would you like some coffee?"在谈到自己的书Family Album, U.S.A.时，他问对方“想要看一看吗”，"Would you like to see them?"如果我们不想接受，就说"No, thank you."如果愿意接受，则说"Yes. I'd like that." 或者"Yes. Please."2. Here they are.把东西给别人看时用。

单数时用Here it is.3. Thanks.在本情境中出现的两次"Thanks"都是对于别人赞美的回应。

称赞对方，或对方的家人，是美国人很重要的一种社交习惯，被人称赞时，要表示乐于接受并愉快地感谢，不要急于否认或自贬，也不要表现得扭捏不安。

所以无论是人家说你的英语好--"Your English is very good."，还是称赞你的夫人很漂亮--"Oh, she's very pretty."，都不必不好意思，只要说声"Thank you" 就可以了。

”【故事梗概】Richard问到了Alexandra的家庭及个人情况。
