This is the second in our two-part Business English Pod series on strategically using vague language. Last time we covered being vague to make a polite excuse or to avoid sounding arrogant. We saw how you can use vague language to create flexibility.

今天是有關(guān)使用“含糊的語(yǔ)言”的2節(jié)英語(yǔ)商務(wù)播客中的第2節(jié)。上次我們學(xué)習(xí)了用含糊的語(yǔ)言來表示禮貌的借口來避免聽起來傲慢。我們看到如何使用模糊的語(yǔ)言來靈活地創(chuàng)造。

Today we’ll work on referring to vague numbers and learn language you can use when you don’t remember the name of someone or something. You’ll also practice some more strategic uses of vague language, such as avoiding socially inappropriate or impolite topics.

今天我們要一些模糊的數(shù)字并學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)你不記得某人或某物名字的時(shí)要使用的語(yǔ)言。你也會(huì)學(xué)到模糊語(yǔ)言的重要用法，比如避免交際上的不恰當(dāng)或避免不禮貌的話題。
