English Only

最近因為國外客戶要來訪,引起本小組的一陣恐慌,因為不僅僅是要作Presentation,還要與這位嘉賓共進晚餐。所以本小組三人決定即日起進行「English Only」的政策,來惡補我們的英文實力。(咦..那我現在在寫什麼阿...)

所以,今天我們三個趁著要一起去京華城拿東西、並且共進午餐的路上,開始了生澀的英語對話,節錄幾段如下:


Karen: "What did you eat at breakfast today?"
Phoebe: "I ate nothing."
Cathy: "I ate toast."
Karen: "Just toast? I ate sandwitch, so I had a butterfly in my stomach."
Phoebe: "Really? So beautiful!"

接著...

Karen: "We can talk about the movie 'Brokeback Mountain' on that day."
Phoebe: "Cathy, have you seen the movie?"
Cathy: "No..not yet. And you?"
Phoebe & Karen: "We went to this movie together."

.....然後三人一陣沈默....

後來進了公司...

Phoebe: "Karen, can I borrow your...喀喀?"(搭配手勢,「釘書機」)
Karen: "Oh..."

她立刻轉頭,但不是要找她的釘書機給我,是去查字典。
Karen: "Stapler?"
Phoebe: "Yes, can I borrow your stapler?"
Karen: "Ya, you're welcome"
Phoebe: "Thank you"
Doris: "麻煩貴小組就這樣一直持續到下午阿!"

後來我把MSN的暱稱改成「不要逼我說中文喔」
結果客戶打來了...
Phoebe:「喂,你好。」
Angel:「你怎麼說中文?」
Phoebe:「喔...Good morning, Angel..」
Angel:「呵呵,已經下午了耶。」
Phoebe:「OK..Good afternoon, Angel...」
後來,Angel也發了狂說要跟我們用英文來練習對話和打字。
Angel:「Can I chat with you in English?」
Phoebe只好硬著頭皮說:「Ok...It's my pleasure...」

總之,星期五要來了,這將會影響我這一生對英文的喜好程度,目前感覺上還算OK,聽ICRT也漸漸上了軌道,希望...跟真人對談時也可以非常順利!

也希望她看過斷背山...

  5. Dear bibo, I believe you will please your clients. Don't worry, be happy and relaxed. Talk something about sports or the city he/she lives; I think that will be better than brokeback mountain. I guess non of my classmates went to see this movie before I forced them to do so.

  8. OK!! Thank you for your information,

  9. Actually, we asked Elizabeth about this.
    She said that a lot of American don't like the movie in a fact.
    I am so curious about the reason.

    But I didn't ask her.
    this may be relating to everyone's ideology...
    Moreover,
    maybe I have to use more words to discuss...
