基本概念解析
在英文中,表達簡報相關需求時,我們會用到以下關鍵詞:
- presentation(簡報)
- project(專案)
- review/go over/run through(過一遍、檢視)
- finish/complete(完成)
- deadline(截止日期)
常見說法對照
情境一:直接表達需求(Business formal)
"We need to present this project on Tuesday. When do you expect to have the presentation ready? We should review it together before Tuesday." (我們需要在星期二進行這個專案的報告。你預計何時能完成簡報?我們應該在星期二之前一起檢閱簡報。)
情境二:較口語的表達(Semi-formal)
"We've got a presentation for this project on Tuesday. When can you finish the slides? Let's run through them before the meeting." (我們星期二要為這個專案做簡報。你什麼時候能完成投影片?讓我們在會議前一起過一遍。)
情境三:更口語的表達(Casual)
"So we're presenting this project on Tuesday. When will the slides be done? We need to go over everything before the actual presentation." (所以,我們星期二要報告這個專案。投影片什麼時候可以完成?我們需要在正式報告前把所有內容都檢查一遍。)
常見錯誤
❌ 錯誤用法:
- "When can you complete the present?" (名詞、動詞混淆) 「你什麼時候可以完成這個禮物/現在?」(錯誤地將presentation簡化為present)
- "We have to do presentation on Tuesday." (缺少冠詞) 「我們星期二必須做報告。」(缺少a/the冠詞)
- "Let's check the slides through before." (錯誤的詞序) 「讓我們在之前檢查投影片通過。」(詞序不正確)
✅ 正確用法:
- "When can you complete the presentation?" 「你什麼時候可以完成簡報?」
- "We have to give a presentation on Tuesday." 「我們星期二必須做一項報告。」
- "Let's go through the slides before." 「讓我們事先過一遍投影片。」
補充用語
還可以用這些替代表達:
- "We should walk through the presentation together." 「我們應該一起仔細檢閱這個簡報。」
- "Can we have a dry run before the actual meeting?" 「我們可以在正式會議前進行一次預演嗎?」
- "I'd like to see a draft before Tuesday." 「我希望在星期二之前看到一版草稿。」
- "When's the earliest you can have this ready?" 「你最早什麼時候可以準備好這個?」
