🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue
場景:剛開完一場黑話連發的會,職場新人 Nina 一頭霧水,同事 Mark 幫她一句句翻譯。
Nina: That meeting was exhausting. What does "let's circle back" even mean?
(那場會議累死了。「let's circle back」到底是什麼意思啊?)
Mark: Ha, it just means "we'll talk about it later" — usually when no one has an answer.
(哈,就是「我們之後再談」——通常是當下沒人有答案的時候。)
Nina: And "take this offline"? We were already offline, in a room.
(那「take this offline」呢?我們本來就在會議室、又沒上線。)
Mark: It means "let's discuss it privately," not in front of everyone.
(意思是「我們私下談」,別在大家面前講。)
Nina: So much jargon. Sarah said we need to "move the needle" this quarter.
(好多術語。Sarah 說我們這一季要「move the needle」。)
Mark: That's just "make a real difference." A fancy way of saying do something that matters.
(那就是「做出實質改變」。花俏一點的說法,其實就是做點真的有用的事。)
Nina: And she wants to "touch base" on Friday. Are we playing baseball?
(她還說禮拜五要「touch base」。我們是要打棒球呢?)
Mark: Ha, no — it means a quick check-in, a short chat to see where things stand.
(哈,不是——就是快速同步一下、簡短聊聊進度到哪。)
Nina: Honestly, why not just say that? "I don't have the bandwidth for this."
(說真的,幹嘛不直接講就好?「I don't have the bandwidth for this」。)
Mark: See, now you're fluent! Bandwidth just means your time and energy.
(你看,你已經很溜了!bandwidth 就是你的時間和心力。)
Nina: Okay, last one. She'll "loop me in" on the email. Loop me into what?
(好,最後一個。她說會「loop me in」那封 email。是要把我 loop 進什麼?)
Mark: It means she'll add you to the thread. Welcome to corporate English.
(意思是她會把你加進那串信。歡迎來到企業英文的世界。)
