容易理解错误的一个词 Shoot about, happy

tingroom

先上对话，对话是在 http://www.oralpractice.com/topic/shangwuduihua/7741.html 看到的

A:I'd like to get the ball rolling by talking about prices.
我们从价格开始吧。
B:Shoot. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
洗耳恭听。我很乐意回答你的任何问题。
A:Your products are very good. But I'm a little worried about the prices you're asking.
贵司产品非常不错，但我有点担心你的价格。
B:You think we will be asking for more?
你认为我们会要的更多吗？
A:That's not exactly what I had in mind. I know your research costs are high, but what I'd like is a 25% discount.
那并不是我想的。我知道你们的研究成本是很高，但我希望能得到七五折。
B:That seems to be a little high. I don't know how we can make a profit with those numbers.
太高了。这样的折扣我们没有利润了。
A:We said we want 10000pcs over a three-month period. What if we plan orders for a year, with a guarantee?
我们接下来的三个月需要采购10000个，如果我们保证一年的订单怎么样？
B:If you can guarantee that on paper,I think we can discuss this further.
如果你能将你的保证写下来的话。我想可以考虑。

这个shoot 一定要谨慎使用啊，尤其是对方不是母语为英语的或者本身发音不够标准的，很容易让人以为是shit。
