Delivery, patterns & self-check

随时回来对照,纠正发音、语速、节奏和结构。

Delivery 发音 · 语速 · 节奏

要“听起来专业”,重点是这些交付习惯。

  1. 结尾辅音发清楚 (risk, point, cost, asked)
    中文母语者常吞掉结尾的 /t/ /k/ /d/,听起来模糊。慢一点,把结尾发清楚。
  2. /θ/ 和 /ð/ (think, the, that, with)
    舌尖轻触上齿,别读成 /s/ 或 /z/。
  3. /v/ vs /w/ (value vs we, vendor, governance)
    上齿咬下唇发 /v/。
  4. 词尾 /l/ (practical, useful, model, control)
    把 -l 拖一下,别省略。
  5. 复数和 -ed (risks, tools; asked, helped)
    这些小尾音决定流利感。
  6. 句子重音
    每句只重读 1–2 个关键词。例:The key point is accountability.
  7. 意群停顿 chunking
    用斜线练:The main risk / isn't the tool / — it's how it's used / inside the business. 停顿让你显得稳、有控制力。
  8. 句尾语调
    陈述句降调(笃定);真问句升调。别把陈述句说成升调。
  9. 语速放慢 20%
    商务英语里,慢而清楚 > 快而模糊。
  10. 填充词
    想词时用 “Let me put it this way…” / “The way I see it…”,别用长 “uh”。

10 Core Sentence Patterns 句型

每天都要练的 10 类句型。

  1. Purpose
    The purpose of this call is to clarify your situation and agree the best next step.
  2. Key point
    The key point isn't whether AI can do it — it's whether the business can rely on the result.
  3. Risk
    The main risk is that the process looks efficient, but there's no clear accountability behind it.
  4. Recommendation
    My suggestion is to start with a small, controlled use case before full implementation.
  5. Uncertainty
    I'd need to understand the context before giving you a firm view.
  6. Asking to clarify
    Could you clarify what you mean by "compliance issue" here?
  7. Confirming understanding
    Let me check I've understood you correctly.
  8. Next step
    The next practical step would be to review the current process and find the risk points.
  9. Disagreeing
    I see the logic, but I'd be careful with that assumption.
  10. Closing
    I'll summarise the key points in writing and suggest a next step.

Recording Self-Check 录音必查 5 点

录完别只问“感觉好不好”,逐条打勾。

  1. 有没有卡壳?(fluency)
  2. 有没有句子太长?(short sentences)
  3. 有没有中文直译的句式?(no Chinese calques)
  4. 重点清不清楚?(one idea per sentence)
  5. 够不够专业?能发给一个英国客户听吗?(credibility)

5 Mistakes to Avoid 必须避免的错误

  1. 追求高级词汇 → 追求 clear, structured, commercially relevant
  2. 把中文长句直译 → 拆成短句,一句一个意思
  3. 害怕重复 → 刻意重复关键词是专业,不是词穷
  4. 只练输入 → 核心是 录音 → 回听 → 改 → 再录 → 实战
  5. 用英语炫"我懂很多 AI" → 真正要传达 "I understand your business problem."
