與上司溝通的一些英語(yǔ)表達(dá)
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”。接下來(lái)，小編給大家準(zhǔn)備了與上司溝通的一些英語(yǔ)表達(dá),歡迎大家參考與借鑒。
與上司溝通的一些英語(yǔ)表達(dá)
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(shuō) Thatll 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(shuō)出這句話之前，必須要說(shuō)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(shuō)OK或 all right并不恰當(dāng)。如果你很忙，應(yīng)該說(shuō)Im sorry, but Im 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., didnt you?
您是說(shuō)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(shuō)Let me confirm1.(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(jué)得他贊成那個(gè)計(jì)劃。
記住I have a feeling (that)...(我覺(jué)得……)，以及...(that) he was against the plan.(他反對(duì)那個(gè)計(jì)劃。)這兩句話，都是非常有用的哦!
擴(kuò)展：常見(jiàn)中文俗語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)英譯技巧
1. 人山人海：在詩(shī)詞用語(yǔ)(poetic1 expression)里，英美人也有使用：“a (the) sea of faces”，頗有咱的“人山人海”的味道。例如：Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching2 speech.(望著一片人山人海的聽(tīng)眾，A先生發(fā)表一篇?jiǎng)尤说难菡f(shuō)。)Standing3 at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.(克林頓總統(tǒng)站在講臺(tái)上看到人山人海的人群揮手向他致意。)?？梢?jiàn)，說(shuō)話者通常要在臺(tái)上或高處，才有“人?！钡母杏X(jué)。因此，可以說(shuō)：“I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. ”但在平地的人群中，就不說(shuō)：“I saw the sea of faces.” 也不說(shuō)：“There is a sea of faces.”只說(shuō)：“I saw a large crowd of people.”
2、家家有本難念的經(jīng)：有人譯成：“Every family cooking-pot has a black spot.”(意思是：每個(gè)家庭的鍋?zhàn)佣加泻谏奈埸c(diǎn)。)這樣說(shuō)法，英美人恐怕不能充分了解。不過(guò)英美人最常見(jiàn)的說(shuō)法是：“Many families have skeletons in the closet.(許多家庭的衣柜里都有骨骸，骨骸就是指家丑。)”;或者說(shuō)：“Every family has its own source of shame.(每個(gè)家庭都有自己的丑事)”;說(shuō)白些，就是：“Every family has its own problem.”
3、天下無(wú)不散的宴席：有人直譯為：“There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last.” 英美人聽(tīng)后，也許很難體會(huì)其中意義。如果按照美語(yǔ)說(shuō)法，也許更易理解：“All good things come to an end.(意思是：所有好的事情，總有結(jié)束的一天。)”;假如是指好友最后也有分別的一天，那么可以說(shuō)：“Eventually, all bosom4 friends will drift apart.(bosom friend是指知心的好友)”
4、平時(shí)不燒香，臨時(shí)抱佛腳：有人照字面意思直譯為：“When times are easy, we do not burn the incense5, but when the trouble comes, we embrace the feet of the Buddha6.”這種說(shuō)法，英美人也會(huì)一知半解。美語(yǔ)里一般說(shuō)法是：“Worship God every day; not just in times of adversity.(要每天敬拜神，不是只在困難時(shí)。)”;對(duì)學(xué)生也可以說(shuō)：“If you study hard every day, exams will not seem overwhelming.(如果你每天用功，考試就不會(huì)形成壓力。)”
5、掛羊頭，賣狗肉：有人照字直譯為：“He advertises mutton, but sells dog’s flesh.”或“He hangs up a sheep’s head at the shop front and sells dog meat.”這兩種譯法，恐怕英美人都難理解，尤其談到“狗肉”，他們更會(huì)反感，因?yàn)楣肥撬麄冏類?ài)的寵物，不過(guò)英美人倒有相近的說(shuō)法：“He applied7 bait-and-switch tactics in business.(他經(jīng)商的策略是先引誘顧客來(lái)，再改變貨物的品質(zhì)。
)”，“Bait-and-switch”當(dāng)名詞用，也可不用連字號(hào)“This store uses bait and switch policy.” 或者簡(jiǎn)單的說(shuō)：“Let the buyer be aware!(讓消費(fèi)者提高警覺(jué))”或“Say one thing and do another.”
6、一言既出，駟馬難追：有人譯成：“One word lets slip and four horses will fail to catch it. 或 A statement that once let loose cannot be caught by four galloping8 horses.”這兩種說(shuō)法，中文味道嫌重，英美人未必理解。不過(guò)他們倒有類似的說(shuō)法：“A word once let go cannot be recalled.”或者說(shuō)：“You cannot take back what you have said.(你說(shuō)出的話，就不能再收回來(lái)。)”
7、禍從口出，言多必失：有人譯為：“The mouth is the gate of misfortune and evil.”英美人聽(tīng)了，恐怕不能完全理解。最好說(shuō)成：“Careless talk leads to trouble.(不小心說(shuō)話，會(huì)帶來(lái)麻煩)或“The less said the better.(說(shuō)的愈少愈好)”甚至也可以說(shuō)：“Shut the mouth and open the eyes.(閉嘴少說(shuō)，張眼多看。)”
