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.

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
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	Have you ever felt · have had · have been
“will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测	will not only ensure · will also give · will end
现在进行时 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在发生的事	we're looking · are trying · am not talking
义务：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的	need to delegate · need to be · need to play

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 3 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 don't, haven't, we're。请按听到的简短形式来说。

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

中文母语者容易读错的音：

/v/ — 不要读成 /w/，上齿轻触下唇: figurative /ˈfɪɡəɹətɪv/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/, relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/
词尾辅音 — 要读清楚，后面不要加元音: delegate /ˈdɛlɪɡət/, figurative /ˈfɪɡəɹətɪv/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/, paramount /ˈpæɹəˌmaʊnt/, relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/
/r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/, literal /ˈlɪt(ə)ɹəl/

如何用这段视频练习

先完整听一遍视频，不要开口，记下不认识的单词。
先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读，熟练之后再回到正常速度。
录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 idiom, delegate, logo 这类单词。

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。
