Ana: Hi! I’m Ana. Welcome to What to Say!
安娜：嗨！我是安娜。欢迎来到说什么！Do you know what to say when you give advice? Listen out for useful language for giving advice. Then, we’ll practise saying the new phrases – after this.
当你提供建议时你知道该说什么吗？倾听有用的语言来提供建议。然后，我们将练习说新短语——在此之后。Noelia: Argh, this is just ridiculous!
诺莉亚：啊，这太荒谬了！Paul: Susan again?
保罗：又是苏珊吗？Noelia: Yeah, Susan. She just keeps emailing me about things that have nothing to do with work and nothing to do with me. What do you think I should do?
诺莉亚：是的，苏珊。她只是不断地给我发电子邮件，谈论一些与工作无关、与我无关的事情。你觉得我应该怎么做？Paul: Well, if I were you, I’d email and ask her to stop sending them.
保罗：好吧，如果我是你，我会发电子邮件让她停止发送。Noelia: I’m not sure that’s a good idea. I have to be careful what I say as she’s quite an important client.
诺莉亚：我不确定这是个好主意。我必须小心我所说的话，因为她是一位非常重要的客户。Paul: Erm, I’m not sure then. Perhaps you could try talking to Yuna about it?
保罗：嗯，那我不确定。也许你可以尝试和尤娜谈谈这件事？Bob: Er .. why don’t you try doing nothing?
鲍勃：呃..你为什么不尝试什么都不做呢？Noelia: Sorry?
诺莉亚：抱歉？Bob: Perhaps you could just … do nothing?
鲍勃：也许你可以……什么也不做？Noelia: Really? I’m not too sure about that.
诺莉亚：真的吗？我对此不太确定。Bob: Well, I remember this guy I used to work with, Mark, and he kept emailing again and again and again, about all sorts, mostly unrelated to work. Well, I kept responding politely and he kept sending them. In the end, I stopped replying to his emails unless they were only about work.
鲍勃：嗯，我记得曾经和我一起工作的那个人，马克，他不断地一次又一次地发电子邮件，内容涉及各种各样的事情，大部分与工作无关。好吧，我一直有礼貌地回复，他也一直发送。最后，我不再回复他的电子邮件，除非它们只是与工作有关。Paul: And what happened?
保罗：发生了什么事？Bob: He stopped sending them. It’s a bit like being faced with a dangerous snake. If you move quickly, it’ll bite you, but if you keep very still and do nothing, eventually it’ll move away and leave you alone. I had to learn the hard way.
鲍勃：他不再发送它们了。这有点像面对一条危险的蛇。如果你移动得很快，它就会咬你，但如果你保持静止不动，什么也不做，它最终会走开，留下你一个人。我必须以艰难的方式学习。Noelia: Hey, Bob. Have you got a minute?
诺莉亚：嘿，鲍勃。你有时间吗？Bob: Yeah.
鲍勃：是的。Noelia: So, I tried what you suggested and I only responded to Susan’s emails about work for a few days. Then guess what?
诺埃莉亚：所以，我尝试了你的建议，但我只回复了苏珊关于工作的电子邮件几天。那你猜怎么着？Bob: The irrelevant emails stopped.
鲍勃：不相关的电子邮件停止了。Noelia: Yes! Now she only sends me work-related ones.
诺埃利亚：是的！现在她只给我发与工作相关的邮件。Bob: Well, that’s very good news.
鲍勃：嗯，这是个好消息。Noelia: All thanks to you, Bob.
诺莉亚：这一切都谢谢你，鲍勃。Bob: Any time, Noelia, any time! All in a day’s work. Ahh!
鲍勃：任何时候，诺莉亚，任何时候！一切都在一天的工作中。啊！Ana: Hello again! It looks like Bob is in Noelia’s good books. So, did you notice the useful phrases used for giving advice? Listen to me and then repeat.
