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.
