Asking for information can be as simple as asking for the time, or as complicated as asking for details about a complicated process. In both cases, it's important to use the appropriate form for the situation. For example, when asking for information from a friend, use a more informal or colloquial form. When asking a colleague, use a slightly more formal form, and when asking for information from a stranger, use an appropriately formal construction.
询问信息可以像询问时间一样简单，也可以像询问复杂过程的细节一样复杂。在这两种情况下，使用适当的形式是很重要的。例如，当向朋友询问信息时，使用较为非正式或口语化的形式。当询问同事时，使用稍微正式一点的形式，当询问陌生人的信息时，使用适当的正式结构。
