"I couldn't ask you to do that" nghĩa là gì?

"I couldn't ask you to do that" nghĩa là tôi không muốn nhờ bạn làm việc đó (thật ra là tôi muốn nhưng vẫn phải lịch sự nói thế).

Ví dụ
Oh, I couldn't ask you to do that. If you'll just give me a few directions (phương hướng), I'll make out fine.

Aina: “I couldn't ask you to do that, Luce.”
Lucinda: “You didn't ask. I volunteered (tình nguyện). Now, go. The doctor's waiting for you down on the riverwalk...and you don't want to be late."

And my feelings and love for you—so powerful—that I can't express myself in these mere words. I realize it might seem what I have written is asking you to wait, because I must go slowly, I couldn't ask you to do that. That would be asking too much. I guess you have also realized (nhận ra) I can not let you go. I love you.

A: “If it makes any difference, I could do a couple of pieces on spec (theo may rủi)? You wouldn't have to pay me unless you liked them.”
B: “Oh, I couldn't ask you to do that.”
A: “I don't mind.”
B: “No, I'm sorry, but it's not company protocol (giao thức)."
