  Ⅲ.课文篇

  Often the big boss wants to know why you have not finished a report or project. This lesson explains a few common excuses you can use to satisfy your boss when you are unsure about an outcome. If the boss asks a question like, "Will you be done by this afternoon?" you should give him/her a clear synonymfor being UNSURE.

  通常大老板想知道你为什么没完成一份报告或一个项目。本课解释了一些常用的借口,在你对事情的结果不能确定时可以用来应付你的老板。 如果你的老板问你一些诸如“你今天下午能完成吗?”之类的问题,你可以给他一个和“不能确定”意思相同的答复。

  Synonyms for UNSURE“不能确定的”的同义词:

  1) 50/50: "Can you be done by tonight?"

  "There is a 50/50 chance."

  50%的机会:“你今晚能完成吗?”

  “有50%的可能。”

  2) It could happen: "Will Bobby get here for the meeting in time?""If he tries hard, it could happen."有可能:“鲍勃能及时赶来参加会议吗?”“如果他尽力而为的话,有可能。”

  3) I am not sure: "Can you do some information trading this Friday evening?""At this time I am not sure."我不能确定:“你能在这个星期五晚上做一些信息交易吗?”“现在很难说。”

  4) Maybe yes, maybe no: "Will you stamp my visa into your lovely country?""Maybe yes, maybe no!"可能会,也可能不会:“您能为我去贵国签证吗?”“可能会,也可能不会。”

  5) "Will our company's stocks increase in value?""Maybe, time will tell."“我们公司的股票会升值吗”“有可能,时间会证明的。”
