解析
本题考查英语交际用语中“请求对方放慢语速或重复”的恰当表达。题目场景是“伴侣说话太快跟不上”,需选择礼貌且合适的回应。
选项分析:
-
A. Could you speak more slowly, please?
这是礼貌的请求,直接表达“请你说得慢一点好吗?”,符合“跟不上语速”的场景,且语气委婉,正确。 -
B. Excuse me, but could you say that again?
意为“打扰一下,你能再说一遍吗?”,通常用于“没听清/没听懂”的情况,而题目中“说话太快跟不上”也可能导致没听清,此表达同样适用,且礼貌得体,正确。 -
C. Stop, I didn't catch it.
“停,我没接住”(口语中“没听懂”),但“Stop”语气生硬,不够礼貌,不符合日常交际中对伴侣的委婉表达,错误。 -
D. Slow down! I can't follow you!
“慢下来!我跟不上你!”,虽然语义符合,但“Slow down!”和“I can't follow you!”均为祈使句,语气直接甚至带有命令感,不够礼貌,错误。
