打斷討論似乎很不禮貌,但出于許多原因常常是必要的。下面就一起來看看如何才能禮貌地打斷別人。
下面有一些詞匯和短語(yǔ),用來打斷安排好的對(duì)話和會(huì)議。使用這些簡(jiǎn)短的表達(dá)可以快速有效地中斷對(duì)話以傳遞信息。
I'm sorry to interrupt but you're needed (on the phone / in the office / in the classroom / etc.)
很抱歉打擾你,但是有人找你(打電話/在辦公室/在教室/等等)。
Sorry for the interruption. It's Jim / Peter / Mary on the phone.
對(duì)不起,打擾了。吉姆/彼得/瑪麗來電話了。
Pardon me, but I have John on the phone.
對(duì)不起,正在和約翰通話。
Excuse me, could I get a signature / an answer / a cup of coffee quickly?
對(duì)不起,我能盡快拿到簽名/得到答案/喝杯咖啡嗎?
有時(shí),我們需要打斷對(duì)話來問一個(gè)與對(duì)話無關(guān)的問題。這些簡(jiǎn)短的短語(yǔ)可以幫你很快打斷對(duì)話來詢問其他事。
I'm sorry to interrupt, but this will only take a minute.
很抱歉打斷你,但這只需要一分鐘。
Sorry for the interruption, but could you (answer a quick question / help me for a moment / give me an opinion on ...)?
對(duì)不起打擾了,你能(回答一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短的問題/幫我一會(huì)兒/給我一個(gè)關(guān)于……的意見)嗎?
I'm so sorry. This will just take a minute.
我很抱歉。這只需要一分鐘。
I apologize for the interruption, but I have an important question.
抱歉打斷你的對(duì)話,但我有一個(gè)重要的問題。
使用問題是一種禮貌的打斷方式。下面是一些我們問的最常見的問題,以便被允許加入對(duì)話。
Could I jump in?
我能加入嗎?
Could I add something?
我能補(bǔ)充一點(diǎn)嗎?
Can I say something?
我能說些話嗎?
May I interject?
我能插句話嗎?
Would you mind if I joined the conversation?
你介意我加入交談嗎?
I couldn't help overhearing. (Use when listening to a conversation that you are not a part of)
我忍不住偷聽了。(當(dāng)你聽一段談話時(shí),你不是其中的一部分)
Sorry to butt in, but I think / feel ...
抱歉插話,但我認(rèn)為/覺得……
If I may, I think / feel ...
如果可以的話,我認(rèn)為/覺得...
但有時(shí)我們不想被別人打斷,這時(shí)可以這樣說:
Please let me finish.
請(qǐng)讓我說完。
Let me complete my thought.
讓我說完我的觀點(diǎn)。
Would you please let me finish?
請(qǐng)讓我講完好嗎?
Can I continue, please?
請(qǐng)讓我繼續(xù),好嗎?
如果你允許別人打擾你,你可以用這些簡(jiǎn)短的短語(yǔ)來允許別人提問、表達(dá)意見等。
No problem. Go ahead.
沒問題,請(qǐng)講。
Sure, what do you think?
當(dāng)然,你是怎么看的?
That's OK. What do you need / want?
可以的,你需要/想要什么?
一旦你被打斷了,你可以在中斷之后使用這些短語(yǔ)繼續(xù)你的觀點(diǎn)。
As I was saying, I think / feel ...
就像我之前所說的, 我認(rèn)為/感覺...
To get back to what I was saying, I think / feel ...
回到我說的話,我認(rèn)為/覺得……
I'd like to return to my argument.
我想回到我的論點(diǎn)。
Continuing where I left off...
從剛剛中斷的地方繼續(xù)...
