二、相同的句子,不同的理解。
同一个句子,在不同文化背景下可能表达不同的意思。比如：“What's wrong with you?”在中文语境下,我们会直接用来询问“你怎么了?”或“哪儿不舒服?”;但在某些英文语境下,这句话可能显得过于直接,人们通常会使用更礼貌的表述方式。
那么,如何用英语更礼貌地询问别人的状况呢?你可以说：“What's the matter?”“Are you OK?”“Is everything all right?”

可以用“What's the matter?”“Are you OK?”“Is everything all right?”等英语表达礼貌地询问别人的状况。

本题考查英语日常交际中礼貌询问他人状况的常用表达，需掌握符合语境的礼貌用语。
