No doubt we have all been in that situation, however telling someone to hurry up incorrectly could make them upset. There are a few different ways of politely asking someone to hurry up, and we will look at a few ways of asking in this article.
毫无疑问，我们都遇到过这种情况，然而，告诉别人不正确地加快速度可能会使他们感到不安。礼貌地要求某人快点有几种不同的方式，我们将在本文中介绍几种询问方式。

1. Directly asking them to hurry up.
直接让他们快点。

2. Or implying that they should hurry up.
或者暗示他们应该快点。

Let’s look at the direct method and some examples. Parents only use some of these phrases towards their children or employers towards their employees.
让我们看看直接法和一些例子。父母对子女或雇主对雇员只使用其中一些短语。

The Direct Method
直接法

Excuse me, but I am running very late for my next appointment and would appreciate it if you could go quicker./Please, if possible could you move a little faster, I am on a tight schedule today.
对不起，我下一次约会要迟到了，如果你能快点去，我将不胜感激。/请，如果可能的话，你能快点走，我今天的日程很紧。

For Employers
对于雇主

I need you to get a move along./You’re a bit behind schedule and need to get moving./Please, can you speed up, you are holding everyone up!/You need to go faster./Please try to finish up in the next few minutes./We need it no later than the end of (date/time)./You need to have it finished by (time).
我需要你继续前进。/你有点落后，需要前进。/拜托，你能加快速度吗，你让每个人都站起来了！/你需要走得更快。/请在接下来的几分钟内完成。/我们需要它不迟于（日期/时间）结束。/你需要在（时间）之前完成它。

For Parents
对于父母

Get a wriggle on./Please, get a move on./Don’t dawdle./Stop messing around and hurry up.

The Indirect or implying method
间接的或暗示的方法

It looks like you are having some trouble, can I help you maybe?/I don’t have much time today./What seems to be the holdup?/Wow!/Is that the time, I need to a get a move on!/It seems like you need some help with that./Would you like me to assist you?/It doesn’t matter what method you use, the key to saying these phrases is using the correct tone of voice. Too aggressive and you will likely cause an argument, too soft and the person will probably not care or understand your hurry.
你好像有点麻烦，我能帮你吗？/我今天没多少时间了。/怎么回事？/哇！/是时候了，我需要一个行动起来！/看来你需要帮忙。/你要我帮你吗？/不管你用什么方法，说这些短语的关键是用正确的语调。太过咄咄逼人，你很可能会引起争论，太过软弱，人很可能不会在意或理解你的匆忙。

客户：汤姆，我们不能再等一天了。如你所知，我们已停止经营，允许贵公司在约定的时间内完成工作。
