ask
來自中古英語askien<古英語ascian<印歐語詞干ais-希望,想要
ask,inquire這兩個同義詞的差別在于：ask是通用詞,可以表示一般的詢問,而inquire表示“打聽”.此外ask沒有inquire那么正式.
He asked if Mr Gilbert's operation had been successful.
他問吉爾伯特先生的手術(shù)是否成功.
Then Dr Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient.
后來米靈頓醫(yī)生問那位打電話的人他是否是病人的親屬.
When the doctor answered the phone, Mr gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr gilbert.
當(dāng)醫(yī)生接電話時,吉爾伯特先生說,他是在打聽一位叫吉爾伯特先生的病人.
ask,request這兩個詞都能表示“要求”,ask含有期望給以回答或作出反應(yīng)的意思.當(dāng)你覺得所要求的東西會得到時,或者不可能被拒絕時,最好用ask.而request則比ask正式得多,當(dāng)你覺得所要求的東西不會得到時,或者有可能被拒絕時,最好用request, 因此這個詞可以表示謙遜或者客氣.此外,request可以用作名詞,也可以用作動詞

第二天,那位病人要求安裝一個床頭電話.
