职场口语:和外籍上司沟通的常用“句法”
和老外上司沟通让你忐忑不安吗?还是担心自己的英文不够好,无法准确表达自己的意思?下面就来教你几招常用的沟通“句法”。[b] 1. 请假[/b]
Would it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday?
这个星期五,我是否可以休一天假?
请求休假用take the day off。如果是两天以上就用days off。上司可能会很干脆地答应说 "That'll be OK.",也可能会不悦地回答"Will everything be all right?(一切都安排就绪了吗?)"。这些都要看你平时的工作表现而定。
[b] 2. 提议[/b]
I think we need to buy a new copier。
我想我们需要买一台新的复印机。
说出这句话之前,必须要说明"Our copying machine has broken down again。(复印机又出毛病了。)"以作为提案的依据。客气一些的提议,可用"suggest"来表达,如"I would suggest we buy a new copier."
[b] 3. 表示了解上司的指示[/b]
Yes, of course。
是,我知道了。
也可以用"I understand。(我明白了。)",或"Yes, right away。(好的,马上去做。)"对上司说"OK"或 "all right"并不恰当。如果你很忙,应该说"I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?"
[b] 4. 确认上司指示的内容[/b]
You did say next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., didn't you?
您是说在下星期二下午2点,是不是?
任何事都必须确认一下。如果对方是外国人更要如此。上句也可以直截了当地说"Let me confirm。(让我确认一下时间和日期。)"
[b] 5. 报告商谈结果[/b]
I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan。
我觉得他赞成那个计划。
记住"I have a feeling (that).。。(我觉得……)",以及".。。(that) he was against the plan。(他反对那个计划。)"这两句话,都是非常有用的哦! :qq50]maybe I can use them some day. {:6_215:}
