正確用法:
- "If I may, I'd like to ask why this plan was chosen." ✓
(如果可以的話，我想請問為什麼選擇了這個計劃。) - "I'm not sure I fully understand the rationale. Could you explain a bit more?" ✓
(我不確定我完全理解其中的原因。您能多解釋一點嗎？)
練習範例:
- 你想了解更多關於一個新專案：
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask for more information about the timeline for this new project."
(不好意思，我想請問關於這個新專案的時程表的更多資訊。) - 你不理解剛才介紹的技術概念：
"Sorry to interrupt, but could you please clarify how the new system integrates with our existing infrastructure?"
(抱歉打斷，但您能夠解釋一下新系統如何與我們現有的基礎設施整合嗎？) - 你想問關於會議後的後續步驟：
"I have a quick question about the next steps after this meeting. Who will be responsible for coordinating these actions?"
(我有個關於會議後續步驟的小問題，誰將負責協調這些行動？)
