原汁原味商务英语播客第140课:开会畅所欲言(3)  

This is the third and final part of our Business English Pod series on getting your ideas across in meetings.
Meetings are a great opportunity to get your ideas across and influence other people. But doing that is no easy task. You need the right bination of tact
frankness
confidence
and humility. And you need some effective language techniques to manage that bination.
In today's lesson
we're going to look at several advanced techniques for expressing your ideas and menting on other people's opinions. These include leading into opinions
highlighting consequences
and redirecting a discussion. A lot of these techniques revolve around agreeing and disagreeing. We've looked at many of these in the first o parts
and today we'll continue by learning about strongly agreeing and disagreeing with negative questions.
在今天这一课中，我们将看到几个高级的技巧去表达你的观点和对别人的观点进行评论。这些技巧中有许多是和同意和反对有关的。我们将能在前两个部分听到，今天我们将继续学习对于消极的问题做出的强烈的同意很反对的表达。
