1
David, could I talk to you for a moment?
2
Sure, Emily. Come in and take a seat.
3
I'm afraid I've made a mistake with an order.
4
Okay. Tell me exactly what happened.
5
I sent the wrong price to a customer yesterday.
6
It was ten percent lower than it should be.
7
I see. Has the customer replied yet?
8
Yes, they've already accepted the offer.
9
Hmm. How did it happen?
10
I used last year's price list by accident.
11
I should have checked the date on the file.
12
Well, I'm glad you told me right away.
13
How much money are we going to lose?
14
About four hundred dollars on this order.
15
That's not great, but it's not a disaster.
16
What do you think we should do?
17
I could call the customer and explain the mistake.
18
If I apologize, they might accept the correct price.
19
Maybe, but I'd rather keep them happy.
20
Let's keep the lower price this one time.
21
Thank you. I'm really sorry about this.
22
It happens. So how can we stop it happening again?
23
I'll delete the old price lists today.
24
And I'll ask someone to check every offer.
25
Good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
26
I'll be much more careful from now on.
27
I know you will. Thanks for being honest.
28
Thanks for understanding, David.

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。
