以下是亨利的其中一个问题：
Greetings VOA Learning English team.
向VOA英语学习团队致以问候。
I am a regular listener of your learning English program....
我是你们学英语节目的忠实听众。
I would like to ask this question about the correct or proper way to summon someone (i.e., asking someone to come and see you .... at home, school or work) in English:
我想问一下，在英语中召唤某人（即叫某人过来见你……在家里、学校或工作场所）的正确或恰当方式是什么：
What expressions are used in summoning someone?
召唤某人时使用哪些表达方式？
Thank you for your question, Henry.
谢谢你的提问，亨利。
It is an important and useful one.
这是一个重要且有用的。
To summon means to call for a person or persons to be present, often for an important meeting.
召唤意味着要求一个人或多人到场，通常是为了一个重要会议。
Please note that there are many ways to summon others.
请注意，召唤他人的方式有很多种。
In this lesson, we will present a few general ways.
在本课中，我们将介绍几种通用的方法。
Summoning others directly
直接召唤他人
When we speak to others directly, we can summon them with the following:
当我们直接与他人交谈时，我们可以用以下方式召唤他们：
Could you come here, please?
你能过来一下吗？
We might also be more exact about the meeting place.
我们也可以更确切地说明会面地点。
For example, a supervisor or principal might say:
例如，主管或校长可能会说：
Could you come to my office, please?
你能来一下我的办公室吗？
You might also be more exact with what you would like to do.
你可能也会更明确地表达你想做什么。
For example, you might ask:
例如，你可能会问：
Could I talk to you for a moment?
我能和你聊一会儿吗？
These questions are very general, polite, and useful in a lot of situations.
这些问题非常通用、礼貌，在很多场合都很有用。
But the way in which we summon others can differ depending on the situation, how familiar people are with each other, and the rank or status the speakers have.
但我们召唤他人的方式会因情境、人们彼此的熟悉程度以及说话者的等级或地位而有所不同。
For example, consider a situation at home or school.
例如，考虑一下家里或学校的情况。
A parent or teacher might summon a child or student with language like this:
家长或老师可能会用这样的语言召唤孩子或学生：
Come over here!
过来这里！
Generally, this kind of a summons is followed by scolding, or criticism.
一般来说，这种传唤之后往往伴随着责骂或批评。
Summoning others indirectly
间接召唤他人
So far, we have considered how English speakers might directly summon another person.
到目前为止，我们已经探讨了英语使用者如何直接召唤另一个人。
But what do we say if we ask another person to communicate the information for us?
但如果我们请另一个人替我们传达信息，该怎么说呢？
When an intermediary communicates the information, they might use the very general formula:
当中介传达信息时，他们可能会使用非常通用的公式：
_____ would like to see you.
有人想见你。
____ wants to see you.
有人想见你。
We can use an example to clarify this point.
我们可以用一个例子来阐明这一点。
Boss: Tanya, could you ask Joe to come see me?
老板：塔尼娅，你能让乔来见我吗？
Tanya: Sure.
塔尼娅：当然。
Tanya: Joe, the boss would like to see you.
坦尼娅：乔，老板想见你。
Joe: Ok.
乔：好的。
I’ll be there right away.
我马上就到。
Our examples can be used in a number of situations.
我们的示例可用于多种情况。
At school, a teacher might say, “The principal would like to see you” or “The principal wants to see you.”
在学校里，老师可能会说：“校长想见你”或者“校长要见你”。
At home, a brother or sister might say, “Mom would like to see you” or “Mom wants to see you.”
在家里，哥哥或姐姐可能会说：“妈妈想见你”或“妈妈要见你。”
English speakers usually consider the structure “would like” to be a little more polite and formal.
英语使用者通常认为“would like”这一结构更礼貌、更正式一些。
