常用应急场景

范例一：A suggest you quit smoking¹

Would you mind if I make a suggestion?

Of course not, go ahead.

Maybe you should try to quit smoking. You know it is very bad for your health.

Well, sure it is. Actually, I have been cutting down the amount since two months ago. I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes for a single day. Now I limit it to 6 cigarettes a day.

You have made a big progress. Quitting smoking is not an easy job. But it will be rewarding² in the long run.

Thank you for your suggestion.

You’re welcome.

范例二：I suggest we have a dinner party

I wonder if it is possible that we organize a dinner party for all the colleagues³ in our departments. They are working very hard these days. Maybe it is time for everybody to relax a little.

That is a good idea, I love it. What time do you think is convenient⁴?

Well, what about this Thursday evening after we finish the weekly meeting?

Ok, I will inform everybody when they come back from lunch. It has been a long time since we had the department dinner last time. I am sure they don’t want to miss it.

I hope so. Let me know how many will come. Then I will book the restaurant.
