輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第126期:集思廣益
核心句型:
We have to stop arguing and brainstorm.
我們別再爭論了,一起集思廣益吧。
brainstorm是由美國創造學家A·F·奧斯本於1939年提出的,用以指一羣人圍繞一個特定的興趣或領域,進行創新或改善,產生新點子,提出新辦法,也就是:“集思廣益”。因此,當美國人説"We have to stop arguing and brainstorm."時,他/她要表達的意思就是:"We should stop debating and let's think together."、"We shouldn't argue with each other and it's time for us to discuss together."。
情景對白:
Benjamin: Hey, guys, we're all for the benefit of our company. So why do we keep arguing on this issue?
本傑明:嘿,夥計們,我們都是為了公司的利益。那麼為什麼要在這個問題上爭論不休呢?
Boss: Yes. Benjamin is right. We have to stop arguing and brainstorm.
老闆:是的,本傑明説得很對。我們別再爭論了,一起集思廣益吧。
