用英语学英语口语:to close a/the deal 成交

招揽英语短语(用英语学英语口语)(1)

当无论何时何地,中文成为你理解英语的唯一语言并成为一种怎么改也改不掉的习惯性“牛皮癣”时(俗称“英译汉式阅读”),那么,你在学习和掌握英语的道路上“损失”是“惨重”的,“遗漏的英语语言营养”也是巨大的。

当close a deal/the deal需要语言去理解,而你能做这个理解用的唯一语言和方式只是中文以及中文词“成交”时,你从中得到的,就仅仅是一个中文词“成交”了,其它的英语“营养成分”(如英语同义词表达)都被你的中文给通通“过滤”掉了,于是,一段可能别人只走一年就走完的英语学习之路,你却可能要走十年才走完。

除非你是在接受英语高级课程-英译汉专业训练,否则,你明白你的损失,你的代价有多大吗?

所以,你必须强迫自己通过训练“华丽转身”得到彻底改变:既然是在学英语,那么就让英语在中文之外成为你理解英语的第一理解语言,甚至是唯一理解语言吧,也就是只需在英语“原语”内借助英语同义词表达的替换和使用就能搞定“理解问题”,既“理解”,又“使用”(英语不就是“学来用”的嘛?),把因为使用中文作为“理解语言”所造成的英语“营养成分损失”补回来。

1) URead 体验英语:

What is close a/the deal?

To reach an agreement with a buyer;to finalize a sale by persuading the interested party to complete the purchase;To reach an agreement with another party, thus concluding negotiations;to formally conclude bargaining;To bring negotiating to an end by reaching an agreement.

2) UTalk 自己跟自己说英语:

What is close a/the deal?

读完这一大段英语To reach an agreement with a buyer;to finalize a sale by persuading the interested party to complete the purchase;To reach an agreement with another party, thus concluding negotiations;to formally conclude bargaining;To bring negotiating to an end by reaching an agreement后,我们“使用英语”:

OK.We have many many other ways to expreess 'to close a deal'.

When I want to mean 'to close a deal',or if I happen to forget to close a deal, then I can say to reach an agreement with a buyer;I can say to finalize a sale by persuading the interested party to complete the purchase;I can say To reach an agreement with another party, thus concluding negotiations;I can say to formally conclude bargaining;I can even say To bring negotiating to an end by reaching an agreement. Well they all mean the same thing.

你说的这一大通,是不是“在说英语口语?”是不是“在练英语口语?”

不过,我们长期接受的“英语学习”是,似乎在“学”了close a deal后,再“配”上几句“例句”如下,并死记硬背这些例句,外带“理解用”的中文翻译,那才叫真正的“口语学习”:

例句:

We need to move in a month, so how quickly can you close a deal and get our house sold?

我们一个月内要搬家,所以你帮我们卖房多久能出手“成交”?

我们言归正传:

这样的训练就给你带来了一种语言能力,以后要表达close a deal,你不一定依据“用中文理解记住”的“唯一表达”英语close a deal来表达,或者你忘记了close a deak,那么,你说To reach an agreement with a buyer也行啊,你说to finalize a sale也行啊,你说 conclude sales negotiationas也行啊,你甚至说bring negotiating to an end by reaching an agreement也照样行啊!

因为把英语作为你理解英语的语言,你的英语表达能力丰富了,而且你也不是时时在考场里做四六级汉译英应试考试,不说close a deal会觉得被人认为你的英语不够厉害,也会被改卷老师“扣分”,你是在真正与人英语沟通,能沟通到位就是“牛人英语”了,close a deal难道是唯一标准吗?“成交”难道只能,也只会死记硬背和会说close a deal吗?

用英语学习英语,眼界决定视界。
