    I would say no. Ni3 yao4 你要 means "you want", and can be followed by a verb or a noun: 你要咖啡嗎？Do you want some coffee? 你要看一下嗎？Do you want to have a look? It is used to express a volition or a wish. Ni3 yuan4 yi4 你願意 means "you are willing to", and can only be followed by a verb: 你願意看一下嗎？Are you willing to have a look? But 你願意咖啡嗎？ does not make sense You can also see the nuance in the example above between 你要看一下嗎？ and 你願意看一下嗎？

    我覺得最口語化的譯法： When you were at university, did you have to get (or "were you required to get") Level 5 or above in HSK?

    Writing should not cause that much problem because the differences in spelling are minor. Speech can be another story, though - it really depends on which accent the other person has, and how much exposure one has to "foreign" speakers. I think a typical American can understand Received Pronunciation pretty well, and a Brit can understand Standard American English without too much trouble because of all the Hollywood films. A case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIshUJUvdbo My mother tongue is not English, but I grew up in Canada. I went to the UK without too much of a language barrier (Manchester, London and Edinburgh - they all have their distinctive accents). But I have heard the Newfoundland accent (that's a Canadian accent, even!) and an Irish accent, and I could only understand half of what's going on.

    To me, it sounds more natural if you say: "We had a good time in the countryside last weekend" You can also say "spend a good amount of time" or "spend a good deal of time" if you spend a substantial amount of time doing a task, but I don't think that's what you mean here.

    麻煩你請幫我一下

    How do you say it ?

    (In Chinese you can say "你可不可以⋯", but a more direct and a more natural-sounding way is simply to use 請 or 麻煩你⋯)

    1.ask a clerk to show you a camera.
    請問一下 你可以給我看一看過我的那台照相機嗎？

    2.ask a friend to close the door when he leaves.
    你出去的時候 可以幫我關上門（or 把門關上）嗎？

    3.ask your roommate to turn on the light.
    可以幫我開燈嗎？

    4.ask a classmate not to forget to bring the book to school the next day.
    明天你不要忘記把這本書拿走到學校去。

    5.ask your roommate to wash the fruit.
    請你把這個水果洗一洗。

    （「你」可以省去）


    我的英文能力不好 所以應該是不瞭解英文的內容 不好意思。

    Traduire de l'anglais au français

    En ce moment je lis d'un ancien livre de 1950 par WFH WHITMARSH.
    il n'y a pas des réponses dans le livre!

    Oui, nous sommes allés au cinéma cet après-midi. Nous avons pris le bus au coin de la rue et nous sommes arrivés en ville à 14h 15. Comme il faisait beau, il y a avait beaucoup de monde gens sur les rues.
    Nous sommes allés entrées au cinéma à 14h 30. Nous avons vu un film très amusant et nous avons beaucoup ri.
    Au cinéma, une fille vendait a vendu des bonbons et des glaces. Nous l'avons appelée???? et nous avons acheté des bonbons délicieux qui que nous avons mangés ??? lorsque nous regardions avons regardé le film. Nous sommes sortis du cinéma à 17h et arrivés arriver à la maison à 18h moins le quart.

    Here is the passage that I translated:

    Yes, we went to the cinema this afternoon. We caught the bus at the corner of the street and arrived in town at quarter past two. As it was fine there were a lot of people in the streets. We went into the cinema at half past two. We saw a very amusing film and we laughed a good deal. In the cinema a girl was selling sweets and ices. We called her and we bought some delicious sweets which we ate while we were watching the film. We came out of the cinema at five o clock and got home at a quarter to six.

    Merci en avance pour vos aides.
