23
All right.
24
Let's start with our lesson for today.
25
Today, we're going to talk about business idioms.
26
Business idioms are so important when it comes to business idioms you cannot escape them because you're going to find them everywhere.
27
You're going to find them in the business articles, in the business news, in the workplace meetings, everywhere.
28
And I know that you do not have to use idioms.
29
That's not a must.
30
That's not part of learning the English language.
31
Understanding idioms will help you understand native speakers who use idioms naturally when they speak. And therefore,
32
today we're going to talk about the most important 10 business idioms
33
that I'm pretty sure you're going to come across in the workplace.
34
So let's get the ball rolling.
35
And to get the ball rolling is an idiom, which means to start doing something.
36
You might probably heard your boss saying in the meeting, OK, now let's get the ball rolling, which means let's start our meeting
37
or let's start working on this project let's get the ball
38
rolling number two to touch base touch base is used commonly in the workplace especially in emails
39
you would find people say touch base
40
when they want to share updates about something
41
so they say let's touch base next week
42
which means let's talk about the updates for next week let's
43
get some updates let's share our updates for next week three in the loop
44
when you want to keep someone in the loop is you want to keep someone informed about what's going on
45
so you would say i will send an email to everyone to keep them in the loop
46
i don't want anybody to be out of the loop out of the loop
47
which means you don't know what's going on for example i didn't go to work for three days
48
and i feel now i'm out of the loop
49
i don't know what's going on next on the same page on the same page
50
i think we have the same saying in arabic we say on the same page
51
which means on the same level of understanding of the situation where you agree
52
and understand what's going on in the same way with your team for example
53
i think we are all on the same page about our next plan.
54
This is a very important one that you can use not only in the work environment, but also in the everyday language.
55
Down the drain.
56
And usually we use the verb go.
57
Go down the drain or went down the drain.
58
We all know what a drain is, where the water goes.
59
So that's a drain.
60
So when you say it went down the drain, it means It is wasted or you lost it.
61
For example, if we don't work hard on the next project,
62
we might lose the deal and thousands of dollars could go down the drain.
63
Another example from the everyday language is when you say, I studied really hard for the exam, but the teacher decided to postpone it.
64
All my hard work went down the drain.
65
next an important one up in the air up in the air means undecided uncertain unplanned yet for example
66
you say um our next deal is still up in the air so we can't announce it win -win
67
win -win means a situation that benefits all people involved for example you say
68
if they accept the offer is going to be a win -win for both companies,
69
which means both companies are going to get the benefit.
70
It's going to be a win -win for both of them.
71
Next, ballpark.
72
Ballpark means an estimate, a rough estimate, not an exact number.
73
For example, you would say, could you please give me a ballpark figure for the coast of the event
74
i can't give you an exact number i can give you a ballpark
75
which means i can give you an estimate up to speed up to speed
76
and usually we use the um preposition on with it up to speed means
77
you want to get fully informed about a situation.
78
So you would say I need to get up to speed on the latest plan for the project.
79
And the last one for today is a game.
80
A game which means our best effort or performance.
81
So you would say let's get our A game to win the deal.
82
And that was everything for today.
83
Business idioms again are so important.
84
You don't have to use them in your speech, but you need to understand as many as you can.
85
So if you want to learn more about idioms, don't forget to buy my book that includes a whole chapter about idioms.
86
There are more than 40 idioms in my book with examples and questions and quizzes at the end of the chat.
87
If you have any questions, let me know and see you in the next video.
FOR YOU

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。
