[摘要]如果老板跟你說了一些商務場景下的英語口語，你卻傻傻的不知道什么意思豈不是很囧。身為一個職場達人可不能不知道商務場景下老板們都愛說些什么。就讓我們一起來盤點一下這些亮瞎眼的商務妙語。

 

Going Forward

When you hear management say "going forward", it implies a mistake was made and they want change directions without that happening again in the near future.

當你聽到管理層說"going forward"，它的意思是你犯錯誤了，他們需要調整方向，不希望以后再發(fā)生類似事情。touch base

Touch Base

The catch phrase "touch base" means to establish brief conversation with someone in order to get on the same page. Typically management wants you to touch base several times to determine your progress on a project or goal.

"touch base"這個詞組表示為了了解某事的相關情況以達到共同層面而與某人進行簡單的對話交流。管理層想要了解你的項目或目標進展如何就會跟你聊聊，通過多次探底以期達到共同層面，這是很典型的案例。close the deal

Close the Deal

When you hear someone in the office say "close the deal", they simply want you to get the sale. In other words, do this or risk losing your job would be more appropriate.

當你聽到辦公室有人說"close the deal"時，你要知道他們是要你成單。換句話說，要么拿下這個單子要么冒著丟掉工作的風險，這樣說可能更恰當些。game-changing

Game Changing

If your management tells you they have an idea that is "game-changing", be prepared to forget everything you learned up to this point. Someone in the company obviously wants to go a different route, and everyone will have to make adjustments.

如果管理層告訴你他們有個想法，但這個想法可能是扭轉戰(zhàn)局的，那么做好心理準備，忘掉你所知道相關事情。很明顯，公司里有人想要走另外一條不同的路線，而每個人都將跟著做各項調整。win-win

Win-Win

The catch phrase "win-win" means that all parties can benefit from the situation in one way or the other. This gives both sides the impression that they have won.

"win-win"這個妙詞表示各方在不同層面受益于當下的局面。這使各方都覺得自己是贏家。run the numbers

Run The Numbers

If an employer tell you they have to "run the numbers", get ready to do the work over again. If it was right the first time, you wouldn't have heard anything.

如果你的雇主告訴你他要"run the numbers"(量化分析)，那么你準備好重新干吧。如果最開始的是正確的，那么接下來他不會說什么(你也就不會聽到什么了)。it's on my radar

It's On My Radar

If you ask for help and receive the "it's on my radar" reply, you can be sure you will be asking this question again. On the radar means it isn't that important yet for me to really take any time to work on it for you.

如果你請求幫助并得到"it's on my radar"這樣的回復，你就做好充分準備，他們肯定會再問你一遍這個問題是什么。On the radar意思就是這個事情還沒重要到要我放下手頭工作花費時間馬上為你解決。no brainer

No Brainer

A "no brainer" means that it is going to be painless for the company, and very time consuming for the employee that has to complete the job. A no brainer means you are the perfect candidate for coming in this weekend to get the project back on track.

所謂a "no brainer"指對于公司來說毫無痛苦壓力，但是對于雇員個人來說卻是一個非常耗費時間才能完成的任務。A no brainer就表示你是本周末能使項目運轉步入正軌的最佳人選(毫無疑問)。think outside the box

Think Outside The Box

When you hear "think outside the box", it means they hate your current ideas.當你聽到"think outside the box"

這句話時，那意味著他們討厭你現(xiàn)在的想法。on my plate

On My Plate

The phrase "on my plate" means the same as on my radar. Not too important to do right now, hopefully someone else will tackle the work before you ask again.

"on my plate"這個詞組與on my radar是一個意思。問題并沒重要到馬上要做，希望某個人將來會在你再問一次之前幫你解決。back to the drawing board

Back To The Drawing Board

The "back to the drawing board" catch phrase means the initial attempt failed. You are going to do it all over until it's done right and the desired results are achieved.

"back to the drawing board"表示原來的嘗試失敗了。你需要重整旗鼓重新再來，直到你作對了，做完美了。more bang for your buck

More Bang For Your Buck

Getting "more bang for your buck" means that your employer is going to get you to work as hard as possible on that project until they feel the net profit far exceeds the money they paid you to do it.

Getting "more bang for your buck"就是指你的雇主(老板)會不停的壓榨你讓你努力工作做項目，直到他們認為所得凈利潤已經(jīng)遠超他們付你的薪水。
