有關商務英語交流中的幾種新鮮的精選說法

　　1.add up to

　　合計達;總括起來意味著.此語本義指'合計為',在日常生活中多用喻義,即'總括起來意味著'.在使用中應注意與'add up'一詞的區(qū)別.'add up'本指'把 … 加起來',其喻義為'言之有理,說得通'

　　如:The facts just don't add up.(這些事情合計起來不對頭.)

　　A:His cashier said he had locked the safe before he left. 出納說他走時把保險柜鎖上了.

　　B:But how did the money disappear from it if it was locked? 如果鎖上了那錢怎么沒的`?

　　A:I just wonder ... 我只是奇怪......

　　B:What do you think it all adds up to? 你想這一切意味著什么?

　　A:It adds up to the fact that we have been cheated. 意味著我們被騙了.

　　2.agree to differ

　　求同存異,指的是'各自保留不同意見(不再說服對方)',意即'求同存異'.

　　A:What do you mean? 你是什么意思?

　　B:Considering the major contracts they might give us, I overlooked the small loss. 考慮到他們可能與我們簽訂大宗合同,小小的損失我就忽略不計了.

　　A:So you agreed to differ? 所以你就求同存異?

　　B:That's right. 沒.

　　3.all told

　　合計;總之.此語原義為'總計,合計',引申為'總之'.

　　如:All told,it was a great credit to them.(總之,這給他們大大增了光.)

　　A: How many people attended today's meeting?有多少人參加了今天的會議?

　　B: There were seventeen of us at the meeting, all told. 一共有十七個人.

　　A: Issue an announcement that if somebody doesn't attend meeting next time, his or her bonus will be deducted. 發(fā)布一則通知,就說如果有人下一次不參加會議,他或她的獎金全扣.

　　4.all wet

　　搞錯了,wet原義為'濕的',引申為某人'沒經驗',All wet多見于美國俚語,意為'大錯特錯'.

　　A:I made a reservation two days ago. My name is David Johnson. 我前天在這兒預訂了房間,我叫戴維-約翰遜.

　　B:Reservation? What do you mean? 預訂?什么意思?

　　A:I booked a single room here for tonight. 我訂了一間今晚的單人房.
