Hey guys, welcome back to our Business English channel.

Today I want to start off with a question.

Have you ever felt so busy that you needed an extra pair of hands?

Have you ever felt the need to clone yourself?

Well, maybe you need to delegate more.

In this series, let's look at some top tips to improve your delegation skills.

First, start small.

Hand over tasks that don't need to be and tasks that are not paramount to the completion of your project.

Can you make sure a copy of these gets sent to all the clients by the end of the week?

Thanks.

Could you just draw up those proposals, print them out, edit and double check them

and then just get them ready and have them sent out to all the clients by the end of next week?

This allows you the chance to get used to handing over these responsibilities

and at the same time allows your team members a chance to get used to taking on those tasks.

Next, we need to play to our team's strengths.

Hey Cara, can you work on our logo design please?

Yeah, that's fine, no problem.

Hey Cara, can you work on our logo design please?

Ehh, seriously?

This will not only ensure that your team members stay happy and motivated,

But handing over tasks to those who have the necessary skills will also give you peace of mind

that these tasks can be achieved within your time frame and to a high enough standard.

Let's stop right there guys!

Today we're looking at idioms.

An idiom is

when the figurative meaning of what you are trying to say is different to the literal meaning of the phrase

that you use.

For example, I have a lot on my plate.

I am not talking about a plate that has a lot of food on it.

I just mean recently I have had a lot of things to do.

I have been very, very busy.

I have had a lot on my plate.

Great, let's jump straight back.

The more you delegate, remember at the end you will end up with a more well-rounded team.

I want to leave you with another idiom today.

Many hands make life work.

your team members, delegate those tasks.

It will help you relieve stress and will free up some time

so that you can help better manage your team's specific needs.

I hope you enjoyed our video today guys.

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 you ever felt · have had · have been
“will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測	will not only ensure · will also give · will end
現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事	we're looking · are trying · am not talking
義務：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的	need to delegate · need to be · need to play

需要注意的發音

說話人用了 3 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 don't, haven't, we're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。

“sh” 和 “zh” 音: delegation /dɛlɪˈɡeɪʃən/, completion /kəmˈpliː.ʃən/
長單詞——注意重音位置: figurative /ˈfɪɡəɹətɪv/, delegation /dɛlɪˈɡeɪʃən/

中文母語者容易讀錯的音：

/v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: figurative /ˈfɪɡəɹətɪv/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/, relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/
詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: delegate /ˈdɛlɪɡət/, figurative /ˈfɪɡəɹətɪv/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/, paramount /ˈpæɹəˌmaʊnt/, relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/
/r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/, literal /ˈlɪt(ə)ɹəl/

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。
先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟讀，熟練之後再回到正常速度。
錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 idiom, delegate, logo 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。
