Hi everyone.
2
In this video, we will listen to a business dialogue in which a client negotiates new agreements.
3
Listen carefully and at the end you can take a comprehension test.
4
Let's begin.
5
Good afternoon.
6
Mia Sanders speaking.
7
What can I do for you?
8
Hi Mia, it's Brian from Smart Tech Solutions.
9
I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time.
10
Not at all.
11
It's always nice to hear from you.
12
How are things on your end?
13
Busy as always.
14
We have had a hectic week with some unexpected delays, but we are managing.
15
I'm calling about our last order, actually.
16
Ah, yes.
17
That order was sent out two days ago.
18
Everything arrived in good condition, I hope?
19
definitely everything arrived right on time and perfectly packed thank you
20
but i wanted to speak to you about the invoice
21
and our payment schedule i was hoping to ask for a small favor
22
a favor sure tell me what's going on well i feel a bit awkward bringing this up
23
but we're facing a few cash flow issues
24
this month would it be possible to extend the payment terms from 30 days to 60 days just
25
this once hmm let's take a look
26
that's a bit tricky as you know our company policy is quite strict about payments
27
we rely on those terms to manage our own accounts i completely understand and i wouldn't be asking if it weren't necessary
28
The situation is temporary, and we've already taken steps to fix it.
29
Actually, I'm also planning to place another order, same size as the last one.
30
Oh, really?
31
That's great news.
32
Is the new order for the same client?
33
Yes, it is.
34
And the best part is that they pay up front.
35
So once that's done, we'll be back on track.
36
That's good to hear.
37
just to confirm the next order will be placed this week exactly
38
i will email the full details by this afternoon okay in
39
that case i think we can make a one -time exception
40
but just this once brian next time no doubt we will need to stick to the usual routine absolutely i completely agree
41
Thanks so much, Mia.
42
This really helps us out.
43
No problem.
44
We value your business, and we always try to support our long -term partners when we can.
45
That means a lot.
46
Could you send me a quick email just confirming the 60 -day payment term? Of course.
47
I will send it right after this call.
48
And I'll keep an eye out for your order email too.
49
Perfect.
50
You've been a lifesaver today.
51
Thanks again, Mia.
52
You are very welcome.
53
Have a great rest of your day, Brian.
54
You too.
55

影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have had · we've already taken · You've been |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | was sent · will be placed |
| “will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測 | will listen · we'll be · will be |
| 現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事 | I'm not catching · are managing · I'm calling |
需要注意的發音
說話人用了 10 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 I'm, I'll, we'll。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/, exception /əkˈsɛpʃən/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: temporary /ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/, unexpected /ʌnɪkˈspɛktɪd/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: arrive /əˈɹaɪv/, invoice /ˈɪnˌvɔɪs/, lifesaver /ˈlaɪfˌseɪvəɹ/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: arrive /əˈɹaɪv/, extend /ɛkˈstɛnd/, awkward /ˈɔk.wɚd/, dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, strict /stɹɪkt/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: carefully /ˈkɛɹf(ə)li/, rely /ɹɪˈlaɪ/, lifesaver /ˈlaɪfˌseɪvəɹ/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
- 用正常速度逐句跟讀，每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 confirm, arrive, comprehension 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
