未來簡單式

I'm Ronnie, and today we're going to talk about something that's kind of boring.

我是羅尼，今天我們要聊的話題有點無聊。

So, you can have business meetings, you can have staff meetings, you can have meetings with your...

是以，您可以召開商務會議，可以召開員工會議，可以與您的...

So, whether you're doing business or staff or work meetings online or in person, I'm here to help you build your confidence while doing these scary meetings in English.

是以，無論您是在網上還是親自參加商務會議、員工會議或工作會議，我都會幫助您在用英語參加這些可怕的會議時建立自信。

Because English maybe is not your first language.

So, through all this, I want you to remind yourself, and this is...

是以，通過這一切，我希望你提醒自己，這是...

If you take anything from this video, take this.

如果你從這段視頻中得到了什麼啟示，那就請記住這一點。

English is not my first language, so any mistakes that I make in the meeting, that's cool.

英語不是我的母語，所以我在會議上犯的任何錯誤都沒關係。

And if people at the meeting are kind of putting you down or dissing you because you don't speak as a natural English speaker, you can quite simply say to them, Well, excuse me, how many other languages do you speak other than English?

如果在會議上有人因為你的英語口語不夠流利而貶低你或詆譭你，你可以很簡單地對他們說："請問，除了英語，你還會說幾種其他語言？

Well, just to let everyone know, again, English is not my first language, and I'm doing this bilingually, so let's go.

好吧，為了讓大家知道，再說一遍，英語不是我的母語，我是用雙語來做這件事的，所以我們開始吧。

You all have the same anxiety, maybe some more in person, some more online.

你們都有同樣的焦慮，也許有些人在人前更焦慮，有些人在網上更焦慮。

And this idea came to me because I was in a store, and I saw a person that worked in the store, and I said very clearly in English, native speaker to native speaker, excuse me, where's the pet section?

我萌生這個想法是因為我在一家商店裡，看到一個在店裡工作的人，我用英語非常清楚地對他說："請問，寵物區在哪裡？

And the staff member looked dumbfounded or drew a blank, was like...

而工作人員則一臉茫然，或者說是一臉茫然，就像...

And it was seriously that long of a pause.

And I thought, okay, Ronnie, relax, relax, relax.

我想，好吧，羅尼，放鬆，放鬆，放鬆。

Again, perfect English, short question, native speaker to native speaker, okay?

再說一遍，完美的英語，簡短的問題，母語人士對母語人士，好嗎？

And I thought to myself, dude, the thing that I told you was a very well put together, grammatically sound sentence.

我心想，哥們兒，我跟你說的那句話可真是句句到位，文法通順。

I didn't mumble, I made eye contact, I was direct, I was friendly, I had a smile on my face, and she still couldn't respond.

我沒有喃喃自語，我有眼神交流，我很直接，我很友好，我臉上帶著微笑，但她還是沒有反應。

And I thought, imagine if I was in the native speaker and I asked someone in a store, excuse me, where's the pet section?

我想，想象一下，如果我是母語使用者，我在商店裡問別人，請問寵物區在哪裡？

I would feel like I'm not communicating well.

You probably speak English really, really well, okay?

你的英語可能說得非常非常好，好嗎？

So, maybe you're at the meeting or you're online and you see the other people, the other people out there in human land, and maybe their facial expressions are like...

所以，也許你在會議上或在網上看到其他人，在人類世界裡的其他人，也許他們的面部表情就像...

或者人們在會議期間做的任何事情。

Their body language is telling you, like, whoa, hey, this is kind of shit, I don't know what's going on.

他們的肢體語言會告訴你，哇，嘿，這有點糟糕，我不知道發生了什麼。

Or they're not making eye contact with you as a presenter.

或者，他們沒有與作為主持人的你進行眼神交流。

So, you're up there, you're doing your best, you've got your nice shirt on, you've done your hair, taken a bath, taken a shower, and your audience are just kind of zombies, not responding.

所以，你在臺上盡心盡力，穿上漂亮的襯衫，做了頭髮，洗了澡，衝了涼，而你的觀眾卻像行屍走肉一樣，毫無反應。

You think, oh my god, this presentation's terrible, I can't do it, no, I'm going to...

你會想，天哪，這個演講太糟糕了，我做不來，不，我要...

Maybe these people are just, like, I don't know, they're doing other things, their minds are other places.

也許這些人只是，比如，我不知道，他們在做其他事情，心不在焉。

It's like, oh shit, what do I need to pick up for dinner tonight, and what did I eat for lunch?

這就像，哦，該死的，我需要為今晚的晚餐準備什麼，我中午吃了什麼？

Don't worry about the other people, worry about yourself.

And if you think that people don't understand you, ask them.

如果你認為別人不理解你，那就問問他們。

Don't ever say, oh my god, no one understands, my English is terrible.

千萬不要說，天哪，沒人聽得懂，我的英語太爛了。

You come straight up to those people and say, hello, are you live?

你直接走到那些人面前說，你好，你還活著嗎？

Did you not understand what I said to you?

In perfect English, by the way, thank you.

順便說一句，謝謝你的完美英語。

And you'll probably discover that people understood you, your English is amazing, your presentation was great, and they're just bored.

你可能會發現，人們聽懂了你的話，你的英語很棒，你的演講也很精彩，他們只是覺得無聊而已。

Because business meetings are pretty boring, like, can you just not send this in an email as I look in my invisible watch?

因為商務會議非常無聊，比如，你能不能不要一邊看著我的隱形手錶，一邊用電子郵件發送這個？

所以，我不想讓你覺得是你的問題。

I want you to be confident, and I want you to know you're doing your best, you're doing a great job, and you're going to kick ass at this meeting.

我希望你充滿自信，我希望你知道你已經盡了最大努力，你做得很好，你將在這次會議上大顯身手。

你說，羅尼，對你來說很容易。

Your English is not native speaker level, your English isn't high advanced, intermediate, but share your ideas.

您的英語不是母語水準，您的英語不是高級或中級水準，但請與我們分享您的想法。

You are important in this business, in this company.

在這個行業，在這個公司，你很重要。

They didn't hire you because you're not good at your job, they hired you because you're good at your job, you're good at giving ideas.

他們僱用你不是因為你不擅長你的工作，而是因為你擅長你的工作，你善於出謀劃策。

You're in this position because you earned it.

你能坐上這個位置，是你應得的。

Again, if you think they don't understand you, you ask them.

同樣，如果你認為他們不理解你，你可以問他們。

Say, hmm, hey, hey, hey, hey, Larry, yeah, yeah, yeah, eye contact, good.

說，嗯，嘿，嘿，嘿，嘿，拉里，對，對，對，眼神交流，很好。

And Larry's like, oh yeah, great, great, right as rain, Ronnie, okay, perfect.

拉里就說，哦，好極了，好極了，就像下雨一樣，羅尼，好的，完美。

So, when you ask people questions, you get them involved.

是以，當你向人們提問時，就會讓他們參與進來。
