二、案例的英文对话表达
CG: One big area (where there's room for improvement) seems to be the standard of our rooms. Across the board, customer satisfaction stands at just 80 percent, with only 22 percent of our client \"excellent\" in this category. What's your reaction to this?
• across the board:整体来说,总体来看
→ 领导式询问:I'd like to hear your views on this. (陈述句语气过强)

quality of our rooms is something we really pride ourselves on, especially in Italy. Rooms here are new and modern, and moreover, service and cleanliness are maintained at really high standards. I can't accept that this applies to us.
SN:我不太清楚意大利的情况,但是不得不承认伦敦的酒店确实存在这样的问题,问题是比较简陋(shabby)。 2015-08-02 16:32
SP: Mm, I'd go along with Sarah to a certain extent. I mean, it is true that conditions do vary from country to country, but, nevertheless, I also think we need to aim for higher standards. What's more, I think we've got to implement a common quality control code which applies to any Goodrest hotel, in Italy, the UK, India, the USA, wherever — the same standard everywhere, so that customers always know what they're going to get and can rely on us — even if the hotel is in need of modernizing or whatever the local situation. I don't think that the quality control across the group is strict enough. 2015-08-02 16:42

Increase publicity Pay Hollywood film makers to • let the band act in a new movie. • lead for the film's soundtrack. • provide a free download link of the soundtrack on the movie's advertising website. 2015-10-07 13:58 《Solving problems 1》的笔记: P102词汇练习 第一句话: 这个可能比以往正常时要早一点,但为了保险起见,我们最好还是能赶在客户的进度之前。你也知道这个客户超喜欢在最后时刻再变点什么,这样的话,我们就会被打得措手不及落后进度了。 英文: This could be earlier than normal,but we'd better stay ahead of schedule to be safe。You know how they like to change things at the last minute and we're all suddenly behind the schedule。 2015-10-07 15:05

4. 回报时间(short-term & long-term) 必须加入的信息:
1. 公司有保障(创建于1995年,全球供应)→ 公司历史悠久,规模大 2. 全球需求稳定增长(缓慢 → 上升 → 放缓) 3. 保障未来5年销售的订单量
4. 股票跌至最低点(∵ 原材料硅短缺) Dear Mr. Green,
In response to your enquiry about investing in Sungreen, I would consider it as a wise choice for a long-term investment because it is stable, reliable, and profitable.
The 190 million euros investment for the next five years from Mainline Energy along with the constantly growing global demand guarantees a
43
steady financial increase. 2015-11-07 11:03
One other thing to consider is its enviable reputation. Their long-term cooperation with publicly traded companies, for example, Mainline Energy, enhances its strong capability to lead in eco-friendly power industry.
Despite the fall of its stock caused by technical problem which can be solved in the near future as confirmed by analysts, I will still suggest investing in Sungreen in the long term. The fact that Sungreen has already been exploiting the new technology makes it a good investment opportunity. Purchasing its stock at a fairly low price today could earn a huge profit tomorrow.
Overall, I would strongly re
commend investing in Sungreen for a long term.
Should you have any enquiries or further requests, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely, xxx

第一阶段:寒暄问题
自我介绍,基本信息(来自哪里,现在是学生还是工作,是什么专业,什么工作)
what do you like most about your job(study) 第二阶段:考官问题
这个阶段的方向,性质问题有六个:1 business meeting

1. 谁……干……什么样的……嘛……(介词短语、分词短语、从句……) 2. It is good for me to do something.
3. There is … (in 哪方面或doing something)
问题1:Do you prefer to have a lot of things planned for each week, A? [ Why? / Why not? ]
计划有利于按时完成任务
→ Having a lot of things planned for each week is good for me to finish tasks.
合理分配时间(而不至于……)
→ I can also reasonably manage my time instead of rushing through some important tasks while spending too much time on some unimportant tasks.
51
提高版:

→ Moreover, I can also appropriately manage my time for the whole week to avoid possible consequences of rushing through some important missions while wasting too much time on some trifles.
总结:使用积极主动的词汇,不重复;句子之间的连词不要重复
Tip2:定义 问题2:Do you think it's essential to arrive on time for business meetings, B? [ Why? / Why not? ]
抓关键词:essential, on time, business meeting 思考:
1. It is important but not essential …
2. on time就能怎样,不on time就不能怎样
It is (considered) a human virtue to be on time for an appointment, whether it is a personal gathering or a business meeting. on time就能怎样,不on time 就会有什么不好的后果
→ When you are on time, everything scheduled can be proceeded properly; When you are late, any possible negative consequence might be caused, (先总讲,再举例)for example, your business partner would think that you are not a reliable person →
your business partners (especially people from the West)would regard you as an unreliable person (to cooperate with).
3. 不是business meeting就不一定非得on time,因为……而business meeting一定要on time,因为……
There would be any possible negative consequence, for example, ... Sample 2):第三种思考
It is universally accepted that it is a human virtue to arrive on time for any appointment.
While it is acceptable to
be late for a personal appointment because people tend to be quite tolerant with others when they need relaxation after work, it is considered a must to be prudent in doing business, which is not a joke.
Therefore, we say it is essential to arrive on time / be punctual for business meetings
问题4:B, do you think business people will have fewer face-to-face meetings in the future? [ Why? / Why not? ] 关键词:will, fewer, face-to-face 思考:will →“会”越来越少,不是“应该”越来越少;face-to-face meetings少 → 远程会议(网络,电话……)多 tip 3:句型
随着…… e.g. with the development of... ( 建议少用 ) with the advancement / progress of …
越来越多的谁干什么样的嘛了,是为了什么或者导致了什么结果,
e.g. in order to / result in / contribute to / lead to / bring about 2015-10-18 17:33
tip4:思考理念
对于你认为。。。。。的类型的问题,考虑 会怎么样有什么好处,不会有什么坏处 抓住关键词。
句型结构:with,ing,ed
问题2:Do you think companies should provide foreign language courses for their employees, B? [ Why? / Why not? ] 关键词:should,foreign language courses 思考:
1. 公司should不should,标准是什么?能让公司更好的发展,能给公
52
司赚钱(带来更大的经济收益)
2. 提供的是foreign language courses, which能够提高员工的外语水平,从而更好地跟不同国家的商人进行交流,做更好的生意。
I do support that companies should provide foreign language courses for employees (staff), which would enhance their communicative competence in exchanging ideas with people from different countries, thus doing better business and gaining better economic returns for the company. 2015-10-18 19:16
问题3:A, do you think employees should contribute to the cost of their language training? [ Why? / Why not? ] 关键词:contribute to
思考:出一部分钱的好处 / 或者有没有必要出钱 → 从人性角度出发思考,自己跟公司都出钱,大家都为同一个目标努力和负责,从而更好地进行language training或使得公司气氛更加融洽。
I do agree with the concept that employees should contribute to the cost of their language training, …
让:make / let(不拦着;提议;使役动词)× lead sb to √
… which would lead employees to feel that the company and individual are making joint efforts for the company, thus better harmonizing atmosphere at the company. 2015-10-18 19:17

1. 谁……干……什么样的…… 嘛……(介词短语、分词短语、从句……)
2. It is good for me to do something.
3. There is … (in 哪方面或doing something)
二、一时想不出原因怎么办? 定义!—— 这是什么?
三、句型:随着……,越来越多的谁+干+什么样的嘛了, 是为了…… 或which result in / contribute to / lead to / bring about什么结果
问题1:Do you think it's a good idea for companies to use business consultants, A? [ Why? / Why not? ] 关键词:consultant
思考:为什么要consultant?consultant用来干嘛的?自己不行吗? 回答(利用对比思路):顾问提供专业建议、专业知识、分析公司情况 → 为了公司能够更好地发展;没有顾问 自己探索 会走更多弯路 会:would, might, tend to 更容易:more easily 费时的:time consuming
Yes, it is a good idea for companies to use business consultants,who are usually able to offer professional advice and professional expertise, and analyze conditions and situations for the company to further expand the company.
Without consultants, the company would have to experience hardships, setbacks, turns and twists themselves so as to accumulate valuable
experience for company expansion.(growth) 2015-10-18 20:03

[ Why? / Why not? ] 思考: 会increase,因为市场细分,专业性,效率高,少走弯路 Sample: Yes, I do think more consultants would be used in the future in that they can save a lot of time and energy for the company, which leads to higher efficiency. (Otherwise, the companies
might have to experience turns and twists themselves.) 2015-10-18 20:09
问题4:B, do you think you need a lot of business experience to be a consultant? [ Why? / Why not? ] 思考:
需要 → 只有自己亲身经历的事情才能成为自己的知识去运用;
I think I need a lot of business experience to be a consultant in that only through my own experience can I implant knowledge deeply in my mind so that I will be able to offer my professional advice and recommendations. 不需要 → 可以从书上、网络上学到很多cases。
