나만의 비즈니스 영어, 이충훈

I am a IR man and a planning on the side.

I work around the clock.

   

That's just my sideline. This website is my bread and butter.

   

Don't make a hasty decision.

   

How do you commute to work?

   

The traffic is light on the freeway.

   

The traffic is moving at a snail's pace.

   

I got stuck in traffic.

   

I just need to save my daily work record on the computer.

   

Everybody, listen up, We're here to celebrate Tim's promotion, right?

Then Let's make a toast to Tim's promotion.

Cheers! Bottoms up!

   

Let's change the scenery. I'll buy you another round.

   

The printouts are faded. I think it ran out of toner.

   

I'm gonna upload the file to the thread. (게시판)

   

I'll give it my best shot.

   

I tried to. But everybody seemed to like it, so I decided to go with the flow.

   

I'm busy wrapping things up.

I'm really up against a tight deadline.

   

I'm up to my ears in work right now.

   

Please get it done by tomorrow afternoon.

   

Let's just hope everything goes according to the plan.

…………………………. the deal comes through soon.

   

   

The process of the new product development is slow in comparison with our competitors.

What's the best way to speed up the development of new products?

   

   

I go along with your suggestion.

   

I have no objection to your proposal, but the boss won't give us the green light.

   

In the short term, it may bring us some profits, but as for the long term, we may lose our customers.

   

I strongly believe that it's time to develop the oversea market.

Crisis is an opportunity. We need to aggressively invest in the expansion of new markets.

… Who's going to take the blame for everything?

   

What I am proposing is that we need to reduce the size of our staff.

With all due respect, I think your idea is short-sighted.

Instead of reducing our staff, I think we should focus on cutting down unnecessary overhead costs.

   

My phone is low on battery. It keeps breaking up.

   

We've booked you into a nearby hotel.

   

You're scheduled to meet my boss at 4

   

First of all, thank you for attending this meeting despite your busy schedules.

   

My point is, our department is understaffed.

   

The first item on the agenda is about the expansion of our business.

   

We'll have to defer the decision for another time.

   

I'd like to suggest that we go around the table.

Good, please be brief and to the point. Okay. Let's begin in a clockwise direction.

   

We should start a new advertising campaign emphasizing rewards such as trips to major sporting events and luxurious spa getaways.

   

We found some major technical glitches in the system.

   

Can you make it on time?

Can you make it some other time?

   

Will you be free to have lunch with me?

I have a previous engagement.

   

I completely forgot I have a prior commitment. I hope you accept my apology.

   

It totally slipped my mind. Can we move it up an hour?

   

Can we push it back an hour?

   

I'm so behind the times.

   

I'll take the time out to answer your questions.

   

Can I have my parcel delivered to a specific time?

   

The rumor has it that J is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy.

Although the company is in the red, it's still solvent.

   

Did you get approval for extension of the deadline?

   

I'll be on a leave for a couple of days.

   

Jeju Island is a popular destination for foreign tourists.

   

Could you cover for me like half an hour?

   

We'll ship the replacement for the damaged products immediately.

   

I have a complaint about your service.

   

Our order was short by 3 units.

   

Usually our books are perfect, but occasionally faulty copies slip through.

   

Currently our market share is around 30%, but it's constantly rising.

   

How about we give double bonus points to our customers during special promotions?

   

Our company specializes in the export of semiconductors, and we give top priority to customer satisfaction.

That's way we have high customer loyalty.

   

It's good bargain for the price.

   

The contract is good for three years.

   

Both parties must comply with strict safety regulations.

   

Put your signature on the bottom of the form.

   

It looks like we've agreed on a price and conditions.

Before we finalize things, let's confirm what we have agreed on.

   

I 've been wanting to meet you for a long time.

   

I'd like to thank you for your visit on behalf of all the members.

   

I have a reservation under the name, DH Kook
