和同事讨论公事,和老板开会,或是和客户推销 idea,经常需要使用大量的英文词汇和句子,但对于平常不是用英文沟通的我们来说,要突然转换语言大脑难免会突然当机。
根据著名英文频道 VoiceTube ,以下是经常在职场使用的 19 句英文短句,无论你想表达同意、不同意,都可以找到适合的句子哦!
首先,用 agree 和 disagree 来表达赞同或不赞同就是基本款,让我们来看看他有哪三种最基本的用法:
1 agree / disagree with + 人+ on + 事情
I disagreed with Jack on the agenda of our meeting. 我不同意Jack 提出的会议议程。
2 agree / disagree to + 动词原形
They agreed to give us the proposal tomorrow. 他们同意明天要给我们提案。
3 agree / disagree that + 子句
I agree that we should start the campaign before they release their latest product. 我同意我们应该要在他们发表最新产品前开始活动。
虽说同不同意只是将上述的三种句型做不同的排列组合,但要怎么样在赞同或是否定别人之余「表达自己的意见」才是学问,就让我们把以下经典句型背起来吧!
Agree
1. You can say that again. 我同意
2. I go along with you. 我赞成你的意见
A: The economy is still unstable in this country, we should spend more time observing it. 这个国家的经济仍不稳定,我们应该花更多时间观察。
B: I go along with you. 我同意。
3. I feel much the same way. 我有一样的想法
A: Don’t you think the project he proposed is impracticable? A: 你不觉得他提出的计画难以实行吗?
B: I feel much the same way. B: 我也是这样觉得。
4 I am in favor of… 我赞成…
5 I’m of the same opinion. 我同意

B: I’m of the same opinion. 我完全同意。
6 That's exactly what I was trying to say. 这就是我想要说的
A: In order to meet our target this month, we should launch a new campaign. 为了达到我们这个月的目标,我们应该要发起新一波的活动。

7 I couldn’t agree with you more. 我完全同意!

B: I couldn’t agree with you more. 我完全同意。
Disagree
如果怕拒绝他人太鲁莽,在否定之前,先「称赞」或「再次确认」其他人的想法也是个好主意哦!除了提供的经典句型以外,底下画线的句型能让你的说话不会那么冲,好人缘就靠他了,一定要学起来!
8 I can’t really go along with you there. 我无法同意你说的
