      As you can see from the above examples, a suggestion can take the form of an invitation (e.g. Let's......., Shall We......), or a question seeking the other person's opinion (e.g. How about.....? What about......?) or advice (e.g. I think you'd better......, If I were you, I'd.......)
      從以上例句可以看到，建議可以用邀請的形式（如Let's.....，Shall we.....）或以問題的形式（如How about......? What about......?）或忠告的方式（如I think you'd better......，If I were you，I'd......）表達出來。
