and phrases that you absolutely need to know
以及你绝对需要掌握的短语
3
if you're having online meetings in English so that you can participate like a pro.
4
Let's get straight into it.
5
Let's start with small talk.
6
I think we all know that feeling
7
when you sign into a meeting a couple minutes early and it's just you and one other person there.
8
It can be a little awkward.
9
So to break the ice and make some polite conversation, you can ask some good open-ended questions like, how's everything in New York?
10
What's keeping you busy these days?
11
Do you have any interesting projects on the horizon?
12
Have you been following the, and then name maybe a global event or something important going on in your industry, for example.
13
If you're the one leading the meeting, you need to say something to signal to the group that it's time to begin.
14
And we usually start this with words like, okay, all right, followed by things like, it looks like everybody's here, so let's kick off.
15
Shall we begin?
16
It's two o'clock, so let's get started.
17
Now, a frustrating part of online meetings is the tendency for people to talk over each other, even if they don't necessarily mean to interrupt.
18
So when that happens, you can say something like, my apologies for interrupting.
19
Go ahead, Teresa.
20
Now if you want to interrupt someone in face-to-face communication, you can do it more subtly with gestures or facial expressions,
21
but in an online setting you have to be a little more direct.
22
It's always best to use the person's first name to get their attention in a polite way.
23
For example, Martina, if I may, Kevin, can I jump in here for a second?
24
Sorry to interrupt, but now if someone interrupts you, you can say, just let me finish my point here.
25
I'm not quite finished.
26
Or you can allow them to interrupt you by saying, go ahead.

31
All right, now if you're leading a meeting or presenting during a meeting and you need to pause to do something, like to get a file or to share your screen,
32
communicate to the group what you're doing.
33
Don't just go silent.
34
For example, you can say things like, I'm gonna share my screen now.
35
Bear with me while I pull up the document.
36
Give me a second.
37
I'm going to check my Wi-Fi connection.
38
Now, what would an online meeting be without some technical issues?
39
If you run into a problem, you can say, apologies, I'm having some technical difficulties.
40
There seems to be a problem with the connection on my end.
41
When your video doesn't move due to a bad connection, we use the expression to be frozen.
42
So we say, for example, the screen is frozen or John, you're frozen.
43
Of course, during online meetings, we often have audio issues, which make it hard for people to hear each other or even understand what others are saying.
44
So when that happens
45
and you need to ask someone to repeat themselves you can say things like I didn't catch
46
that can you say
47
that again can you speak up a little we can't hear you can you come closer to the microphone
48
if there's a lot of noise where you are you can say excuse the background noise
49
if someone's microphone is off you can say you're on mute
50
or sorry I was on mute and when you can only hear parts of what someone is because the connection is interrupted,
51
we use the expression to break up.
52
So you could say to them, you're breaking up.
53
Now, if someone's unexpectedly disconnected from the meeting, we say that we've lost that person.
54
Did we lose Andrew?
55
You can also ask if the person is still there.
56
Are you there, Carla?
57
If everything's back to normal, then you can say, oh, Andrew's back.
58
Yes, we can hear you now.
59
If the meeting is taking longer than planned
60
and you need to leave before it's finished you can say
61
sorry i have a hard stop at two o'clock i need to go
62
or more informally you can say sorry guys i gotta jump
63
or i gotta drop now
64
when the meeting is ending before you sign off it's good business etiquette to thank everyone
65

为什么用这个视频练习口语?
在线会议是当今职场最常用的沟通场景之一,用好英语短语能让你自信表达、避免尴尬,甚至提升职业形象。这个视频聚焦40个高频表达,从破冰闲聊到应对技术问题,覆盖会议全流程。通过英语影子跟读模仿发音和语调,你能快速掌握地道用法,下次开会再也不会“卡壳”!
语境中的语法与表达
视频里的短语实用又灵活,一起来拆解3个关键结构:
- 破冰小聊:用开放式问题打破沉默,如“最近纽约一切都好吗?”“你手头有什么有趣的项目?”,比“你好吗?”更自然。
- 礼貌打断:线上会议无法用肢体语言,直接说“Martina,我可以插句话吗?”既明确又礼貌,比生硬的“等一下”更得体。
- 技术问题表达:“屏幕卡了”用“the screen is frozen”,“我这边网络有问题”说“there seems to be a problem with the connection on my end”,精准又专业。
发音陷阱与提升技巧
这些短语看似简单,发音却容易出错:
- frozen:注意“z”的浊辅音,别发成“s”,否则听起来像“frosen”。
- mute:发音类似“谬特”,不是“木特”,轻读尾音“t”。
- interrupt:重音在第二个音节“ru”,别读成“in-TER-rupt”。
建议用shadow speech法练习:播放视频,暂停后立即跟读,模仿语气和节奏。坚持一周,你会发现自己的口语更流畅、更像母语者。无论是雅思口语练习还是职场沟通,这种方法都能帮你快速提升。如果需要更多素材,不妨试试专门的shadowing site,每天10分钟,进步看得见!
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | be frozen · is frozen · is interrupted |
| 现在进行时 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在发生的事 | you're having · you're finding · you're leading |
| 义务:must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的 | need to know · need to say · have to be |
| “going to” 表将来 be going to + 动词 — 计划或明显即将发生的事 | we're going to look · gonna share · I'm going to check |
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
