I'm Rebecca from engVid.

我是engVid的麗貝卡。

Today I'm especially excited to welcome you to a new series that I've created called:

今天，我特別興奮地歡迎大家參加我創作的一個新系列，叫做。

"How to Speak like a Manager".

"如何像經理一樣說話"。

In this series you will learn how to take general English and upgrade it to business

在這個系列中，您將學習如何將普通英語升級為商務英語。

English.

英文。

Okay?

好嗎？

And we'll be doing that by looking at different verbs that you can use, adjectives, nouns,

我們將通過觀察不同的動詞，你可以使用，形容詞，名詞。

and so on.

諸如此類。

Okay?

好嗎？

But today in this lesson we will be focusing on eight verbs.

但今天這節課我們將重點學習八個動詞。

But you might be asking: "Only eight verbs and I can become a manager?"

但你可能會問："只有八個動詞，我就能成為經理？"只有八個動詞，我就能成為經理？"

Well, yes.

嗯，是的。

"Why?"

"為什麼？"

Because I'm going to show you how these eight verbs, to start with, can actually be used

因為我要告訴你，這八個動詞，首先要告訴你，其實是如何使用的。

in hundreds of ways, in different collocations or combinations of words, so therefore you'll

在數以百計的方式，在不同的搭配或組合的單詞，所以，你會

be able to use them in all kinds of situations.

能夠在各種情況下使用它們。

Definitely in professional situations, but also in social situations or personal situations.

肯定是在職業場合，但也有在社交場合或個人場合。

Okay?

好嗎？

So, let's start right now.

所以，我們現在就開始吧。

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

So let's suppose what you want to say in general English or regular English is something like

所以，我們假設你想用普通英語或常規英語說的是這樣的話

this: "I need to find out what's wrong."

這個。"我需要找出問題所在"

Okay?

好嗎？

Now, on this side is all the regular English or the general English.

現在，這邊都是普通英語或通用英語。

Okay?

好嗎？

And on this side we're going to express the same idea, but in higher English, in more

而在這邊，我們要表達的是同樣的想法，但用更高級的英語，用更多的。

advanced business English or more professional English.

高級商務英語或更專業的英語。

And you're going to help me because I didn't write the word in yet.

而你要幫我，因為我還沒有把字寫進去。

You're going to help me because perhaps you already know some of these words, but even

你要幫助我，因為也許你已經知道了其中的一些單詞，但即使是。

if you know them you might not realize how many different ways we can actually use those

如果你認識他們，你可能不知道我們可以用多少種不同的方式來實際使用這些。

same words, and that's what I want you to be able to do.

同樣的話，這就是我希望你能做到的。

Okay?

好嗎？

So suppose your idea in your mind is that: "I need to find out what's wrong."

所以假設你心中的想法是："我需要找出問題所在"

So how can we say that in more professional English?

那麼如何用更專業的英語來表達呢？

"I need to", the verb starts with "i": "I need to _______ the problem.

"I need to"，動詞以 "i "開頭。"我需要______這個問題。

I need to identify the problem."

我需要找出問題所在。"

Okay?

好嗎？

So, our first word today is "identify".

所以，我們今天的第一個詞是 "鑑別"。

Say it after me: "identify the problem".

跟著我說。"找出問題"。

Good.

很好啊

Now, suppose the idea you're trying to convey is: "I need to fix the problem."

現在，假設你想表達的意思是："我需要解決這個問題"

Okay?

好嗎？

"Fix" is a very ordinary word, so what better word could we use here?

"修 "是一個很普通的詞，那麼在這裡我們還能用什麼更好的詞呢？

"I need to _______ the issue or the issues.

"我需要______問題或問題。

I need to", you might know this word.

我需要"，你可能知道這個詞。

"I need to resolve", okay?

"我需要解決"，好嗎？

So, "resolve" is just like "solve", but usually we say: "Solve the problem", but we might

所以，"解決 "就像 "解決 "一樣，但通常我們會說。"解決這個問題"，但我們可能會說

say: "Resolve the issue".

說："解決這個問題"。"解決這個問題"。

And "resolve" is an even higher, more advanced word.

而 "決心 "則是一個更高更高級的詞。

And the higher vocabulary that you use, the more professional you will sound.

而且你使用的詞彙量越高，聽起來就越專業。

Okay?

好嗎？

And that's what our goal is.

而這正是我們的目標。

Right?

對吧？

Okay, next: "I need to give people confidence."

好吧，下一個。"我需要給人們信心"

So what's a good word or verb for that?

那麼用什麼詞或動詞好呢？

"To give somebody confidence" is to, something starts with "m": "I need to _______ my employees.

"給某人信心 "是指，某事以 "m "開頭。"我需要______我的員工。

I need to..."

我需要..."

Do you know this word?

你知道這個詞嗎？

I'm sure you've heard it.

我相信你一定聽說過。

"Motivate".

"激勵"。

Okay?

好嗎？

Say it after me: "Motivate" or "motivate".

跟著我說。"激勵 "或 "激勵"。

You can say the "t"; sometimes it's easier and clearer for people to understand you when

你可以說 "t"；有時候，當你說 "t "的時候，人們會更容易更清楚地理解你。

you say the "t".

你說的 "T"。

So let's say the "t" now: "Motivate.

所以我們現在就說 "t"。"激勵"。

I need to motivate my employees" or: "I need to motivate my employees."

我需要激勵我的員工 "或："我需要激勵我的員工"。

Okay?

好嗎？

Instead of saying: "I need to give people confidence", because you see that all the

而不是說："我需要給人們信心"。"我需要給人們信心"，因為你看到，所有的...

verbs here are very ordinary, everyday verbs, and those are higher-level verbs.

這裡的動詞都是很普通的日常動詞，這些都是更高級別的動詞。

Next: "I need to give clients my attention."

下一個"我需要給客戶我的關注。"

Again, we have a very weak verb here, so how can you say that: "I need to give my attention

同樣，我們這裡有一個很弱的動詞，你怎麼能這麼說。"我需要把我的注意力

to my clients or give clients my attention"?

給我的客戶或給客戶我的關注"？

The word...

這個詞...

The verb starts with "f": "I need to _______ on our clients."

動詞以 "f "開頭。"我需要對我們的客戶進行______"。

What's the verb?

什麼是動詞？

Do you know it?

你知道嗎？

"I need to focus", okay?

"我需要集中精力"，好嗎？

Say it after me: "Focus".

跟著我說。"專注"。

Be careful how you pronounce this word because otherwise it can sound improper.

要注意這個詞的發音，否則會讓人覺得不妥。

All right?

好嗎？

"I need to focus on our clients."

"我需要專注於我們的客戶。"

Sounds a lot better than saying: "I need to give my attention to my clients."

聽起來比說"我需要把注意力放在客戶身上"

Okay?

好嗎？

"I need to focus".

"我需要專注"。

Next: "I need to spend as little as possible".

下一個"我需要儘量少花錢"。

"Spend as little" means spend as little money.

"少花錢 "就是少花錢。

So what's one word that captures that idea, to spend as little as possible?

那麼，用一個什麼詞來體現這個理念，儘量少花錢呢？

It starts with "m": "I need to _______ our expenses or our costs."

它以 "m "開頭。"我需要______我們的開支或成本。"

Do you know what it is?

你知道這是什麼嗎？

Okay?

好嗎？

So the word is "minimize".

所以說是 "最小化"。

Okay?

好嗎？

I've written it twice because this is the American way with a "z" or a "z", and this

我寫了兩遍，因為這是美國人的方式，帶 "z "或 "z"，而這。

is the British spelling with a "s"; both are correct.

是帶 "s "的英式拼法，兩者都是正確的。

So: "I need to minimize our expenses."

所以說"我需要儘量減少我們的開支"

When you minimize something, you reduce it to as much as possible.

當你把某件事情降到最低的時候，你就把它降到儘可能多的程度。

Okay?

好嗎？

"Minimize".

And, again, we're going to see so many different ways in which we can use this verb and all

而且，再次，我們將看到這麼多不同的方式 我們可以使用這個動詞和所有的。

of these verbs.

的這些動詞。

Okay?

好嗎？

Not just the way I've done it here with "resolve the issues".

不僅僅是我這裡的 "解決問題 "的方式。

We're going to see lots of other things you can resolve or lots of other things you can

我們將看到很多其他的事情，你可以解決或很多其他的事情，你可以。

minimize.

儘量減少。

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

Next: "I need to make as much money as possible."

下一個"我需要賺儘可能多的錢。"

Don't we all?

我們不都是嗎？

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

So, what's a good verb for that?

那麼，什麼動詞好呢？

Again, something that starts with "m": "I need to _______ our earnings".

同樣是以 "m "開頭的東西。"我需要______我們的收入"。

"Earnings" means the money that you make.

"賺 "是指你賺的錢。

So what's the verb?

那麼動詞是什麼呢？

It's very similar to "minimize"...

這和 "最小化 "非常相似... ...

It's actually the opposite of "minimize", it is...

其實這與 "最小化 "正好相反，它是...

Yeah, I can hear some of you.

是的，我可以聽到你們中的一些人。

"Maximize", good.

"最大化"，好。

Okay?

好嗎？

Again, I'm going to write it with the "z" or the "z", but you can also write it with

再次強調，我要用 "z "或 "z "來寫，但你也可以寫成

an "s" and it's correct.

一個 "s"，它是正確的。

What you need to do regarding that British and American spelling is stay consistent.

關於那個英美式的拼寫，你需要做的是保持一致。

If you're using American spelling, then use American spelling; if you're using British

如果你用的是美式拼法，那就用美式拼法；如果你用的是英式拼法。

spelling, use British.

拼寫，用英式。

Okay?

好嗎？

Try to stay consistent.

Next: "I need to get more work."

下一個"我需要得到更多的工作。"

We're not making enough money.

我們沒有賺到足夠的錢。

We need more work.

我們需要更多的工作。

So instead of saying: "Get more work", we can say: "_______ more business".

所以，與其說："多找些工作"，我們可以說："做更多的生意"。

What's that really good verb here?

這裡的動詞真不錯，是什麼？

It starts with "g": "generate".

它以 "g "開頭。"生成"。

Okay?

好嗎？

"Generate more business" means to make, create...

"創造更多的業務 "是指讓、創造...

Create more business.

創造更多的生意。

Okay?

好嗎？

Instead of just saying: "Get more work", which sounds very ordinary: "We need to generate

而不是隻說："多幹點活兒"，這聽起來很普通。"我們需要產生

more business.

更多的業務。

We need to create more business."

我們需要創造更多的業務。"

Okay?

好嗎？

And the last one: "I need to use the new ideas."

還有最後一個。"我需要使用新的想法。"

So, instead of saying "use", there is a verb that starts with "i" which means to put something

所以，有一個以 "i "開頭的動詞，而不是說 "使用"，意思是把某物

into practice, to use it: "I need to _______ the strategies" or "I need to _______ the

到實踐中去，運用它。"我需要_______策略 "或 "我需要_______策略"。

你想用它，你想付諸實踐，你想實施它。

But not only can you implement ideas, you can implement lots of other things which we're

但是，你不僅可以實現想法，你還可以實現很多其他的東西，這也是我們的。

going to talk about as we continue the lesson, but here we're talking about implementing

在我們繼續上課的時候會講到，但這裡我們要講的是如何實現

a strategy, which is a plan.

戰略，也就是計劃。

So, repeat after me now, just get used to saying these things out loud.
