上两期我们跟着小R学习怎样与外籍上司打招呼,与外籍上司沟通工作问题的技巧,那么这次我们一起来学习在会议中怎样有效地与外籍老板沟通。
We're very pleased to welcome everyone to this meeting. Shall we get started?(我们非常高兴各位来参加会议,那我们现在就开始吧!)
《白领英语900句》这是开会的一个开场白,西方人不太喜欢过多的寒暄,他们很快就会进入正题。除此之外还有句型:"It's a pleasure to welcome...""I'd like to start by welcoming...""Let's get down to business." "Ok, shall we make a start?"
Have you all seen a copy of the agenda?(你们每个人都看到会议议程了吗?)
《白领英语900句》在西方国家,会议前每个参会人员都会事先拿到一份仪程。所以会前一定要看一遍,对其中的事宜、流程都必须要作到心中有数才不至于被问及时一无所知,无从回答。给上司留下不好的影响。但澳大利亚人他们通常用 "chapter"来代替 "agenda".相关句型还有:"As you'll see from the agenda...""There are three items on the agenda..."
The purpose of this meeting is to discuses the current marketing trends.(这次会议的主题是讨论近期市场的发展趋势。)
《白领英语900句》确定每个人都拿到了议程后就开始了今天会议的话题。类似的句型还有:"The
objective today is to ...""We are here today to ..."加拿大老板会接着喜欢说:"The floor is open for discussion"当你听到"floor "这词后千万别误以为是什么深奥的意思,其实它的意思是这就是今天讨论的主题。
Mr. Brown, what do you think about this?(Mr. Brown,你是怎么认为的?)
《白领英语900句》通常在阐述完今天的主题后,主持人会询问与会人员的意见,在西方国家,老板很重视每个人的意见,他也希望每个员工都能提出自己的建设性的意见。类似这样询问对方意见的句子还有:What are our views on this, John? /Do you agree, Mary?/What's your opinion?/ Are there any further points?
