和老外上司溝通讓你忐忑不安嗎?還是擔(dān)心自己的英文不夠好，無(wú)法準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)自己的意思?下面就來(lái)教你幾招常用的溝通“句法”。

1. 請(qǐng)假

Would it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday?

這個(gè)星期五，我是否可以休一天假?

請(qǐng)求休假用take the day off。如果是兩天以上就用days off。上司可能會(huì)很干脆地答應(yīng)說 "That'll be OK."，也可能會(huì)不悅地回答"Will everything be all right?(一切都安排就緒了嗎?)"。這些都要看你平時(shí)的工作表現(xiàn)而定。

2. 提議

I think we need to buy a new copier.

我想我們需要買一臺(tái)新的復(fù)印機(jī)。

說出這句話之前，必須要說明"Our copying machine has broken down again.(復(fù)印機(jī)又出毛病了。)"以作為提案的依據(jù)?？蜌庖恍┑奶嶙h，可用"suggest"來(lái)表達(dá)，如"I would suggest we buy a new copier."

3. 表示了解上司的指示

Yes, of course.

是，我知道了。

也可以用"I understand.(我明白了。)"，或"Yes, right away.(好的，馬上去做。)"對(duì)上司說"OK"或 "all right"并不恰當(dāng)。如果你很忙，應(yīng)該說"I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?"

4. 確認(rèn)上司指示的內(nèi)容

You did say next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., didn't you?

您是說在下星期二下午2點(diǎn)，是不是?

任何事都必須確認(rèn)一下。如果對(duì)方是外國(guó)人更要如此。上句也可以直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣f"Let me confirm.(讓我確認(rèn)一下時(shí)間和日期。)"

5. 報(bào)告商談結(jié)果

I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan.

我覺得他贊成那個(gè)計(jì)劃。

記住"I have a feeling (that)...(我覺得……)"，以及"...(that) he was against the plan.(他反對(duì)那個(gè)計(jì)劃。)"這兩句話，都是非常有用的!
