— Yes, you can.(不能用Yes, you could.)
— Sorry, you can’t.(不能用Sorry, you couldn’t.)
注意
使用 could只是让请求更礼貌,但仍要注意说话时的语气和态度,面带微笑、语调温和会让你的请求更易被接受。
例如:Could I stay up a little later to finish this movie?
我可以晚点睡把这部电影看完吗?
肯定回答:Yes, you can. But don't stay up too late.可以,但别熬太晚。
否定回答:No, you can't. You have to get up early tomorrow.不行,你明天得早起。
