could
是can
的过去式,
你举得这个例子是比较礼貌的问法。
在这种情况下could
和can
是可以换来用的,
could
语气比较缓和,can是比较强硬的

can,
could

的区别与联系。
1.
can的过去式是could,但could
除了可作can的过去式外,还可表比can更委婉的语气,因此在回答由could
表示请求的问句中,不能用could,但可用can。如:
—Could
you
lend
me
a
hand?
—Of
course
I
can.
2.
在表示现在或过去的智力、体力、技能等方面的“能力”时,can,
could
常可与be
able
to互换。如:
?/P>
He
could
(or
was
able
to)
swim
five
miles
when
he
was
a
boy.
3.
be
able
to有比can更多的形式,如"will
be
able
to","have
(has)
been
able
to"
"had
been
able
to"
等等。因此be
able
to常被用来表示can所不能表示的将来或完成的概念。如:
?/P>
They
will
be
able
to
run
this
machine
on
their
own
in
three
months. 他们过三个月就能自己开这台机器了。
4.
在表示成功地做了某事时,不用could,而用was
/
were
able
to
(或managed
to,
succeeded
in
doing
sth
)来表示。如:
He
was
able
to
(or
managed
to)
finish
the
job
yesterday。
但是couldn't和wasn't
/
weren't
able
to
常可互换。如:
I
couldn't
/
wasn't
able
to
finish
the
job
yesterday.
5.
与感觉动词连用时,can,could亦可与be
able
to互换。如:
We
could/were
able
to
smell
something
burning
in
the
kitchen.
