歡迎回到 商務英語播客. Today’s lesson is the first in a series about agreeing and disagreeing in 英文會議. This is part of a broader project to take another look at some of our older lessons.
Success in business can depend on how your opinions align with other people’s ideas. 為此原因, agreeing and disagreeing are essential communication skills. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the board room, the meeting room, or the staff room, you need to know how to agree and disagree effectively.
今天, we’re going to focus on agreeing. 事實上, there are many ways to agree with someone! Sometimes we want to use a short expression. Sometimes we need something longer and more polite. Sometimes we want to show energy and enthusiasm. And sometimes we want to use an example or repeat someone else’s idea. It really depends on the situation.
在今天的對話中, we’ll hear a conversation between three people who work for a pharmaceutical, or drug company. Gene, Louis, and Carina are talking about the results of a new trial for a drug called Zorax. 在他們的談話中, they use many different expressions for agreeing.
