Ⅰ.Introduction
Usually， a speech act is created when speaker/writer S makes an utterance U to hearer/reader H in context C. Under Searle’s taxonomy， speech act are universally grouped into five types： （i） representatives or assertives; （ii） directives including requests; （iii） commissives; （iv） expressives including apologizing; （v） declarations. （Searle 1979： 2-8） Request and apology are two common speech acts in our daily life. However their realization patterns can be greatly different in Chinese and English because of cultural differences.
Ⅱ.Theoretical Framework
1.Request and Its Realization Strategies. Searle （1969： 66） described request as a directive speech act which is considered as an attempt to get the hearer to do an act. Requests are by definition face-threatening acts （Brown and Levinson， 1978）. According to Trosborg（1995： 205）， the taxonomy of request realization strategies are as follows：
Categories Request strategies example
Direct Obligation You must/have to lend me your car.
Performative I would like to ask you to lend me your car.
Imperative Lend me your car（， please）.
Conventionally indirect（hearer-based） Ability Can/could you lend me your car？
Willingness Would you lend me your car？
Permission May I borrow your car？
Suggestory formula How about lending me your car？
Conventionally indirect（speaker-based） Wishes I would like to borrow your car.
Desires/needs I want/need to borrow your car.
Indirect Hints I have to be at the airport in half an hour.
