职场口语:如何请假让你的老板"无话可说"
1. 请假
Would it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday?
这个星期五,我是否可以休一天假?
请求休假用take the day off。如果是两天以上就用days off。上司可能会很干脆地答应说 "That'll be OK.",也可能会不悦地回答"Will everything be all right?(一切都安排就绪了吗?)"。这些都要看你平时的工作表现而定。
2. 提议
I think we need to buy a new copier。
我想我们需要买一台新的复印机。
说出这句话之前,必须要说明"Our copying machine has broken down again。(复印机又出毛病了。)"以作为提案的依据。客气一些的提议,可用"suggest"来表达,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,马上去做。)"对上司说"OK"或 "all right"并不恰当。如果你很忙,应该说"I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?"
4. 确认上司指示的内容
You did say next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., didn't you?
您是说在下星期二下午2点,是不是?
任何事都必须确认一下。如果对方是外国人更要如此。上句也可以直截了当地说"Let me confirm。(让我确认一下时间和日期。)"
5. 报告商谈结果
I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan。
我觉得他赞成那个计划。
记住"I have a feeling (that)…(我觉得……)",以及"…(that) he was against the plan。(他反对那个计划。)"这两句话,都是非常有用的哦!
