禮貌打斷、請求發言
這句其實講得不錯,但學生常只會用 "Can I say something?" 或直接插話。"If I may respond" 是很專業的打斷句型頭,值得學起來,後面能接不同對象或主題。
If I may respond to ___,
「容我回應一下___」——禮貌插話、爭取發言權的專業說法,比 Can I say something 正式。
聽真人怎麼講 (YouGlish)- If I may respond to that point, I think both sides raise valid concerns.
- If I may respond to the client, the delay was a process issue, not a quality one.
- If I may respond to your earlier question, the timeline actually tells a different story.

講清楚需求、指定要對方提供什麼
"Can you provide specific examples of ___" 是很好的需求句型頭,學生開會常講成 "Do you have some examples?" 顯得模糊。這個版本更精準、更能逼出具體內容。
Can you provide specific examples of ___?
「你能不能給幾個___的具體例子?」——要求對方拿出實據、避免空泛回答的句型頭。
聽真人怎麼講 (YouGlish)- Can you provide specific examples of when this became a real problem?
- Can you provide specific examples of the vendors that were involved?
- Can you provide specific examples of how these systems were funded?

提出擔憂
學生表達擔憂常只會 "I'm worried that..." 一直重複。"What's troubling is that ___" 把重點前置,語氣更沉穩、更像母語專業人士,能凸顯問題所在。
What's troubling is that ___.
「真正令人擔憂的是___」——把最關鍵的疑慮放前面強調,比 I'm worried 更有份量。
聽真人怎麼講 (YouGlish)- What's troubling is that no one has ever been held accountable for this.
- What's troubling is that the same standards aren't applied to both teams.
- What's troubling is that these decisions were made without any transparency.

追問進度、逼對方交代後續
直接問「這件事有沒有被問過?」略顯單薄。升級成 "Has anyone followed up on ___?" 這種追進度句型頭,在職場會議追蹤 action item 時超實用。
- Has anyone followed up on the funding question yet?
- Has anyone followed up on the emails the team mentioned?
- Has anyone followed up on whether this was ever rolled out internally?

劃清界線、指出區別

There's a difference between ___ and ___.
「___和___是兩回事」——精準劃分兩個容易被混為一談的概念的句型頭。
聽真人怎麼講 (YouGlish)- There's a difference between a suggestion and real pressure.

表態立場、把話講在前面

I want to state for the record that ___.
