Part 1. Introduction
To start off, could you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into the field of business communication?

那來台灣最常被問哪些問題？
你是美國人嗎
你是老師嗎
敢吃臭豆腐嗎
結婚了沒==

Part 2. Sharing work experience
from a consultant in Germany to a marketing manager for a medical company in Taiwan
分享與西方客戶合作和東方客戶合作的差異 Difference between collaboration with Western clients and Asian clients比方說台灣人談生意真的好愛應酬！一直喝酒甚至招待去旅遊？簽個合約搞得像在分手一直拖！
或是西方人講話真的太直接，我們亞洲人直接心碎，不是說好人情留一線日後好相見？

講到合作，應該會很需要用email來往溝通，寫信的時候有沒有什麼是你覺得很有趣或是需要特別注意的地方？比如說：我真的好想離職，但我又想寫一封不傷害彼此關係的離職信
outdated language-“I hope this email finds you well…” (depends on the relationship)Al tools- you can’t 100% trust it

Part 3. Promoting online course
Speaking of which, we’re excited to announce that we are collaborating with Jeni to launch a new business email course. Could you give our listeners a sneak peek into what they can expect from this course?

快速複習一下這集的主題句 ＆ 單字：
💡我昨天熬夜做報告
I stayed up late last night for this report.
I pulled an all-nighter to finish this report.
I burned the midnight oil to finish this report.

*I burned the midnight oil last night (課本上教的)
*說到「熬夜」，大家會自然想到 “stay up”，但是如果要傳達「通宵」的感覺，用“pull an all-nighter” 這個片語更貼近。
例句：I have to pull an all-nighter to finish this report. 我必須通霄才能完成這份報告了。

*另外，人在國外夜深了想吃宵夜時，若想問「這附近有開通宵的餐廳嗎？」，你可以說：“Are there any all-night diners around here?”
“work through the night” (burn the candle at both ends)

補充學習
那正是我需要的 That’s the ticket.黑眼圈 dark rings under one’s eyes千萬別說 black eyes，還以為是你被揍了咧~~黑眼圈只是眼眶周圍的黑色素沉澱，所以英文說 “dark rings under one’s eyes”
-”bags/baggage (under one's eyes)”

情境對話
Connie：Hey, Duncan, you look really tired. Want a cuppa coffee?
嘿，Duncan，你看起來很累，要來杯咖啡嗎？
Duncan：Yes, that’s the ticket.
太好了，這正是我需要的。
Connie：Did you not sleep well last night?
你昨天沒睡好嗎？
Duncan：Oh, I stayed up late last night working on a report until 3 AM.
歐~我昨天熬夜做報告到凌晨3點才睡。

快速複習一下這集的主題句 ＆ 單字：
💡別客氣～多吃點！
Help yourself.／Please have some.

（X）Eat more.
（O）Help yourself.／Please have some.
我們經常問人「吃飽沒」、「多吃一點」，直譯成英文聽起來就是不自然。Eat more是祈使語句，比較是命令人的口氣。
Help yourself 是指「自己來，別客氣」，也可以用 please have some，意思是「來一點，別客氣」。
No need to be polite.不用客氣
吃飯當中可以說的吃多一點：feel free to have more/ eat what you like

補充學習
問候的時候會說「吃飽了沒」Are you full? vs Have you eaten? (or Did you get anything to eat?)
自己吃飽要先離席的時候會說「你們慢慢用喔~」"Take your time."、"Enjoy your meal." 或是 "No rush, savor your meal."

情境對話
Connie: Hi, Duncan! Welcome to our picnic event.
嗨，Duncan！歡迎來參加我們的野餐活動。
Duncan: Hey, Connie! This is awesome, I'm really looking forward to enjoying some food.
嘿，Connie！太棒了，我很期待享受這裡的美食。
Connie: Haha, Well, help yourself. I prepared some snacks specially for this event. I hope you'll like them. Please have some!
哈哈，別客氣多吃點。我特地為這次活動做了一些小點心，希望你會喜歡。
Duncan: That's so thoughtful! I'm sure I will, thank you for preparing them.
太貼心了！我一定會的，謝謝你的準備。
