Hi tim here with another 9-5 English lesson in today's lesson, we're going to learn how to express support for an idea in english in business.

嗨，蒂姆，這裡有另一節9-5英語課，在今天的課程中，我們將學習如何用英語表達對一個想法的支持，在商業中。

It's very important to be able to express your ideas confidently.

能夠自信地表達自己的想法是非常重要的。

That doesn't just mean coming up with new ideas, it can also mean expressing what you think about other people's ideas.

這不僅僅意味著提出新的想法，也可能意味著表達你對其他人的想法的看法。

In our last lesson we learned how to express doubt.

在上一課中，我們學習瞭如何表達懷疑。

Today, we're going to look at the other side and talk about how to express support for an idea.

今天，我們來看看另一方，談談如何表達對一個想法的支持。

Now, sometimes you want to show moderate support or just a bit of support in this situation, you can use expressions like I guess or I suppose before stating your support and when you state your support, you might use expressions like I can see your point or that's a good way to look at it.

現在，有時你想在這種情況下表示適度的支持或只是一點支持，你可以在陳述你的支持之前使用像我猜或我想這樣的表達方式，當你陳述你的支持時，你可能會使用像我可以看到你的觀點或這是一個好方法的表達方式。

Let's try a bit of practice with these ways of expressing moderate support for an idea, listen to each example, then repeat it yourself.

讓我們試著練習一下這些表達對某一觀點的適度支持的方式，聽一聽每個例子，然後自己重複一下。

Ready?

準備好了嗎？

Let's get started.

讓我們開始吧。

I could go along with that.

我可以順勢而為。

Yeah, I guess I can see your point.

是的，我想我可以看到你的觀點。

That's worth considering.

這值得考慮。

I suppose that's a good way to look at it.

我想這是一個很好的方式來看待它。

Did you hear that expression, I could go along with that if you go along with something, you agree or support a plan or way of doing something and notice that saying I can or I could are mild expressions.

你是否聽到過這樣的表達，我可以配合，如果你配合某事，你同意或支持一個計劃或做事的方式，注意說我可以或我可以是溫和的表達。

It's very different from saying, I will go along with that sometimes, however, you don't want to show moderate support instead, you want to show strong support.

這與說，我有時會配合，然而，你不想表現出適度的支持，相反，你想表現出強烈的支持，這是非常不同的。

Well you might add definitely after I can or I could to turn that expression into one showing strong support.

好吧，你可以在 "我可以 "或 "我可以 "之後加上 "肯定"，以把這種表達方式變成一種顯示強有力的支持。

You might also use words or phrases to emphasize like I'm behind you 100%.

你也可以用詞或短語來強調，比如我100%支持你。

In that case behind you means I support you or you might say that's a really great idea, you can see how different that sounds then I guess that's a good idea, which doesn't sound strong at all.

在這種情況下，在你身後意味著我支持你，或者你可能會說這真是個好主意，你可以看到這聽起來有多不同，那麼我想這是個好主意，這聽起來一點都不強烈。

Let's try some examples of showing strong support.

讓我們嘗試一些顯示強烈支持的例子。

Remember to repeat the examples after you hear them.

記住在你聽到這些例子後要重複它們。

I'm behind you 100%.

我100%支持你。

I can definitely back you up on that.

在這一點上，我絕對可以支持你。

I must say that's a really great idea, no doubt about it.

我必須說這是一個非常好的主意，毫無疑問。

So in our last lesson we looked at expressing doubt, but if you say no doubt about it, you're actually saying you strongly support something.

是以，在我們的上一課中，我們看了表達懷疑，但如果你說不懷疑，你實際上是說你強烈支持某件事。

One other expression you heard for emphasis is I must say you can introduce any opinion with that expression just to emphasize how strongly you feel.

你聽到的另一個表達方式是強調，我必須說你可以用這個表達方式介紹任何意見，只是為了強調你的感受有多強烈。

All right, we've practiced different ways of expressing support, but how does this sound?

好了，我們已經練習了表達支持的不同方式，但這聽起來如何？

In a conversation?

在談話中？

Let's listen to a short dialogue between Gillian and Dave.

讓我們聽聽吉利安和戴夫之間的簡短對話。

Jillian is expressing her opinion about who should join a work team.

吉利安正在表達她對誰應該加入一個工作團隊的看法。

Dave is expressing support for her ideas.

戴夫正在對她的想法表示支持。

I think we should bring jane onto the team.

我認為我們應該把簡帶入團隊。

I could go along with that and maybe Gregory too.

我可以順水推舟，也許格雷戈裡也是如此。

He's really smart, no doubt about it now, it's your turn to practice, We'll repeat the dialogue but this time we're going to beep out the second speaker's words.

他真的很聰明，這一點毋庸置疑，現在輪到你們練習了，我們將重複對話，但這次我們要把第二個說話人的話嗶嗶出來。

You will have to say those parts yourself.

你將不得不自己說這些部分。

Remember to start by saying you could go along with that then show strong support for the next idea by saying no doubt about it.

記得先說你可以配合，然後通過說毫無疑問的方式對下一個想法表示強烈支持。

I think we should bring jane onto the team and maybe Gregory too.

我認為我們應該把珍妮帶進隊伍，也許還有格雷戈裡。

He's really smart.

他真的很聰明。

Okay that's all for this lesson.

好了，這節課就講到這裡。

We've learned how to express mild or moderate support for an idea and how to say you strongly support something.

我們已經學會了如何表達對一個想法的溫和或適度支持，以及如何說你強烈支持某件事。
