中国古语有云：不耻下问。“问”在语言沟通中的重要性，不仅在于它几乎是每一个对话的起点，还在于它带有强烈的主动意识。因此，主动出击，开口问出有水平、有价值的问题，是我们每个人都要努力的。
ask after 探问；问起……的健康情况
Meaning: “to ask after someone” means to seek information about how they are and what they are doing.
小编点拨：对于喜欢嘘寒问暖的我们来说，这个词组就非常实用啦！
＊My wife asked after you.
我妻子问候你。
＊He asked after my mother. He wanted to know how she was doing.
他问起了我妈妈的情况，想知道她近来怎么样了。
ask around 到处询问
Meaning: “to ask around” means to ask several people for help or information.
小编点拨：这个词组表示到处打听，四处询问。以后遇到什么问题，不要忘记ask around啊！
＊Asking around, he discovered that land speculators[投机者] were buying land from innocent crofters[佃户].
各处调查后，他发现土地投机商正向头脑简单的佃户购进土地。
＊When I needed to buy a new car, I asked around and someone offered me this one.
当我想买辆新车时，我到处找人，然后有人把这一辆给了我。
ask for 要；自找麻烦；找（人）
Meaning 1: “to ask for” means to say that you want something.
小编点拨：“想要……”，这是ask for这个词组最基本的意思，也是使用最广泛的。
＊I must remember to ask for a receipt[收据] so that I can get reimbursed[偿还].
我一定要记得要一张收据，这样我就能得到赔偿了。
Meaning 2: “to ask for” can also mean to do something which is likely to lead to trouble or problems.
小编点拨：表示自找麻烦/烦恼，后面通常加trouble或者problem。我们经常听到外国人说“You ask for it!”就是这个意思。
＊If you go to that part of town, you’re asking for trouble. It’s very dangerous there.
如果你去那片城区，你就是自找麻烦。那里太危险了。
Meaning 3: “to ask for someone” means to ask to speak to them.
小编点拨：“找某人，要跟某人对话”。ask for somebody的这个意思比起前两个意思来，对于我们许多读者朋友来讲更加陌生一些，不过它仍然是非常常用的表达方式。
＊If you need anything, ask for Henry. He’ll be able to help you.
如果你需要什么东西，直接跟亨利讲。他会帮你的。
ask sb. in 邀请某人进屋
Meaning：“to ask someone in” means to invite them into the room or your home.
小编点拨：这个词组的意思也是一目了然，不过此处侧重表示受邀请的人正在屋子外面。
＊Don’t leave them standing on the doorstep; ask them in!
别让他们站在门口，快请他们进来！
ask sb. over 邀请某人到家里做客
Meaning: “to ask someone over” means to invite them to come visit you in your home.
小编点拨：这个词组跟ask sb. in意思相近，也是邀请人到家里来，但是没有强调受邀请的人必须是在屋子外面，而是普通的邀请，跟invite同义。
＊I’ll ask her over to dinner next weekend.
我邀请她下个周末过来我家吃晚餐。
ask sb. out 邀请外出；约会
Meaning: “to ask someone out” means to invite them to go somewhere with you; “to ask someone of the opposite sex out” means to invite someone on a date.
小编点拨：邀请某人外出。如果邀请异性外出，就是约会咯！
＊We often invite our friends out for a drink in the pub.
我们经常和朋友们约在酒吧喝东西。
＊She’s so beautiful… Do you think I should ask her out?
她太漂亮了……你觉得我应该约她出去吗？
