1
So, Beata, tell us about your meeting with Mateo.
2
Then you can go and enjoy some sunshine.
3
You've earned it.
4
Well, he talked a lot about the colour of the product.
5
His team carried out some market research last month, interviewed patients, healthcare professionals, pharmacists...
6
Wait, wait, wait, did you say pharmacists?
7
Yes, they did some focus groups, sent out a really detailed questionnaire.
8
And that's what he asked them about?
9
The colour?
10
Seriously, what's wrong with the colour?
11
Why did they spend so much time on this?
12
Sorry, I didn't really have a chance to ask.
13
You didn't?
14
Mateo can be a little domineering, Clarice.
15
Have you ever met him?
16
No, no I haven't.
17
Sorry.
18
Please go on, Beata.
19
Well, according to their focus group results, I have them here if you want to see them.
20
People prefer the darker shaders.
21
Beata, what does Matteo want us to change exactly?
22
The colour of the dye-up sensor.
23
But I told Matteo I'd get back to him.
24
I hope that was okay.
25
Of course, you did the right thing.
26
Clarice, what do you think?
27
Can we change the colour?
28
I'm sorry, no. It's really not possible at this stage of the production schedule.
29
Right, I thought so.
30
Anyway, Beata, tell us about the rest of the discussion.
31
There's possibly some problem with storage, but we can come to that later.
32
And, erm, yes, the packaging.
33
There's a problem with the design.
34
What do you mean?
35
A problem with the design of the packaging?
36
Matteo doesn't think it's very practical.
37
So, what does he want exactly?
38
Does he want us to change the design?
39
Well, yes.
40
Are you sure?
41
Sure?
42
Um, yeah, I guess so.
43
Next he'll be asking for a whole new product altogether.
44
Clarice, is it possible to change the packaging design?
45
Maybe.
46
I'll have to check with our product manager.
47
But at this stage, it's a long shot.
48
It's a very long shot, I know.
49
How long will it take for you to confirm this?
50
I'm not sure.
51
We're closed tomorrow for a public holiday.
52
Can you get back to us by Monday?
53
Monday?
54
Yes, no problem.
55
Beata, do you have any other news for us?
56
Um, no, not really.
57
That went well.
58
I wasn't totally sure Daniel wanted to know all the little details.
59
But I'd rather he knew everything.
60
Anyway, sightseeing time.

为何这个视频是绝佳的口语练习素材?

这段商务对话贴近真实工作场景,包含大量实用表达,如“carry out market research”“focus groups”“long shot”等,既能学习职场词汇,又能模仿自然的口语节奏。对话中人物的插话、犹豫和追问(如“Wait, wait, wait, did you say pharmacists?”)真实还原了日常交流状态,非常适合“英语影子跟读”练习,帮助学习者提升听力理解与口语反应速度。

拆解地道表达,学习自然口语

  • “Mateo can be a little domineering”:用“can be”表达某人的一贯特征,比直接说“is”更委婉,符合商务沟通的礼貌原则。
  • “It's a very long shot”:此处表示“成功几率低”,是口语中常用的习语,比“unlikely”更生动。
  • “I'll have to check with our product manager”:“check with”是职场中回应请求的经典表达,体现谨慎态度,避免直接拒绝。

影子跟读练习步骤,轻松提升口语

使用“shadow speak”方法,按照以下步骤练习:首先播放视频,逐句暂停并重复,注意模仿语调、重音和停顿(如“ Well, he talked a lot about the colour of the product.”中“well”的轻读)。然后尝试同步跟读,即视频播放的同时开口,训练耳朵与嘴巴的协调能力。最后录音对比,检查是否跟上节奏,重点纠正“pharmacists”“packaging”等难发音单词。坚持每天10分钟,利用“shadowing site”资源巩固,口语流畅度将显著提升。

通过“shadowspeaks”技巧练习这段对话,不仅能掌握商务英语表达,还能培养地道的口语习惯,让你在工作交流中更自信。

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。
