BEP 324 LESSON - Business English Collocations for Describing Company Performance 2

欢迎回到 商务英语播客 for today’s 商务英语词汇 lesson on how to describe company performance.

Every company’s goal is to make a profit. But how they go about that is different. Different industries, different business models, different approachesThere’s no simple recipe for success. And there’s no simple, single way to measure whether a company is performing well.

代替, we look at many different factors when we measure company performance. We’ve also got a lot of different expressions in English for discussing the topic. And many of these English expressions are what we call “collocations.”

What’s a collocation? 出色地, it’s just a natural combination of words. Ever heard the expressions “turn a profit” or “boost the bottom line?” We don’t say “grow a profit” or “up the bottom line.” Those simply aren’t natural collocations. And if you say something like that, you won’t sound natural.

So studying collocations is a great way to sound more natural with your vocabulary. You can learn combinations of words, rather than single words on their own. As you listen to the dialog today, try to pick out some of these collocations, 我们将稍后在汇报中讨论它们.

在对话框中, we’ll rejoin a meeting at a private equity firm. Three colleagues, 玛丽亚, 克劳迪娅, 和泰勒, are talking about some of the companies they’ve invested in. They’ll use lots of great collocations as they discuss the performance of these companies.

2. What does Taylor think they should do before selling off SmartMoney?

最好的公司会战略性地利用这种能量. 他们将营销工作定向到合适的人, 用正确的方法. 如果您与一支优秀的营销团队围坐在桌子旁, 您需要了解 – 和使用 – 营销的特殊语言. 例如, 您可能会听到诸如“提高客户参与度”之类的表达方式。或者“占领市场份额”。
