情景对话
Bob:This isn't right. Hey! Excuse me, Paul, could you pass me the hammer?

Paul:The spanner?
Bob:No. The hammer!
Paul:Sorry, Bob, I don't understand. This is the spanner!
Bob:No, Paul, I need the hammer. It's in the toolbox, on the left, under the scissors.
Paul:Sorry, Bob. Could you repeat that more slowly, please?

Paul:On the left … under the scissors … Oh! Do you mean the hammer? Is this it?
Bob:Yes, that's right!
Paul:Ah! Why didn't you say so?
Bob:I did!

发音 / 语调提示
Could you...开头的请求句要用上升语调收尾,听起来才客气、像请求而不是命令;马来西亚华人容易把整句读成平调,听起来会显得生硬。I don't understand里 understand 重音在-stand,不是un-,读错重音位置对方可能听成别的词。Is this it?三个词都很短,容易一个字一个字读得太用力;自然说法是把 this it 连读成接近 "this-sit" 的感觉,语调在 it 上略微上扬表示疑问。
