商务英语播客 第40课:含糊地表达(下)
This is the second in our two-part Business English Pod series on strategically using vague language. Last time we covered being vague to make a polite excuse or to avoid sounding arrogant. We saw how you can use vague language to create flexibility.
今天是有关使用“含糊的语言”的2节英语商务播客中的第2节。上次我们学习了用含糊的语言来表示礼貌的借口来避免听起来傲慢。我们看到如何使用模糊的语言来灵活地创造。
Today we’ll work on referring to vague numbers and learn language you can use when you don’t remember the name of someone or something. You’ll also practice some more strategic uses of vague language, such as avoiding socially inappropriate or impolite topics.
