这一课学什么

  • 礼貌请求重复

  • 用复述检查理解

情境:一份不够清楚的任务

Manager: Could you send the updated list this afternoon? Assistant: Of course. Before I start, could I check a few details? Do you mean the customer list or the event list? Manager: The event list, please. We added two speakers this morning, so the old version is no longer correct.

经理:你能今天下午发一下更新后的名单吗?助理:当然。开始前,我能确认几个细节吗?你是说客户名单,还是活动名单?经理:活动名单。今天早上新增了两位演讲者,旧版本已经不准确了。

追问:时间与对象

Assistant: What time do you need it, and who should receive it? Manager: Please email it to the design team by three. They need the names for the poster. Assistant: Should I copy you into the email? Manager: Yes, please. You can find the team address in yesterday's meeting notes.

助理:你几点需要,应该发给谁?经理:请三点前发邮件给设计团队。他们需要名字制作海报。助理:要把你抄送进邮件吗?经理:要的,谢谢。团队邮箱在昨天的会议记录里。

确认:用自己的话复述

Assistant: Just to check, I will update the event list with the two new speakers, then email it to the design team before three and copy you in. Is that right? Manager: Exactly. Thanks for checking. Assistant: Great. If I cannot find a spelling, I will ask you before sending it.

助理:确认一下,我会把两位新演讲者加入活动名单,三点前发给设计团队,并抄送你。这样对吗?经理:完全正确。谢谢你确认。助理:好的。如果有名字拼写找不到,我会发出前先问你。

Could I check…?

先表明要确认细节,让追问显得合作而非质疑任务。

Could I check who should receive it?

我能确认一下应该发给谁吗?

Just to check…Is that right?

把关键信息连起来复述,给对方纠正机会。

Just to check, you need the event list by three. Is that right?

确认一下,你三点前需要活动名单,对吗?
