重点讲解
1.So, this is the Research and Development Department.
研发部门，一般简写为R&B，很多大公司都设有这个部门，可以说是一个公司的核心部门。
2.He has a team of six people.
也可以说：He has six people in this dipartment.但是，其实每个部门都是一个团队，讲究团结协作精神，所以，用team更能体现出这种精神。
3.Oh, you're busy. Sorry.
在别人正在忙的时候打扰了别人肯定很过意不去，一定要道歉的。不过，一般情况下，如果要打断别人，最好先说Excuse me.否则，可能由于你一句话就把别人的灵感赶走啦！
4.There. Finished. Good. Do you like it?
询问别人的看法和意见的。还可以说what do you think of it?
5.Welcome to Bibury Systems.
欢迎加入……我们应该注意到了，之前介绍过的每一个人都说了这句话对新人表示欢迎，这是最基本的理解。接待客人时也可以说：Welcome to ……
6.I don't like this design./I agree. It's not good.
表示不同意，不赞同。/以及对某人的意见表示看法一致。
7.That is very good.Good idea!
对别人的主意表示赞赏That's a neat idea./You said it./You can say that again.
知识拓展
在商务谈判中有很多情况下要对别人的观点表示同意或反对，以下是一些常用表达方式：
赞同看法
1. A valid point.
2. I agree completely.
3. I agree one hundred percent.
4. I agree wholeheartedly.
"valid"是‘确实的；有价值的'；"point"为‘重点；观点'。这用语是说对方提出的这一点很有参考价值，值得重视。等于"It's a valid point."，将"It's"省略后，语气更形简洁有力。这句话表示自己完全同意对方的看法，并百分之百地支持；常能发挥鼓励他人发言的作用，可用于正式或非正式的场合。
表达反对
1. I'm sorry, but I have to disagree.
2. I'm sorry, but I can't agree with that.
3. I'm sorry, but I can't support that position / idea.
4. I'm sorry, but I can't go along with that.
"disagree"的意思是‘不同意；反对'。这句话可用于半正式与正式场合中。请注意这句话所不同意的是‘意见'而非‘个人'，纯粹对事不对人，所以可以很技巧地避免让对方下不了台。用"I'm sorry"开头，尤显客气有礼。
More 同意与反对
在会议桌上，面对不同考量的方案与意见时，我们常需表达正面或反面的看法。以下提出两种不同程度表达同意及反对的说法，请比较参考：
同意的说法：强烈表达
I'm in complete agreement.
I quite agree.
I couldn't agree more.
Exactly!
Precisely.
同意的说法：和缓表达
I agree.
You're right there.
I think you're right.
That's true.
That's right.
I disagree completely.
That's out of the question.
On the contrary.
Of course not!
That's ridiculous.
反对的说法：和缓表达
I don't agree.
That's not how I see it.
I wouldn't say that.
I don't think it will work.
I disagree.
