So my suggestion is when you want to ask people for a favour, it\u2019s better to add what the thing is after \u5728\u5417, so that the one has some time to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you two come across on the road, you may ask\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u4f60\u8fd9\u662f\u8981\u53bb\u54ea\u91cc\u554a\uff1f<\/strong>(<strong>n\u01d0 zh\u00e8 sh\u00ec y\u00e0o q\u00f9 n\u01ce l\u01d0 a<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u4f60\u8fd9\u662f\u8981\u53bb\u54ea\u513f\u554a\uff1f<\/strong>(<strong>n\u01d0 zh\u00e8 sh\u00ec y\u00e0o q\u00f9 n\u01cer a<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u8981\u53bb\u54ea\u513f\u554a\uff1f<\/strong>(<strong>y\u00e0o q\u00f9 n\u01cer a<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u5e72\u561b\u53bb\u554a\uff1f<\/strong>(<strong>g\u00e0n ma q\u00f9 a<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Where are you going?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know the variations of \u4f60\u597d.
