borrow v. 借；借用
▶May I borrow your bike?
我可以借用你的自行车吗？
Could you _______ your dictionary to
me?
A. borrow B. lend C. keep D. use
【点拨】选B。句意为：你能借给我你的
字典吗？对主语“你”来说是借出，
lend“借出”，lend sth. to sb. “把某物借
给某人”其反义词是“borrow”。
borrow/lend
borrow和lend都可译为“借”，但用法不
同。
（1）borrow v. “借，借入；借用”，从
主语的角度讲，指“借入”或“借用他人
的东西供自己使用”。常用结构为：
borrow sth. from sb. 或borrow one’s sth.
意为“向某人借某物”。
（2）lend v. “借出；借给”，从主语的角
度讲，表示把自己的东西“借出”给别人
使用。常用结构为：lend sb. sth. 或lend
sth. to sb. 意为“借给某人某物”。
（3）borrow和lend均为非延续性动词，若
表达借某物多长时间时，不能用borrow 或
lend, 而要用keep, 意为“保存；保留”。
用borrow或lend的正确形式填空：
1. He _________
borrowed a book from me, and never
returned it.
2. Can I _________
borrow your bicycle?
3. Joe ________
this car to us for the weekend.
lent
4. I __________

out on rainy days.

不喜欢”, dislike只能跟动词-ing形式，
不能跟动词不定式。

体的动作或行为）

Could you please. . . ? 意为“请你做
……好吗？”，please后接动词原形。
这是用来礼貌地提出请求的句型。could
在这里不表示过去，而是表示委婉的语
气。
—Excuse me, could you help me carry
the heavy box?
— _______.
A. Yes, I could
B. With pleasure
C. It doesn’t matter D. Don’t mention it
【点拨】选B。Could you. . . ? 表示客气
地征求意见或请求许可的询问方式，不能
用could 回答。with pleasure 表示同意，
意为“乐意效劳；愿意帮助”。C、D是
对感谢的回答，不符合语境。
常见表示委婉请求做某事的句型及其答
语：
委婉请求：Could you please+ do sth.?
Could you+ do sth.?
Would you please + do sth.?
Would you + do sth.?
肯定回答：Sure. / Of course. / No
problem. / I’d love to.
否定回答：Sorry. / Sorry, I can’t. / I’d
love to, but. . .

Could you help me?
You could talk to your teacher.
He couldn’t be at the school then.
Could you please clean your room?

在表示请求帮助或请求允许的疑问句中，我们
常用could代替can， 以表示礼貌、委婉或不确
定的语气，而can 则不具有这些语气。这样用
时，不能把could 看作为can 的过去式。
Could you please sweep the floor?
请你……好吗?
这里的could 不是表示一般的过去式, 而是用
来表示委婉地提出请求。
Could you please do sth?
No , I can’t…
Yes, I can.
I have to ---
All right.
“Yes” Sure.
“No”
No problem.
Certainly.
Sorry, I can’t…
I have to ---
1. could表示请求，语气委婉，显得有礼貌
Could you please clean your room?
你可以打扫你的房间吗？
肯定回答：Yes, I can.
是的，我可以。
Yes, sure. / Yes, of course.
否定回答：Sorry, I can’t. I have to do my
homework.
对不起，我不得不做作业。
另外Would you mind doing sth.?也可表示请求
Would you mind cleaning your room?
你介意去打扫你的房间吗？
No. I’d like to.
不，我很乐意。
2. could表示请求许可，希望得到允许。
Could I go to the movies?
我能去看电影吗？
肯定回答：Yes, you can.
Yes, sure.
当然可以。
否定回答：No, you can't.
不，不行。

3. could与can的区别
could与can都是情态动词，could是can的过
去式。二者都可用于表示请求，但是用法稍
有不同。
can表示一般性的请求，语气随便，常用于
熟人之间或长辈对辈、上级对下级的场合；
Can you tell us your story, Tony ?
你能给我们讲讲你的故事吗，Tony？
could表示有礼貌的请求，语气委婉，常用
于非熟人之间或晚辈对长辈、下级对上级的
场合。

Australia?
请告诉我们，澳大利亚冬天下雪吗？
