What`s your opinion?

I think we can combine our production with development. On the one hand, we must quicken our production and enlarge our sales to get more funds. On the other hand, we should waste no time to develop new products and occupy the market.

(我们可以将生产和开发结合起来。一方面，我们要加快生产，扩大销售，积累资金；另一方面，加紧研制，早日推出新产品，占领市场。)

In my opinion, I am in favor of expanding our present agencies rather than setting up new ones.

(我认为应该扩大我们现有的代理业务，而不是增设新代理❤)

To my view, quick service is one of our strongest points. If we get the reputation for being unreliable, our sales volume will drop.

(我认为我们最强的卖点就是便捷的服务，一旦我们因为不可靠出了名，公司的销量就会一落千丈。)

Although product development is important, I also think we need to find ways of upgrading our distribution network.

(虽然说产品的开发很重要，我认为我们也要想办法改进我们的配销网。)

Personally speaking, I am in favor of expanding …… （依我个人来说……）

What`s the first item on the agenda?

The first item is investment and development of new products.

(第一项议题是新产品投资开发)

First of all, let`s discuss the impact of the current financial crisis on our corporation.

(首先让我们讨论下当前金融危机对我们公司的影响。)

I think we all agree we are faced with a sluggish market, so we strongly recommend market research as our top item.

(我相信双方都同意目前市场疲软，所以我们强烈推荐把市场研究作为首要议题。)

Do you agree with me?

I agree with you that we have to spend on facilities, staff training, advertising and so on, but…….

(我同意我们需要花钱添置设备，员工培训，做广告等等，但是……)

I cannot agree with you more. （我很赞同。）

Yes, I am going to mention that. (是的，我正要提这事。)

Probably not . What I maintain is that ……. (也许不，我认为……)

A: I can assure the members of the Board that when this program is finished, our production capacity will be double.

B: I think you are a bit quick with your conclusion there.

A: I suggest to spend on facilities, staff training, advertising and so on……..

B: well, I still stick to my point. I think it is more advisable to upgrade our present facilities, postpone opening new agencies to next year instead of this year.

A: well, I will present your ideas to the board of directors. Okay, that`s all for today.

What`s on your mind? 你怎么想的呢？你的想法是什么？ 当对方有烦恼或者不愉悦的时候。

You seem very depressed, what`s on your mind? (你看起来很郁闷，有什么心事吗？)

Be on one`s mind 某人为某事担心

You are always on my mind. (我总是惦记着你)

Views on investment

A: Through consultation with my company, we`d like to establish an equity joint venture. What`s your opinion?

B: Great! It coincide with my aspiration. How much of a financial outlay is needed?

A: About ten million US dollars.

B: How much would you like to invest in this project?

A: As the general practice, we lay out about 56% of the total investment. This includes land, building, labor and funds in Renminbi.

B: What is the proportionate investment the foreign participant should make according to Chinese regulation?

A: The foreign investment proportion shall be no less than 25%. But there is no top limit.

B: Oh, I cannot give you a definite answer to this question for the moment. I`ll let you know in a few days.

Feedback opinions

A: Nora, before I officially announce the reorganization, I want your final feedback.

B: Well, I have gone through the entire plan again, and I`m sure the impact will be minimal, since we`re not planning large-scale firings or lay-offs.

A: This was a key objective from the start, in fact. We`ve arranged retraining for those who are not qualified but cut. If they accept, they can take new positions in our company.

B: That`s the best policy. Nevertheless, some employees may not want to change career paths in mid-stream, and will probably put in their notice.

A: I know, and we have a very fair compensation package for those who decide to quit. Some people can take advantage of our early retirement package. This may be a good opportunity to those abled non-performers.

B: As far as I know, and there aren`t too many of those any more. Hopefully, we don`t lose excellent people because of the reorganization.

A：I hope so. Are the new employee contracts ready?

B: Yes, they are, and all other appropriate forms have been modified. I`ve also set things in motion to revise our orientation process. We are ready to go!

A: Great! I think we have covered all the points. I`ll set up a general meeting for next Monday to make the announcement.

Item speech (议题发言)

A：Good morning. Let`s get started. What`s the first item on the agenda?

B: Let`s begin with the recent complaints about customer service that we received. Eric?

C: One of my clients sent a monitor in for some repairs three weeks ago, and he still hasn`t got it back. He said his company will look for another supplier if our turn around time doesn`t improve.

A: This is unacceptable. Quick service is one of our strongest points. If we get the reputation for being unreliable, our sales volume will drop.

C: I`ve also had complaints from customers who say that the service department is going downhill. One company had to send a monitor back three times before the problem was solved.

B: It`s useless to be prompt if we`re incompetent. I wonder whether the recent layoffs are affecting the quality of our customer service.

A: I`ll ask the vice president to meet with the service manager and find out what`s going on.

At the same time, the competition is getting more and more intense. Based on the analysis of machine tool production in the market, we come to the following conclusion: the competition focuses on the ordinary machine tools and the supply exceeds the demand. However there is a growing demand for digital and large-size machine tools and this demand exceeds the supply in the market. Therefore, we should take advantage of our technology and facilities to quicken the production and develop new products.

But we cannot just care about the present situation. We should have a sense of urgency. (我们不能只考虑现状，应有紧迫感。)

Actually we are now faced with challenge and threat from competition.

That`s to say, (也就是说。。。)

In case 意为：免得，以防万一。

Take your coat in case it rains. Take your coat in case it should rain.

Don`t forget to remind Daniel that Mr. Nathan will visit us as well.

(不要忘了提醒丹尼尔，内森先生也会到我们这儿来访问。)

Could you please sum up the main points of this discussion?

Sure, there are three major points. Firstly, we decided to set up agencies in new areas. Secondly, we planned to expand our business in the southwest of our country. Thirdly, our advertising budget would be increase by 5%.

Mode of shipment

A: Could you tell me how you will ship the goods?

B: We are ready for partial shipment.

A: I am afraid that partial shipment is not allowed. The goods we ordered are seasonal goods, so they must be shipped all at one time before November.

B: It is so difficult for us to book so much ship space at one time

　女人，应该活出自己的自信和精彩，不能把赖以生存的东西寄托在他人身上，不管他多么爱你，终有一天会厌倦你的依赖和无所事事。越有能力的女人，越自信；越有能力的女人，越可爱；越有能力的女人，越值得拥有和疼惜。

　　爱情，充满了热烈和激情，在热情恋爱中的男女，都会忽略掉对方的缺点，看到的都是优点，甚至失去理智和冷静。倘若恋爱时候，太过于理智和冷静，可能就不叫爱情。再热烈的爱，都有冷却的时候，冷却后的我们，始终是要考虑现实生活里的柴米油盐酱醋茶的。

　　最好的爱情，是能够经历时间的考验，在激情过后，依然愿意陪你在俗世烟火里，看细水长流。都说陪伴是最长情的爱，但是最好的陪伴，就是简单的柴米油盐。

　　人生充满世味，需要醉人的浪漫，更离不开俗世烟火，然而不是每一个人都会因为爱情，而走进一生无悔的圆满婚姻里。再浪漫的婚姻，都离不开柴米油盐酱醋茶的瓢碗碰撞。好的爱情和婚姻，是两个人同视着一个方向，携手并进。

　　在婚姻里，女人的独立并不是为了证明什么？而是让自己活的更精彩，让生活更幸福。优秀的女人，也会让你更具有魅力。真正爱你的人，不光让你有丰衣足食的生活，更会让你越来越优秀。

　　一个聪明的女人，她不会因为安逸的生活去爱上一个男人，她会因为这个男人的优秀而义无反顾的爱上他。一般来说，男人和女人，是一样的，都希望另一半是可以在生活里独立行走的人，是可以给自己成长和进步的人，能够让自己有安全感，绝不是在患得患失里生活。

　　真正爱你的人，没有配不配，也许对方不是最好条件的一个，但一定是那个可以让你进步，也最让你悸动心灵的人。没有谁愿意看到自己的另一半，每一天都在浑浑噩噩不思进取的活着。

　　爱你的人，相处中会让你越活越漂亮，越活越精彩。在爱情的路上，两个真心相爱的人，会彼此相互成长，相互快乐的进步。

　　你也许不优秀，但是因为爱，优秀可以影响你，这就叫，近朱者赤。若真心爱对方，不妨彼此一起努力，彼此鼓励，彼此进步，让距离不再越来越远。

　　距离近了，心才能更好的靠近。真爱对方，有时候也会相互改变。能够为了你改变自己，让自己变得更优秀的人，才是最爱你的人。
