Words and expressions:
1）请求帮助：能帮我看一下这里吗？我要去拿我的钱包 Can you just watch my space while I run and, uh, grab my wallet? 你能帮我占着这里吗？Do you mind just holding my space? 你能让巴士等一下我么？Can you just tell the bus to wait? 这几句都是在向陌生人提出请求，不太难的用Can you..., 难一点的可以问人家是否介意Do you mind ...? 看着位置watch my space，占着位置hold my space
2）回应他人的请求：Don't worry about it 放心吧
3）拒绝他人的请求：这里女警察再多次说了sorry之后又说了这句，I hate it. I hate it. I hate this moment. 我讨厌这个时候，即我也不想这样，没有办法。本剧这一集还有另外一句关于回绝的表达，Morally, I would feel really bad. （参见文章1. Meeting new people 初次见面）可理解为我也心里过意不去，但是不行。
4）Hey, girl-to-girl, can I just talk to you real quick? 这里real quick即very quickly的俚语
5）It has everything I own in it. 我的东西都在那里面
6）There is a policy that if anyone... 有个政策是...
7）That is so extreme. 这太极端了（不至于吧）
8）baggage claim 机场的行李领取处

如何求助他人，如何回应他人的求助，如何拒绝他人的求助
