职场英语--二十四 开展对话

1.

be interested in 

对......感兴趣

后面可以接名词或动名词

I am interested in getting a tattoo(刺青).

Mark was once very interested in toy collections.

在职场表现上，这个句型很适合用于询问是否进一步获得或提供资讯时使用。

Are you interested in getting hold of our latest catalog(目录)?

2.

It sounds like (that)/N...?

听起来......

在对话中想要针对对方的谈话有所回应时，可以利用这个句型来说明自己对该谈话内容的感想。

句型后面可以接that引导的从句或是名词。

It sounds like (that) you're getting a promotion.

It sounds like a great offer to me.

3.

Speaking of...,...

说到......,......

当说话一方提到了你所感兴趣或是让你联想到其他事物的话题时，便可以使用这个句型来转换原本正在讨论的话题。

使用时要小心，要在某个话题告一段落后再提出为佳。若是随意地变换谈话主题，可能会让人觉得不受尊重。

Speaking of your daughter,how old is she now?

Speaking of the delivery date,we're actually quite concerned about it.

说到送货时间，事实上我们挺担心的。

4.

By the way,...

顺便一提，......

和前一句类似，"By the way,..."也可以在转换话题时利用。但不一定要在对方提及相关话题时才能使用。

By the way,have you seen my wallet?

顺便一提，你看见我的皮夹吗？

You're absolutely right about it.By the way,can I have your new cell phone number?

5.

Since you mentioned...,I'd like to ...

既然你提到了.......,我想......

这个句型和"Speaking of..."很类似，但在某些情况下较适用于正式的场合。句子前半部重复对方所说的内容，后半部则提出根据

该内容而有的想法。

Since you mentioned developing a new productioon line,I'd like to hear more about it.

Since you mentioned the color of the sample,I'd like to bring up some related issues about it.

既然你提到了样品的颜色，我想提出一些相关的议题。
