商用英文口語

進行企業溝通時，以細膩的表達方式自然地使用英文，與商務夥伴建立起的關係會更加牢固可靠；而一句話也不會只有一種表達法，希望讀者們看完例句後能舉一反三，依照自己所遇到的情境靈活應用。

Feel free to have a look at our demonstration models. And this is our latest brochure.
歡迎來看看我們的樣品。這本是我們的最新產品型錄。

中式英文 Welcome to take a look at our samples. This is the catalog of our latest products.

老外這樣說在展場站攤位時要吸引客戶前來參觀，"Welcome to take a look at …." 聽起來不如 "Feel free to look at …." 來得親切。此外，"demonstration model" 比 "sample" 更可顯示出動態展示的感覺。

實境對話

A：Feel free to have a look at our demonstration models. And this is our latest brochure.
B：OK, thanks. A：歡迎參考我們展示的型號。這是本公司最新的宣傳冊。
B：好的，謝謝。

老外還會這樣說
