1、这个订单，我们的利润非常低

中式英语:Ourprofitisverylowinthisorder.

地道英语:Ourmarginisverythininthisorder.

2、如何用英文表达“辛苦你了”

中文跟英文的思维方式和表达习惯是有很大差异的,我们用中文日常对话,或者书信电邮,经常会用到这类寒暄的句型,对于对方的帮助表示感谢,如“辛苦你了”，“麻烦你了”等.

但是英文中是不能这样直译的,如果翻译成“youmustbetired”客户绝对是一头雾水,觉得很难理解.这就是文化的差异.所以我们要表达这类对于对方辛苦帮忙的感谢,还是简单地说一句:Thankyouforyourkindhelp或者Sorrytotroubleyou,就可以了。

3、“硬性规定”在口语里怎么说?

很多时候跟客户讨论一些问题,比如付款方式之类的,如果客户要求远期付款,而业务员坚持要做信用证,没有别的余地,就需要跟客户申明,这是我们公司的硬性规定.在这种情况下,用Companyrule或者companypolicy,程度就不够了,会让人觉得还可以变通.

在英文中,“硬性规定”有一个专门的短语,是hardandfastrule.

如:抱歉Michael,我们只能接受电汇,而且必须有定金.这是我们的硬性规定.

Sorry,Michael,wecouldonlyacceptT/Twithdeposit.It’sourhardandfastrule.

需要注意的是,这是固定搭配,千万不要用中文思维直接翻译成hardrule,让客户一头雾水。

4、如何用英文准确表达“时间不够”

曾经看到一种错误的表达:Thetimeisnotenough.这是完全直译的中式英语,是错误的.在英文中,可以根据上下文的语境做出合适的翻译,常规的表达有以下几种:

1)Thereisn’tenoughtime.

2)Thetimeislimited.

3)We’rerunningoutoftime.

5、赞同客户的意见,能不能用Iknow?

在英语口语中,“Iknow”这个短语其实不常出现,这经常是中国人使用,而美国人不太容易接受的表达方式.当对方跟你解释某个问题时,你说“Iknow”,对方会觉得你在说“行了,我知道了,别烦了”.这样,他会马上停止说这个话题,因为他觉得你已经不耐烦了.

001Howareyoudoing.

这是一句最最简单和普通的问候,但是老外并不是一字字的说how..are..you..doing.而听起来更像是Howyadoin,没有了are,来一起看看视频.

1.You'reinthepink!要想说人气色好，“Youlookfine!”当然不错，可如果你说“You'reinthepink!”就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，巧妙使用一些表示颜色的词能使得句子非常形象生动。

2.Heisbouncy。“他精力充沛”美国人通常说：“Heisbouncy。”，而不说“Heisenergetic”，牢记一些日常对话中的句式是
