BEP 34 – 會議: 澄清所說的話

這是兩部分中的第一部分 商務英語播客 澄清系列. 澄清的意思是說清楚.

今天我們將學習一些短語和技巧來澄清所說的內容. 例如, “我不太明白. 你能再說一次嗎?” 當您聽不清楚或某人說話太快時,這很有用. 然後, 在第二個播客中 (BEP 35), 我們將研究語言以澄清其意義, 例如 “你到底是什麼意思?”

今天聽的是一家船公司的. 您會聽到鹿特丹的 Wim Zeldenhuis 和 Andre De Vries 給波士頓的美國同事 Benny McClenahan 打電話.

BEP 33 – 英語演講: 關閉 & 總結

This lesson has been updated – 在這裡查看改進的課程.

在今天的商務英語播客課程中, 我們將著眼於總結並總結您的 英文演講.

就像我們之前提到的 BEP 101 (單擊此鏈接收聽播客), 強有力的介紹對讓聽眾有傾聽的理由很重要. 相似地, 一個強有力的結論對於給觀眾留下深刻的印象並給他們清楚的信息說明採取什麼行動非常重要。.

So what structure should you use to close down an 英文介紹? 我們建議這種簡單的格式:

1. 向聽眾明確表示您將要完成的信號.
2. 簡要總結您的演講要點.
3. State your recommendation or give your call to actionlet your audience know what you want them to do.
4. 通過感謝您的聽眾並邀請問題或討論來結束.

在今天的聆聽中,我們將探索這種格式. 聆聽在Harper-Tolland進行, 全球主要的特殊用途鋼生產商. 去年,Harper-Tolland推出了新產品線,但在歐洲的銷售業績令人失望. 尼古拉斯·菲舍爾, Harper-Tolland的新區域銷售總監, 已被雇用來解決問題. 他只是在結束一個正在討論他的提案的演示文稿.

商業新聞 06 – 離岸

This Business English News podcast examines the topic of offshoring jobs. “離岸” means to move part of a company’s operations (usually supporting functions such as finance or HR) to another countryliterallyoff shore.Another commonly used term related to this topic isoutsourcing” – this means to use a different company to handle some supporting tasks. The key difference is that outsourcing doesn’t necessarily mean the work is done in a different country.

The topic of offshoring, or outsourcing work overseas, is certainly a popular one these days, and many people in Western Europe and North America are quite concerned that this practice will lead to less job opportunities in their countries. 然而, our story details a report from a well know management consultancy that concludes these concerns may be exaggerated oroverblown.
