This is the third and final part of our Business English Pod series on getting your ideas across in meetings. 这是有关开会时畅所欲言的英语播客的最后一个部分。

Meetings are a great opportunity to get your ideas across and influence other people. But doing that is no easy task. You need the right combination of tact, frankness, confidence, and humility. And you need some effective language techniques to manage that combination. 开会是一个表达自己观点和影响到别人的绝好机会。但是做起来可不容易。你需要机智,坦白,自信和谦虚,并且你需要用一些语言技巧去结合这些要素。

In today's lesson, we're going to look at several advanced techniques for expressing your ideas and commenting on other people's opinions. These include leading into opinions, highlighting consequences, and redirecting a discussion. A lot of these techniques revolve around agreeing and disagreeing. We've looked at many of these in the first two parts, and today we'll continue by learning about strongly agreeing and disagreeing with negative questions. 在今天这一课中,我们将看到几个高级的技巧去表达你的观点和对别人的观点进行评论。这些技巧中有许多是和同意和反对有关的。我们将能在前两个部分听到,今天我们将继续学习对于消极的问题做出的强烈的同意很反对的表达。
