【婉轉拒絕】亂用‘I'll think about it’會令生意告吹!11句與「考慮」意思相近的例句
和外國人談生意的時候,想要表達「 讓我考慮一下」的話,英文怎麼說呢? 還記得,筆者曾經在某次跨國商業交流中,聽到同伴衝口而出道出一句港式英文 ‘Let me think think’ ,結果對方尷尬地回應了一句‘Alright’,然後空氣便彌漫著尷尬的氣氛…… 那麽,正確的表達方式應該是怎樣?如何可以有禮地告知對方您需要點時間考慮?爲何不小心錯說了‘I'll think about it’,事情便有機會告吹?
本週,筆者為大家預備了11句與「考慮」相關的表達方式、例句,以及注意事項,事不宜遲,let’s go!(*記得看到最後)
1. Think …… over(認真考慮)
Example:
I’ll think it over and give you an answer by tomorrow.
我會認真考慮的,下週給您答覆。
2. Given (that)…… (考慮到……;鑑於……)
Example 1:
Given the time it can take to get a leave request approved, employees might be wise (明智的)to put in requests soon.
鑑於批准請假需時,因此明智的做法是盡快提交請假申請。
Example 2:
Given that we have had five days only to finish the proposal, we have not made much progress(進展).
鑑於我們只有五天時間來完成計劃書,因此,我們並沒有取得太大進展。
3. chew over (仔細推敲;好好想一想)
‘chew’的意思是咀嚼,’chew over’是反覆咀嚼,引伸意思為仔細推敲、好好想一想的意思。
Example 1:
There are a number of things I need to chew over. I'll get back to you by Wednesday.
我需要仔細考慮很多事情。 我會在星期三之前回覆您。
Example 2:
I've been chewing things over and finally, I've come to a final decision.
考慮了一會後,我得出了一個最後決定。
4. ……is an important consideration.
(……是重要的考量因素。)
Example:
Comfort/Safety is an important consideration.
舒適/安全是重要的考慮因素。
5. I’d like you to take …… into consideration.
(我會把……列入考量因素。)
Example:
