词组 | Mr |
释义 | Mr • Sir - Can I help you, Sir? (Not *Mr*) (Sir is the form of address to a man whose name you don't know, e.g. a customer. It is used instead of Mr + surname from a junior to a senior person: e.g. in organizations and schools. In AmE Sir is commonly used to address a male stranger or acquaintance. We can begin a letter to a man we don't know with Dear Sir, not *Dear Mr*. In BrE, Sir + first name may be used to address a titled man. We can say Sir John or Sir John Smith, but not *Sir Smith*) - Good morning, Mr Smith. (Not *Good morning, Mr* *Good morning, Mr John.*) (Mr is the written form of Mister, we use it in front of a surname, but never in front of a first name. A full stop after Mr to mark an abbreviation is optional; the modern tendency is to leave it out) |
