BEP 394 – English Idioms about Body Parts (2)

商務英語, 商務英語詞彙, 商業習語, ESL播客 / February 12, 2023

歡迎回到Business English Pod，今天的課程商務英語習語 based on the human body.

In your time studying English have you ever heard the expression “to learn something by heart?” Maybe you had to learn an English song by heart. Or maybe it was verb conjugations, or a list of vocabulary that your teacher made you learn “by heart.” And maybe you know that learning something by heart means memorizing it, which is kind of strange when you consider our memory is in our brain, not our heart!

But “to learn by heart” is an idiom. And English has thousands and thousands of idioms. It’s one thing that makes English really hard to learn. But you’ll find that 英語成語 tend to rely on certain themes or metaphors, like body parts. And today we’ll look at some idioms that refer to brains, ears, hearts, hands, lips, fingers, and even heels.

在本課中, we’ll rejoin a conversation between Maria and Trevor. They are friends and former colleagues who are meeting for coffee to chat about their work situations. In their conversation they use many different idioms related to human body parts. See if you can spot some of these idioms as you listen, and I’ll explain them later in the debrief.

聽力問題

1. How does Maria describe her CEO?
2. What does Trevor say when Maria tells him she has a secret?
3. What has Maria seen happen to other companies that makes her afraid of starting her own?

BEP 393 – English Idioms about Body Parts (1)

商務英語, 商務英語詞彙, 商業習語 / January 29, 2023

歡迎回到Business English Pod，今天的課程英語成語 related to different parts of the body.

Now you probably already know that when I said “head over to” the website, I meant you should go look at the website. Even if you didn’t know that particular expression, you could probably guess the meaning from my sentence. “Head over to” is a kind of idiom, and English has a lot of idioms, as you’ve probably noticed!

事實上, there are many common sources of idioms. And one interesting source is the human body. There are a few body parts in particular that have generated a lot of idioms. English has dozens of idioms just with the words “head” and “hands.” But there are idioms using all different parts of the body, and that’s what we’re going to learn about today.

在本課中, we’ll listen to a conversation between two friends and former colleagues: Maria and Trevor. They’re meeting for coffee and are eager to catch up after not seeing each other for a while. Maria and Trevor talk about their different work situations. 在談話中, 他們使用很多英語成語 related to the human body. 看看你是否能在我們通過對話時發現其中的一些, 我們稍後會在匯報中解釋它們.

聽力問題

1. How does Trevor agree with Maria’s assessment of her old boss Roger?
2. How does Maria describe her ten years of working at Trevor’s company?
3. What does Maria say about the attitude of the people she works with?

歡迎回到商務英語播客再看看英語成語與花錢有關.

想想你身邊的人, 尤其是你的家人, 並考慮他們如何花錢. 是不是每個人的做法都一樣? 還是他們都以不同的方式處理事情? 機會是, 你可以很容易地想到人們對資金管理方法的差異. 得知金錢是一段關係中最重要的衝突來源之一，這一點也就不足為奇了.

這在商業中是正確的，就像在家庭中一樣. 公司如何使用其財務資源是一個巨大的戰略問題. 公司是否冒一些風險來獲得一些? 還是公司偏愛節約和安全? 短期戰略與長期戰略有區別嗎? 這些都是重要的問題, 難怪英語有這麼多成語來談論人們如何花錢.

在今天的對話中, 我們將重新加入雪莉, 馬丁, 和文斯, 一家科技公司的三位經理. 他們在談論他們的公司應該如何在人員配備上花錢. 正如我們將聽到的, 他們並沒有真正同意最好的方法. 在談話中, 他們使用很多商務英語習語與花錢有關. 看看你是否能在我們通過對話時發現其中的一些, 我們稍後會在匯報中解釋它們.

聽力問題

1. 馬丁對已經在他們正在考慮的行業工作的公司有什麼看法?
2. 馬丁如何描述城市南側的辦公空間?
3. 文斯如何描述公司未來可能出現的情況，即有更多的錢可以花?
