高效组织会议——表达观点 Giving Opinions
表达观点 Giving Opinions
在英语中，表达观点的方式有很多种。根据你所要表达观点的语气强弱来选择合适的表达方式。
提示别人你有话要说。
☉In my opinion……
在我看来……
☉Generally speaking, I think……
通常来说，我认为……
☉Personally, I think……
我个人认为……
☉The way I look at it……
就我看……
☉I’d just like to say……
我只是想说……
☉I’m quite convinced that……
我非常确信……
☉To be quite honest/frank……
老实说/坦白说……
☉If you ask me……
如果让我说……
表达相对中立的观点
既然不愿与对方的观点“相去甚远”，就应当更多地照顾对方的立场，尽可能表现得柔和一些，尽可能体现出你“个人”的感觉。
☉I think……
我想……
☉I feel that……
我觉得……
☉As far as I'm concerned……
依我看……
☉As I see it……
在我看来……
☉In my view……
以我的观点……
☉I tend to think that……
我倾向认为……
表达较强的观点
除了强调“个人”的同时，可以加上“肯定”“绝对”“坚持”“无疑”等副词来增强你的肯定语气。
☉I'm absolutely convinced that……
我坚决认为……
☉I'm sure that……
我肯定……
☉I positively maintain……
我积极坚持……
☉I strongly believe that……
我坚信……
☉I have no doubt that……
对于……我确信无疑。
询问别人的观点
如果总是用“What’s your opinion”多少有些乏味，可以试试下面的不同说法。
☉What do you think?
你怎么认为？
☉What's your view?
你有什么样的观点？
☉How do you see the situation?
你怎么看这个情况？
☉What’s your take on it?
你怎么看？
总结如果你只是想让对方了解你的想法，在意的是探讨的过程而非谁赢谁输，一个“我想”或“我认为”就行了。如果你想“得理不让人”，一定要辩出个是非曲直，那就通过一些副词来增强语气，例如“我坚信”或“我肯定”。

up for discussion来讨论
实景对话1A：Hello everyone！Let's start our meeting. The first item up for discussion is evaluation of our new logo design.
B：Uh……The Artistic Department isn't here yet. Personally, I think we ought to wait for them to get here before we start. Since it's their design, Ifeel that they should be here when we discuss their work.
A：In my opinion, it might be better if we discussed their design before they got here. I'm quite convinced that people will be more candid about their opinions of the design if the artists aren't sitting here listening.In fact, I put this discussion item first and asked the Artistic Department to come later on purpose.I have no doubt that honest criticism will flow more freely this way.
B：If you ask me, I still prefer that they were here to get feedback on the design. But if you think this is a better way……Let's go ahead.
A：Okay, If everyone can take a look at the overhead projection. Here are three different logo designs the artistic team submitted. Jim, what's your take on these logos?
C：To be quite honest, I'm not too fond of any of them. The way I look at it, we should have something a little catchier, something more modern, more colorful. I feel that all three of these designs are too boring.
A：大家好，我们开始开会吧。第一个讨论的议项就是评审我们新的标志设计。
B：嗯……艺术部的还没有到。我个人认为我们应该等他们到了以后再开始。
因为这是他们设计的，我觉得我们讨论他们的工作的时候，他们应该在场。
A：依我看，在他们来之前我们就讨论他们的设计更好。我认为当艺术家不在场时，人们讨论他们的设计才会畅所欲言。事实上，我是有意首先讨论该项的，并且让艺术部的人晚点来。我坚信只有这样，诚实的批评才会更加自然地涌现。
B：但如果让我说，我还是倾向于他们在场，这样他们能够得到对设计的反馈。
但是如果你觉得那样更好……我们就开始吧。
A：好的，请大家看幻灯片，这里是艺术部提出的三个不同的标志设计。吉姆，你怎么看这些标志？
C：老实说，没有一个是我非常中意的。在我看来，应该更易懂、更时尚、更鲜艳些，我觉得这三种都比较乏味。
实景对话2A：So what's your view on the new company organization?If you ask me，
I think Human Resources was crazy to combine the sales team and the marketing team into one department.
B：Generally speaking, I think that most people would disagree with this arrangement. I'd just like to say I think it's a usual way to try to deal with employee unrest.
A：Unrest?I'm absolutely convinced that it wasn't unrest that caused the rearranging. I'm sure that it had something to do with payroll.I strongly believe that they wanted to cut back on the cost of employees, so they decided to consolidate the departments.
B：You think that they consolidated the departments in order to eliminate some positions and lay people off?With the economic recession, I have no doubt that they are trying to conserve funds, but I tend to think that they wouldn't compromise the integrity of the departments.
A：Are you sure?As I see it, the realignment and impending pink slips are definitely related. How do you see the situation?
B：I like to think a little more optimistic about things.
A：你对新的公司组织结构有什么想法？如果你问我，我认为人力资源部将销售部和营销部合并成一个部门的做法实在是有些疯狂。
B：一般说来，大部分人都会对这个安排持反对意见。我只能说这是应对员工不安状态的普通方式。
A：不安状态？我坚决认为并非是不安状态造成了这样的重组。我肯定这和工资管理有关系。我非常肯定他们是想削减员工开支，所以才合并了部门。
B：你认为他们合并部门旨在削减职位并且解雇员工？随着经济的衰退，我相信他们正在节约资金，但我还是倾向认为他们不会因此违背部门的整体性。
A：你肯定吗？照我看，调整以后紧接着就是解雇通知书。你怎么看？
B：我倾向于对这些保持更乐观的态度。
