Would you like to refresh yourself? 要不要上厕所? (下午,在会议室里,谈话正好告一段落,也到了休息时间。提姆主任请张先生享用咖啡、蛋糕及点心。) Tim: They just brought in refreshments. Please help yourself. 茶点已经准备好了,请用。 Mr.Zhang: Thank you. 谢谢。 张先生想在吃茶点前先去厕所,所以当提姆主任说: Tim: Would you like to refresh yourself? 以为提姆再次请他去享用refreshments(茶点)的张先生说: Mr.Zhang: Thank you, but before that I would like to go to the rest room. 谢谢,但是我想先去洗手间。 Tim: Of course. This way. 请往这边。 (提姆露出诧异的神一边说着,一边告诉张先生厕所的位置。) 【Note】 “Would you like to refresh yourself?”、“Would you like to wash your hands?”与“Would you like to go to the rest room?”是同样的意思,乃委婉地表示“你想不想上厕所?”之意。它另外还有“一鼓作气”的含意。 办公室英语口语谬误(2):She Is Expecting She is expecting. 她怀孕了。 (王小和吉脑积看在公司圣诞派对时拍摄的照片。) Jenny: Barb is doing so well. You know she is expecting in May. 芭比一切都很顺利,在五月。 Ms.Wang: What is she expecting? 她究竟在期待什么啊? Jenny: She told me that she decided not to have it tested. Only God knows. 她说不去检验这个项目,这大概只有天知道吧! (王小被弄得更糊涂了!) 【Note】 王小不知道“expecting”也有“怀孕”的意思。吉妮也没有发现这一点,以为王小说“在期待什么”是在问“是男孩还是女孩”。“test”是指判断婴儿性别的产检。 办公室英语口语谬误(1):I Think I think. 是这样吧。 (林先生注意到的美籍主管,经常会提出部属表现出的地方,并且在适当的时候给予赞美,激发他们做得更好。拜吉姆提的点子所赐,工作进展非常顺利。林先生叫住了吉姆。) Mr.Lin: Jim, your idea really helped us a lot! 吉姆,你的点子真是帮了大忙了。 Jim: Thank you. This program is working really well. 谢谢。这个程序执行很顺利。 (吉姆显得非常高兴,也充满了干劲。) Mr.LinL: Yes. You are a great programmer, I think. 是啊。你是个很好的程序员。 (林先生想要强调“我真的是这么认为”,所以还加强语气说了“I think”。但一听到“I think”,刚刚还笑逐言开的吉姆,脸上却掠过一抹阴影。) 【Note】 在句子最后加上“I think”,表示“是不是如此,我自己也没有什么自信。”的意思。但吉姆听起来,林先生说“我认为你是个很优秀的程序员(但其他人是不是这么认为,我就没有把握。)”那到底是褒是贬,就很难说了。如果说“I think you are a great programmer.”,那吉姆就不会垂头丧气了!这时省略“I think”,而直接说“You are a great programmer!”,反而更能正确表达。想要明确地表达“我认为”,要将“I think”放在句子的开头。 面见客户时的实用英语 会话场景 接机后的次曰,Brian在公司里,为Johnathan 介绍自己的老板-Mr. Sun……。 B: Mr. Sun, I'd like you to meet Mr. Johnathan Mitchell, sales manager for Nortern Reflections of Canada. (Sun extends hand first; Sun and Mitchell shake hands) Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Steven Sun, general manager of Apex Trading. 孙先生,让我为你介绍加拿大Northern Reflections的业务经理Jonathan Mitchell先生。(孙先生先伸出,两人握手)Mitchell先生,这是Steven孙先生,Apex贸易公司的总经理。 S: It's very nice to finally meet you, Mr. Mitchell after so many phone calls and faxes. (offers his business card first) I'd like you to have my business card. 多次电话、传真往返之后,非常高兴终于见到您,Mitchell先生(先递出名片), 请收下我的名片。 J: Thanks very much, Mr. Sun. Please accept mine. (offers his own card) and please, call me Johnathan. (both look at cards for a few seconds, then put them in wallets-not pockets.) 谢谢您,孙先生。也请收下我的名片(递上自己的名片),叫我Johnathan就行了。(两个人都看了一下对方的名片,放入皮夹而非口袋中) B: If you don't mind, Johnathan, while you and Mr. Sun get acquainted, I'd like to check the arrangements for the meeting. 如果你不介意,Johnathan在你和孙先生互相认识时,我先失陪,看看会议安排得如何。 J: You're certainly on top of things, Brian. Brian,一切当然在你掌握之中! S: (looking at Brian) You'll find Mr. Tayler-Brian - is a force to be reckoned with at Apex Tradig. (看着Brian)Talyer先生,您会发现Brian是Apex贸易公司的大将。 B: Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mr. Sun. I'll be right back. (leaves room) 孙先生,谢谢你的信任票,我马上回来。(走出房间) J: He appears to be a top-notch young man, Mr. Sun. Talent and enthusiasm like that are hard to find. 孙先生,他看起来是个有为的青年,难到像他这样有才干、有热忱的人。 S: Don't I know it. He's doing a great job for us. And please, call me Steven. 我完全同意,他在公司表现不凡,请叫我Steven就行了。 J: Steven, can you tell me in a nutshell what the retail market is like in Taiwan? Steven,你可以简单地告诉我台湾零售市场的现况吗? S: Well, as per capita income goes up and up, the growth sector seems to be in the to-end. 唔,由于每人的平均收入不断地增高,市场的发展领域似乎偏向于高价位商品。 J: Retail is going upscale here? Taiwan is certainly growing more quickly than I had imagined. 此地的零售走入高价位了?台湾的发展比我想像得要快多了。 S: Yes. Things certainly have changed since I was a boy. We've developed very quickly. 没错,现在的台湾和我小时候完全不一样了,这里发展得非常快速。 J: Do you think the trend will continue? 你想这种趋势还会维持下去吗? S: I don't see why not. We do have some problems, but we are still willing to work hard-and wages aren't too high at this point. 我不觉得有什么不行!虽然是有一些问题,但我们仍愿意勤奋工作,而且现阶段工资仍不算太高。 J: Everything I've seen so far is very impressive. Very impressive indeed. 到目前为止,我所看到的一切都令我印象深刻,真的十分深刻。 情境短语 1. get acquainted ()(和`……)认识,熟悉…… 这个常用的短语暗示双方从不认识到熟识,“get”可换“become”。若是短语之后,要加上被认识的对象,以介系词“with”连接。 例:Our boss got acquainted with a couple of real estate agents in the golf Club. (我们老板在高尔夫俱乐部里结识了几位做房地产的商人。) 2. on top of things 完全掌握 字面的意思是将问题克服,高高踩在上面,引申为“控制全局”。 例:The new manager was always worried he wasn’t on top of things. (新经理一直担心自己无法掌握全局。) 3. (a) force to be reckoned with 值得注意的人物 “(a) force”,“力量”,可以指一个团体、事物或个人;“reckon”在此的意思为“认定”。“a force to be reckoned with”是形容“有成功的条件而值得注意的人物、团体”。 例:The new company will be a force to be reckoned with in the future. (这家新公司未来值得大家注意。) 4. Don't I know it. 我完全同意! 当此句型以句点(.)而非问号结尾时,表示完全同意对的方意见,为口语用法,强调的是肯定的含意。意思为”我怎会不知道!?;我当然明白这一点!”。 例:You say the discount rate is too low? Don't I know it! (你说这折扣打得太少?我完全同意!) 5. in a nutshell 简言之 “nutshell”原为“坚果壳”,又指“极小的容器”,故“in a nutshell” 这个副词短语的意思是“简言之”。 例:Bob told us in a nutshell what happened in the managers' meeting. (Bob简略地告诉我们经理们开会的情形。) 6. growth sector 成长领域 这个经济学上的名词是指经济成长特别快速的领域,“sector”是“区域;部门”的意思。 例:The leisure and entertainment industry is a growth sector in Taiwan. (休闲娱乐业是台湾目前的成长领域。) 办公英语:祝贺信 Congratulation Letter 1. Dear Mr. / Ms, On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of your National Day, please accept our heartiest congratulations.
