职场英语用语

各行各业都有职业行话，比如, 对分析数据的统计师们"significant"一词意味着格外的惊喜，对做网站的朋友来说 "traffic"一词关系着成败关键。在职场也有些普遍使用的行话，在开会时，邮件里，或日常对话里经常出现。在美工作的职场新人可能会有点懵, 放心, 不久你就听惯了，因为似乎人人都在用。 下面就是12个高频使用的职场用语: 1.  My two cents 直译我的两分钱，其实指的是我的一点建议/想法 (my opinion)。 "I choose to listen before I add my two cents."  2.  On the same page 都在一页纸上（据说最早源自合唱时大家都用一样的歌谱），就是大家想法一致或获得的信息一致（have the same understanding or amount of knowledge)。 "We all need to be on the same page before we present this idea to the clients." 3.  Give somebody a heads up 预先通知一下 (give someone a preliminary notice)。 "I just want to give you a heads up that we will have review session in the next class."  4.   Action item 任务/事项（task）。 最常用的是在会议结束前列出action item list (任务清单)，且经常列出每个任务的执行人/责任人是谁。 "Here are the new action items from the customer meeting." 5.   Think outside the box  跳出特定的思维定式，展开新的思路 （think creatively）。也可说成 "think out of the box"。  "It is important for businesses and banks to think outside the box and be flexible."  6.    Low-hanging fruit "Pick the low-hanging fruit" 就是先从离地面比较近的开始采摘，然后采摘离地面高的，即先完成容易实现的目标 （a thing or person that can be won, obtained, or persuaded with little effort)。 "Let's start with the low-hanging fruit before the more difficult projects."  7.   Helicopter view 坐在直升机上鸟瞰，表示视野宽广，宏观看待全局（a broad view of the business）。 "He was executive assistant to the chief operating officer, a position that gave him a helicopter view of the sprawling company."  8.    Buy-in 基本算是个俚语，不正式，意思是支持（support）。 "We need to get buy-in from upper management. "  9.   Cutting-edge 具有开创性的, 最先进的 (innovative)。 "The scientists are employing cutting-edge technology."   10.    Raise the bar  跳高时，每成功越过一个高度，竿就升高一些。"Raise the bar" 在日常用语中就是提高标准的意思 （raise the standard)。 "For more than 20 years, Pixar animated movies have raised the bar when it comes to creativity and storytelling."  11.    Key takeaways 重点，最主要的观点/信息。一般指在会议，学习，阅读后得到的最关键的东西 (important points)。 "Here are three key takeaways from the regional conference."  12.    Streamline "Streamline"是指在设计上减少阻力，让水流或气流通畅流动。现在泛指为简化，精简 (to improve the efficiency of a process)。 "The agency is planning to streamline the application procedure."  本着娱乐精神，我用上面的罗列的12个词（ 拼凑了 ）写了一段话, 听着地道不： Hi, team.  I’d like to provide my two cents . While our current primary  action item  is to tackle the low-hanging fruit , we should also think outside the box  and seek  cutting-edge  solutions. Taking a helicopter view  will allow us to   streamline our communications with customers and gain  buy-in   from investors. The key takeaway  from the latest board meeting is that as the competition becomes fiercer than ever, we have to  raise the bar  in our customer care and engagement.  We will have more discussion on this at our next meeting.  I just want to  give you a heads up  and make sure we are  on the same page . 好了，可以鼓掌了。

职场常用英语(二)

1. Youre in the pink!

要想说人气色好，"You look fine!"当然不错，可如果你说"Youre in the pink!"就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，巧妙使用一些表示颜色的词能使得句子非常形象生动。

2. He is bouncy.

"他精力充沛"美国人通常说："He is bouncy."，而不说"He is energetic"，牢记一些日常对话中的句式是你生活中一把必备的钥匙。如：久仰，"I get mind of you"比"I heard a lot about you."轻松得多。

3. Did you get lost?

有人开会迟到了，你若对他说"You are late."，听起来像是废话。若说"Did you get lost?"，则更能让他感到歉疚，可千万别说成"Get lost!"，那可是让人滚蛋的意思。

4. Do you have the time?

别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要是说"You can do that."就有点土了，用一句"Do you have the time?"就好多了。实际上，问他人的姓名，地址都可以这么用："May I have your name?"要比"Whats your name?"礼貌得多，不过警察例外。

5. I would rather not say.

别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用"Its my secret, dont ask such a personal question."回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方觉得你气短。你可以说"I would rather not say."(还是别说了吧)。

6. Its on the tip of my tongue.

有时候，你想说什么，可是想不起来，你可以说"Well…"、"Let me see."、"Just a moment."或"Its on the tip of my tongue."等。相比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。

7. While I remember…

交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说"By the way"，实际上，"To change the subject"、"Before I forget"、"While I remember"、"Mind you"都是既地道又受欢迎的表达。

8. I got it.

遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，"I know"可能是被中国人用得最多，而最不被美国人接受的一句话。当一个美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍"I know"，我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用"I got it."就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说"Im not clear about it."。不过如果你会说"Its past my understanding."或"Its beyond me."，你的教师一定会惊讶不已的。

9. The meeting was scheduled for two hours, but it is not over yet.

会议原定两个小时，不过现在还没有结束。

10. Would you care to see it/sit down for a while?

你要不要看/坐一会呢?

11. Im supposed to go on a diet/get a raise.

我应该节食/涨工资。

12. Im afraid that its not going to work out.

我恐怕这事不会成的。

13. Do you mind if I take tomorrow off?

你介意我明天请假吗?

14. It really depends on who is in charge.

那纯粹要看谁负责了。
