Hello. My name is Benjamin, and I'm here to teach you on EngVid today
大家好，我是Benjamin。今天我要教大家一些非常棒的词汇，
some really good vocabulary for asking people to do what you want them to do in a working environment, helping you to be the boss.
教大家如何在工作中要求别人去做你想让他们做的事情，巩固你的老板形象。
Okay. So first thing, I want you to imagine, to think of one thing you want someone you work with to do, okay?
那么首先，大家想象一下，想一件想让别人去完成的事情。
What could it be? Think of the person -- you want to do -- okay, yeah. I want them to do that. Yeah. Good.
会是一件什么事呢？让谁去做呢？
So here are some different uses. We're going to talk through some different kinds of instructions,
方法有很多种，我们要讲一些不同的要求指令，
some different ways of asking people to do something, okay? Good.
一些要求他人做某事的不同方法。
So first one: 'aim at' or 'aim to'. So we could say, 'Bob, I'd like you to aim at producing that presentation by Tuesday morning.' Okay?
第一个：‘aim at’或者‘aim to’。我们可以说，‘鲍勃，我希望你能在周二上午之前完成这个报告。’
So when we use 'by', we introduce a deadline that they have to finish it by. Okay?
当使用‘by’一词时，我们是想指明完成这件事情的截止日期。
So 'I'd' -- obviously that's short for 'I would' like you to do this. Okay?
‘I'd’是‘I would’缩写，‘我希望你做这件事。’
Now, in terms of the pronunciation, 'I'd like you to aim', so we shorten -- we don't pronounce the 'O', and it becomes t' aim at'.
就发音而言，‘I'd like you to aim’中‘o’不发音，所以就变成了 ‘ t' aim at’
Okay? So this kind of all goes into one word.
所这就成了一个词。
'Bob, I'd like you to aim at finishing that presentation by Tuesday morning.'
‘鲍勃，我希望你能在周二上午之前完成这个报告。’
Now, Bob asked me what the presentation needs to be. So I say to him,
现在鲍勃问我报告需要哪些内容。我告诉他，
'Aim to have a beginning, a middle, an end with some graphs and some evidence.' Okay? 'Aim to'. 'Aim to do this, this, and this.' Great.
‘要有一个开头、高潮和结尾，结尾部分要有一些图形和依据。‘Aim to’，‘要做这做那。’
Now, 'count on' and 'rely on' are ways of checking, of asking if Bob can definitely do this, if he can do this.
第二个，‘count on’和‘rely on’，用于查看问询鲍勃能不能搞定这件事。
Okay? So I say to him, 'Bob, can I count on you to do that?' He either says yes or no.
我跟鲍勃说，‘鲍勃，我能指望你来完成这件事吗？’他要回答，能或不能。
If he says yes, I know that Bob can do the presentation. I could say it another way. 'Can I rely on you to do that?' Okay?
如果他说能，那么我就知道鲍勃能够完成这个报告。我也可以换一种说法，‘Can I rely on you to do that?’
Again, the pronunciation -- you don't really need to pronounce the 'to'. It just goes 't' do that'. Right?
关于发音--‘to’其实可以不发音，直接读成‘t' do that’。
So 'rely on', 'Can I rely on Bob to do this?' If I rely on Bob to do my presentation, Bob is doing the presentation,
‘Rely on’，‘鲍勃我能指望你来完成这件事吗？’如果我‘指望’鲍勃做报告，那么鲍勃做这个报告，
and I can do other work. I know Bob will do it. I rely on him. Okay? 'Rely on. Count on.'
而我可以做其他的工作。我知道鲍勃会做的。我指望他完成这个报告。
Okay, so 'count', is the same word as counting money -- one, two, three, four, five, six, seven pounds. Here, I'm counting on him. Good.
‘count’和数钱的‘count’是同一个单词。在这里表示的是我指望他。
To 'fit something in'. Okay? So 'fit', it's a word we use with clothes. Do these clothes fit? Do I fit into them? Do I fit in? Yeah, I fit. They fit me.
‘To fit something in’。这里的‘fit’一词常和衣服一起使用。这些衣服合身吗？我能穿吗？能，它们很合身。
'Is that something you can fit in? Can you fit this presentation into your day? Can you find time in your day to do the presentation?'
‘你有时间做这个吗？你能安排时间做一些这个报告吗？你能找时间做这个报告吗？’
'Is that' -- okay, meaning the work, the presentation -- 'a thing you can fit in?' Okay? 'Is that something you can fit in?'
‘Is that’ 指的是这个工作，这个报告，‘你有时间做吗？’ ‘你有时间做这个吗？’
Now, another way of saying this, 'Do you think you'll be able to squeeze it in?' So 'squeeze', here, that's more informal, okay?
换种说法，‘你觉得你能挤出时间来做这个吗？’这里的‘squeeze’是非正式用法。
So I say, 'Do you think you'll' -- so that's obviously short for 'you will' be able -- future tense, 'You will be able to squeeze it in.'
‘Do you think you'll’---这里是‘you will’的缩写，是将来时态，‘You will be able to squeeze it in.’
And the answer would be, 'Yeah. Sure, Benjamin. I can fit it in. No problem.' Okay? Are you with me so far?
可以回答，‘当然，我可以做。没问题。’大家有跟上我的节奏吗？
