超實(shí)用的展會英語口語
如今很多的生意往來的需要使用英語交流,下面百分網(wǎng)小編搜索整理了一些超級實(shí)用的日常展會英語口語,希望幫助大家提高英語口語能力。
1.老外很討厭一種業(yè)務(wù)員,平時(shí)說什么都說ok,都說yes,都說沒問題,結(jié)果這個(gè)做不到,那個(gè)做不到,客人一肚子火。這樣的人,口語中稱為Yes-man,就是應(yīng)聲蟲,復(fù)數(shù)是Yes-men. 當(dāng)客人要求你改產(chǎn)品,但你表示沒法做,就可以直接說明原因,再來一句: I m a professional guy, not a Yes-man.
2.英語口語中有一個(gè)地道的表達(dá),white elephant,但千萬不要認(rèn)為是白象,而要根據(jù)上下文判斷。假設(shè)在拉桿箱工廠,業(yè)務(wù)員跟客戶談判,是否要在每個(gè)鉚釘上打logo?客戶問,那要加多少錢?業(yè)務(wù)員答,一共要增加3美元;客人來一句,No, that s the white elephant. 這里,就表示昂貴而無用。
3.廣交會,當(dāng)客戶拜訪過攤位后,表示很高興跟你見面啊,感謝你們招待這類的客套話時(shí),業(yè)務(wù)員也可以來一句:We enjoyed having you. (我們也很開心你的來訪)。這句表達(dá)在美國很常見。
4.形容某人臉紅,不要用turn to red這個(gè)詞,老外會很詫異,臉怎么會變紅呢?他們沒法理解?赡苁菬幔赡苁菍擂,又或者是什么原因,形容臉紅,英語中有一個(gè)專門的詞blush,可做不及物動(dòng)詞,也可做名詞。如:She blushed. 就是她臉紅了。千萬別說Her face turned to red,就鬧笑話了。
5.做外貿(mào)時(shí)間長了,久而久之會有職業(yè)病。比如做服裝的業(yè)務(wù)員某天去專柜買衣服,可能會摸一下面料,看一下做工,腦子里會不自覺推算面料成本和人工費(fèi)用,這種本能反應(yīng)就屬于職業(yè)病了,大家多少都有點(diǎn)。平時(shí)跟老外說笑,別用career disease這樣的中式英語,正確表達(dá)是occupational hazard。
7. work這個(gè)詞,很多朋友的郵件里都會用錯(cuò)。這里重申一下,work是不可數(shù)名詞,是不可以跟量詞的,如果要表示某一項(xiàng)工作,那就不能用a work這樣的搭配了。假設(shè)跟客人說, 今天給你報(bào)價(jià)是個(gè)艱巨工作 ,可以說It is a difficult task to send you quotes today. 就不能用a difficult work。
8. different這個(gè)詞很常見,表示 不同的 ,那加個(gè)前綴,變成indifferent呢?別傻眼,也別想當(dāng)然認(rèn)為是否定的否定,變成 相同的 ,那就錯(cuò)了。這個(gè)詞其實(shí)就是I don t care. 表示 不在乎。當(dāng)同事說,你不降價(jià),客人就下單給別人了。你來一句I m indifferent. 就表示無所謂,隨他去吧。
9. lust這個(gè)詞千萬別亂用!打開郵箱就看到一封剛收進(jìn)來的`開發(fā)信,千篇一律,介紹我們是做什么什么的,質(zhì)量好,價(jià)格有競爭力 。最搞笑的是,她寫了句I m confident to increase your purchasing lust. 差點(diǎn)讓我咖啡都噴出來。我知道她要表達(dá)的是什么。但是lust這個(gè)詞,更多指 性欲 。
11.在接聽老外電話時(shí),get這個(gè)詞可以經(jīng)常使用。比如客戶打來找你同事,Is Jack in? 如果他在,就可以答I ll get him. Hold on please. 又比如客戶在電話里討論某個(gè)事情,比如訂單數(shù)量或者產(chǎn)品細(xì)節(jié),如果你都明白了,也可以簡單回答Got it.
13. 請求對方諒解,歐美業(yè)務(wù)員經(jīng)常會用intentional這個(gè)詞,表示 故意的 有意的 ,但很少看到國內(nèi)業(yè)務(wù)員使用。如:We re really sorry for the poor logo painting. Please realize it was not intentional. (我們非常抱歉logo沒有印好。請了解我們不是故意的。)
14. 口語中,表示饑餓,除了常用的hungry外,還可以用feel empty。如: I feel empty. 就是 我有點(diǎn)餓了 ,跟 I m hungry. 同義。千萬別理解成我感到很空虛,那就錯(cuò)了。但如果反過來,I have an empty feeling. 這里的empty feeling,就是 空虛的感覺 。
15. 庫存不多,英文可以用low stock表達(dá)。比如跟客人解釋,因?yàn)樵牧蠋齑娌欢啵覀冃枰呀黄谘娱L到45天后,就可以說:Due to the low stock of raw material, we have to postpone the delivery date to 45 days later. 此外,沒有庫存,是out of stock;庫存充足,是sufficient stock。
16. 中文有 說曹操,曹操就到 ,表示正說某人,他就來了。在英文里,同樣有類似表達(dá),是Speak of the devil! 比如你跟老外在討論你某某同事的趣事,正好這個(gè)同事這時(shí)候過來,你就可以說:Wow, speak of the devil! 其實(shí)這是一句省略過的用法,全句是Speak of the devil and he appears.
18. ship做動(dòng)詞,并非單純指海運(yùn),也可用于指代空運(yùn)。舉個(gè)例子,When could you ship the samples? 根據(jù)語境,就是 請問您什么時(shí)候可以寄出樣品呢? 很顯然,這里的寄樣,不可能是海運(yùn),一定是快遞空運(yùn)了。又比如We will ship the goods by air next week. 這里的ship,就等同于deliver。
19. 一次性付款 ,英文可以用lump sum來表示。比如客人下了一個(gè)很小的試單,只有500美金,這時(shí)候如果根據(jù)常規(guī)收30%定金,剩下70%見提單復(fù)印件,就太麻煩了,兩筆款項(xiàng)的銀行費(fèi)用也很貴,就可以給客人郵件:Could you help to pay in one lump sum for this trial order? Thanks.
20. 有時(shí)碰到客戶來公司拜訪,老板往往會滔滔不絕介紹公司,介紹產(chǎn)品,介紹未來發(fā)展等等,長篇大論,生怕別人不知道。很多老外礙于顏面,只好耐著性子聽著,偶爾還要附和兩句吹捧一下。如果碰到個(gè)脾氣沒那么好的,估計(jì)就會來一句:Please make a long story short. 就是 請您長話短說 。
21.up in the air,可以表示對某事不確定,還在天上飄著呢,相當(dāng)于not sure。比如你連續(xù)接了幾個(gè)大單,業(yè)績很棒,客人非常贊賞,可能從你老板那里得到消息要升你職,就連忙恭喜你升職。但這事情畢竟沒有正式公布,你也不好意思得瑟,就可以說I really hope so. It s still up in the air.
22. 表示 很遺憾、很可惜 ,多年前我們就學(xué)過what a pity,但這短語跟形容美味的dlicious一樣,中國學(xué)生用得實(shí)在太泛濫。其實(shí)在美國,還有一個(gè)短語what a bummer,也很常見。如客人跟你說,他沒拿下最終客戶的訂單,你就可以答:What a bummer you losing the opportunity. 就很地道。
23.談判的時(shí)候,當(dāng)你給了客人某個(gè)專業(yè)意見獲得采納,客人或許會夸獎(jiǎng)你,可能會說一句You can say that again! 意思就相當(dāng)于Great! 或者Wonderful! 是對你的夸獎(jiǎng),而不是讓你把話再重復(fù)一遍
24. 有的時(shí)候我們常常會碰到一些不知所謂的人和事,讓自己滿腹怨氣。比如客人指定某個(gè)貨代出貨,而那貨代可能非常麻煩,要求巨多,費(fèi)用巨貴,服務(wù)巨差,實(shí)在忍不住想跟老外抱怨幾句,電話里可以來一句I don t like their red tape. 這里,red tape表示 打官腔 做事不專業(yè) 。
25. 客人為了跟你表示親近,常常會透露一些 秘密 給你,比如跟別家供應(yīng)商過去的成交價(jià)格,希望你提供更好的價(jià)格和服務(wù)等等,然后請你保密。這個(gè)時(shí)候,可以回答客人:Sure, we will be dumb as an oyster. (我們一定守口如瓶)。oyster在這里,就不是生蠔的意思了。
