商務(wù)英語播客 第70課:考慮提議(下)
This is the second in a two-part Business English Pod series about an internal meeting to consider a proposal.
這是2節(jié)商務(wù)英語播客的第2節(jié)，將要學(xué)習(xí)到在內(nèi)部會(huì)議中考慮提議。
As we saw in the last episode, this type of meeting can be similar to a negotiation. People with different opinions sit around the table and try to convince each other that their idea is the best. So in this situation, you need to be very persuasive and provide good reasons for your recommendations.
正如在上節(jié)課中所看到的那樣，這種會(huì)議和協(xié)商很類似。圍坐在會(huì)議桌旁的人們都有不同的想法，并要試圖勸說他人這節(jié)主意是最好的。在這種狀況中，你需要有說服力并為所提的建議提供好的理由。
In this lesson, we’ll look at how to express doubt, admit risk, confirm support, and speculateabout possible future situations or scenarios. We’ll also cover language that you can use tohighlight any concessions you might have won in a previous negotiation.
在這節(jié)課中，我們來看下如何表達(dá)懷疑，承認(rèn)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，肯定支持并對(duì)未來或方案進(jìn)行深思。我們也會(huì)學(xué)到可以用來加強(qiáng)在先前協(xié)商中獲得的讓步。
In today’s dialog, we’ll rejoin Steve and his managers as they discuss a proposal for language training. Steve is recommending a blended training model that would combine classroom sessions with online training.
在今天的對(duì)話中，我們重新加入Steve和經(jīng)理們共同探討語言訓(xùn)練的提議，Steve推薦將上課和在線訓(xùn)練相結(jié)合的混合訓(xùn)練模式。
Listening Questions:
1. Which advantage of online training does Steve focus on?
2. What is the main concern of the two female managers?
3. If the blended approach doesn’t work, what do they have the option of doing?
