1.申请许可
Wouldn't it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday?
请休假用takethe day off。若是两天以上就用days off。老板会非常干脆地答应说that'll be OK,或是会带有不悦意味回答will everything be all right?,这类都要看你平常的工作表现而定。
2.建议
I think we need to buy a new copier.
说出上句之前,需要说明our copying machine has broken down again.以作为提案的依据。客气一些的建议,用suggest如I would suggest we buy a new copoer.
3.表示知道上司的指示
Yes,of course.
也可用I understand,或Yes,right away,对上司说OK,或 all right并不适合。非常忙时,说I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?
4.确认上司指示的内容
Yor did say nexy Tuesday at 2:00 P.M.,didn't you?
任何事都需要确认一下。假如他们是外国人更要这样。上句也可直截了当地说let me /confirm/i1
5.报告商谈结果
I had a feeling he was in favor2 of the plan.
记住I have a feeling ...,及...... he was against the plan.这两句话都非常管用。
