染雾1.申请许可
Wouldn't it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday?
这个星期五，我是否可以休一天假?
请休假用takethe day off。如果是两天以上就用days off。老板会很干脆地答应说that'll be OK，或是会带有不悦意味回答will everything be all right?(一切都安排就绪了吗?)，这些都要看你平时的工作表现而定。
2.提议
I think we need to buy a new copier.
我想我们需要买一台新的复印机。
说出上句之前，必须说明our copying machine has broken down again.(复印机又出毛病了)以作为提案的依据。客气一些的提议，用suggest如I would suggest we buy a new copoer.
3.表示了解上司的指示
Yes,of course.是，我知道了。
也可用I understand(我明白了)，或Yes,right away(好的马上去做)，对上司说OK，或 all right并不恰当。很忙时，说I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?
4.确认上司指示的内容
Yor did say nexy Tuesday at 2:00 P.M.,didn't you?
您是说在下星期二下午2点，是不是?
任何事都必须确认一下。如果对方是外国人更要如此。上句也可直截了当地说：
let me
