商務(wù)聊天中會用到的運(yùn)動術(shù)語
Closing a Deal 達(dá)成協(xié)議
(In a typical office somewhere in New York)
(在紐約某處一家典型的辦公室)
Bob: Well, is Trevisos going to play ball or are we going to strike out on this deal?
Pete: The latest locker talk is that our game plan is a real contender for the contract.
鮑勃：這個生意Trevisos是打算跟我們合作了還是要把我們?nèi)癯鼍至四?
皮特：據(jù)最新的小道消息說，我們的方案對這個合同很有競爭力。
play ball：baseball-play a game, idiom-do business with
play ball在棒球中表示打一場比賽的意思，短語的意思就是和……做生意
strike out：baseball-go out, idiom-fail
strike out在棒球中表示三振出局，也就意味著失敗了
locker talk：general sports-talk among the players, idiom-gossip, rumors
locker是鎖東西的柜子，locker room指的就是更衣間，在通常運(yùn)動中，locker talk表示運(yùn)動員之間的談話，更衣室內(nèi)的談話，于是也就有了流言、傳言、小道消息的意思。gossip這個詞相信看過《緋聞女孩》的朋友都很熟悉。
game plan：American football-plan which plays to make, idiom-plan of action
game plan在美式足球也就是橄欖球術(shù)語中表示球隊比賽的策略，短語的意思是行動計劃、行動方案。
Bob: Yeah, the other team has two strikes against it after they fumbled last week.
Pete: They had a great chance of scoring but I think Trevisos thought they weren't up to scratch on some of the details.
鮑勃：對，另外一組在上周犯了大錯之后處境已經(jīng)很不利了。
皮特：他們本來有個大好的機(jī)會，但是我覺得Trevisos會認(rèn)為他們在一些細(xì)節(jié)問題上不太合格。
two strikes against it：baseball-one step from going out or loosing, idiom-close to not succeeding
棒球中表示兩擊不中，換句話說，再有一次失敗就要三振出局了，所以短語的意思就是離失敗很近了，處境不利、形勢不好的意思。

在橄欖球中表示漏球了，這可是很嚴(yán)重的錯誤。

Pete: If our numbers are right, we should be able to call the shots from here.
鮑勃：他們從Smith's and Co.拿數(shù)字的時候太拖拉了，把自己逼到山窮水盡的地步。要是咱們能在下次開會的時候干的漂亮點，我覺得我們應(yīng)該可以繼續(xù)往前走了。
皮特：如果我們的數(shù)字是對的，我們應(yīng)該就能在這里一舉拿下了。

接電話如何讓對方慢點兒說話?
One of the biggest problems is speed. Native speakers, especially business people, tend to speak very quickly on the telephone. Here are some practical tips to get native speakers of English to slow down!
主要的.一個問題是語速。說母語的人，尤其是商務(wù)人士，打電話的時候說話語速都很快。下面是一些實用的小貼士可以讓母語是英語的人放慢說話的速度。
* Immediately ask the person to speak slowly.
* 直接請這個人慢點說。
* When taking note of a name or important information, repeat each piece of information as the person speaks.
* 記錄一個名字或者重要信息的時候，打電話的人說一句你就重復(fù)一句。
This is an especially effective tool. By repeating each important piece of information or each number or letter as the spell or give you a telephone number you automatically slow the speaker down.
這是一個很有效的策略。通過重復(fù)每一個重要的信息、每一個數(shù)字、每一個字母的時候都會讓說話人的語速自動放慢。
* Do not say you have understood if you have not. Ask the person to repeat until you have understood.
* 如果沒聽懂就別說你懂了。讓這個人重復(fù)一下直到你懂了。
Remember that the other person needs to make himself/herself understood and it is in his/her interest to make sure that you have understood. If you ask a person to explain more than twice they will usually slow down.
記住別人需要自己的話被聽懂。確保你能聽懂關(guān)系到他或她的利益。如果你請一個人解釋兩次以上，通常這個人會放慢語速。
* If the person does not slow down begin speaking your own language!
* 如果這個人還不放慢語速你就開始說你的母語。(這招狠!)
A sentence or two of another language spoken quickly will remind the person that they are fortunate because THEY do not need to speak a different language to communicate. Used carefully, this exercise in humbling the other speaker can be very effective. Just be sure to use it with colleagues and not with a boss :-)!
快速的說一兩個句子會提醒打電話的人他們是很幸運(yùn)的因為他們不用使用不同的語言來交流。不過用這招要小心點，這種方法羞辱別人很有效，所以要確定你這么做的對象是你同事而不是你老板!
