OK, let's begin then with some strong ways

OK，我們從強烈的表達方式說起

to introduce your point of view, your opinion in English.

要以英語說出你的觀點和想法

So as I said in the introduction of this video, number one:

就如同我在影片介紹裡講的，第一種：

"I'm absolutely positive... "

「我非常肯定⋯⋯」

Alright? Positive, is like certain, convinced, 100% sure,

肯定、確定、有信服力的、百分之百確定

"I'm absolutely positive that we're going to make this sale."

「我非常肯定我們能完成這個交易。」

"I'm absolutely positive that this year will be a successful year."

「我非常肯定今年會是成功的一年。」

Alright, another extremely strong way of introducing your opinion

好，另種闡述自己觀點的強烈說法

is by saying, "I have no doubt whatsoever that..."

你能說：「無論如何，我堅信⋯⋯」

OK, "I have no doubt...","I have no doubt whatsoever...", like, no doubt at all, no doubt whatsoever...

OK，「我堅信⋯⋯」、「無論如何，我堅信⋯⋯」，就像是無庸置疑，無論如何都毫不懷疑

For example, "I have no doubt whatsoever that she is the best person for the job."

例如，「無論如何，我堅信她是這份工作的最佳人選。」

"I have no doubt whatsoever that she is the best person for the job."

「無論如何，我堅信她是這份工作的最佳人選。」

Next we have "There's no question...", "There's no question that..."

下一個我們能用「毋庸置疑⋯⋯」、「毫無疑問⋯⋯」

OK, for example, "There's no question that this is a better company than this one, but it's more expensive."

OK,譬如，「毫無疑問這家公司比那家好，可是這家比較貴。」

OK, "There's no question that this is a better company than this one,

OK，「毫無疑問這家公司比那家好，

but yeah, the prices are higher." And finally, if you want to introduce a strong opinion in English

但是沒錯，它價錢比較高。」最後，若你想要用強硬方式以英文表達意見

you can say "I really think...". Not just "I think..." but "I really think..."

你可以說「我真的覺得⋯⋯」不只是用「我覺得⋯⋯」而是用「我真的覺得⋯⋯」

"I really think we should outsource this work to an external company."

「我真的覺得我們該將這個工作外包給外面的公司。」

"I really think we should outsource this job to an external company."

「我真的覺得我們該將這個工作外包給外面的公司。」

OK, now we have your normal opinion,

OK，現在我們來學正常表態說法，

they're strong opinions but if you just want to express your opinion in a normal way,

這些是強烈表達的方法，但若你只想普通表現你的觀點

not very strong and not very weak, there are plenty of ways to do this

不是太強硬或太委婉的話，有幾個方式可以做到

and I'm sure you know some of them already. "I think that..." or "I feel that..."

且我確定你已經知道一些了。「我覺得⋯⋯」或「我想⋯⋯」

So, "I think that we made the wrong decision.", or "I feel that we made the wrong decision."

「我覺得我們做了錯誤的決定。」或「我想我們做了錯誤的決定。」

Or "In my opinion...", OK? "In my opinion." "In my opinion, their customer service is rubbish!"

或是「我覺得⋯⋯」OK？「我覺得」「我覺得他們的客服簡直糟透了！」

Another couple of ways is "I'd say that...", " I'd say..."

另外幾個方式是「我會覺得⋯⋯」、「我想說」

"I'd say that we should use some of the budget for internal training."

「我會覺得是我們該使用一些預算在內部訓練上。」

"I'd say that we should use some of the budget for internal training."

「我想說我們該使用一些預算在內部訓練上。」

And finally, "What I think...", yeah? "What I think is that..."

接著最後「我想的是⋯⋯」對，「我是這樣覺得⋯⋯」

Alright, "What I think is that more time should be spent on social media marketing."

好，「我是覺得我們該花多點時間在社群媒體市場上。」

Right now, for some weak opinions, and this is where you want to give your opinion

現在，要學點委婉說法了，這是用在當你想發表意見

but, you know, you're not 100% sure that your opinion is correct.

但，你懂的，你並不是百分之百確定你的想法是正確的

Maybe you... maybe you don't want to be too strong

可能你⋯⋯可能你並不想太強勢

so that you don't offend the person you're talking to,

這樣你就不會冒犯到跟你說話的人

you don't want to be too direct...

你不想過於直接

this is very common for British people

我覺得這對我們嘗試不要太直接的英國人而言

who I think naturally we try not to be so direct,

是相當普遍的

and depending on who you're talking to

這也取決你在跟誰說話

it's sometimes a good idea to use these weak introductions to put your opinion forward.

有時將這些委婉方式作為你意見的開頭是好的辦法

OK, so the first one of these weak opinions is,

OK，第一個委婉地表達方法是

"I'm no expert on this, but..."

「我並非這方面的專家⋯⋯不過⋯⋯」

"Hey! I'm no expert on this, but I think the product would look better in green."

「嘿！我並不是這方面的專家，但是我覺得這個產品做成綠色會比較好看。」

OK, you can also say that "I'm not too sure, but..."

OK，你也能說「我不是很確定，不過...」

Yeah, "I'm not too sure, boss. But I think that working on a Saturday morning isn't a great idea."

耶，「老闆，我不是很確定。但是我覺得在週六上午工作並不是個好點子。」

And finally, "I would probably say that..."

再來最後，「我大概會這樣說⋯⋯」

Alright, so when we use this expression it's like hypothetically,

好，所以當我們用這說法，就像假設性語氣

if I gave you my direct opinion I would probably say that...

若要我給你明確的方向，我大概會說⋯⋯

Alright, but obviously we don't say the rest,

好，但很明顯我們不會說出後面剩下的部分

we just say "I would probably say that..." For example, "I would probably say that

我們只會講「我大概會這樣說⋯⋯」舉例來說，「我大概會說

opening a new branch in the same town was a bad idea." OK, to summarize,

在同個城鎮再開個新分行不會是個好想法。」OK，總而言之

I really think you should give this video a thumbs up.

我真的覺得你們該給這支影片一個讚
