澳大利亚超实用英语-关于表达意见之前的铺垫
1. I think that… 最简单的
2. It seems to me that… 可以用作表达意见,或者summarize或者confirm对方说的话。
3. I would argue that…这里面用would来弱化语气。
4. Just to go along with what you said… 真的很好用,承上启下。这句话还好在,它使你现在插话 看上去legitimate,因为你是为了和前面的那个人go along啊。不赶紧接话,不就along不上了嘛。
5. Going back to what … said… 同上。不过一般是你已经说了几句,此时,想要relate to someting 别人刚刚提到过或者蜻蜓点水说道的东西。这句话的好处就是,一能bring others on board 说看我的说法和你是有一致之处的,二能表现他刚才说的东西你还有印象。
同意或者反对
1. I agree with you. 最简单的
2. Building on what XX has just said....
3. I am with you..., but [main point]. * 这里I am with you不一定表示同意也不一定表示反对, 它主要的意思是说“你说的我听懂了/我跟上你说的了。”
4. I follow your logic, but have you thought about/considered this… [main point]…? *和上 面一句话的逻辑是一样的:“你说的我明白了,但是...”
6. With all due respect, I think…

5. I am not sure about this..., you might want to check with Professor X... Would you mind letting me know what he/she says?

会议报告、演讲之后提问
1. That's an amazing model/useful concept, but it occurred to me that [this/something] might also play a role....Have you considered ...?
2. Thanks for your talk. I completely agree with your conclusion, but as I'm sure you're aware, Dr. XX explains this in a different way, and I was wondering if you could address her theory. * “but as I'm sure you're aware”完全是给对方一个台阶下,可能那个理论他根本没 有考虑过。但是如果对方是很senior的,我们也需要客套一下。
