Preview Questions1). What will we learn from the first paragraph?2). What’s the meaning of “fire away”?3). What do they usually do at the meeting?3. Explanation of Difficult Sentences1). ( Para. 3 ) The manager willingly said, ‘Fire away ’. Analysis: Fire away is a verbal phrase that means go ahead. Translation: 经理乐意地说道:“那你就问吧”。
Example: All right, fire away, Tom. I am listening.2). ( Para. 4 ) Well, to begin with, do you hold regularly scheduled meetings with yoursubordinates?Analysis:To begin with is a parenthesis here. It can be replaced by to start with. Regularly scheduled can also be spelled with a hyphen between them as regularly-scheduled. A participle with a personifying adverb, usually showing the manner or mode of the verb action, can be used as a noun premodifier. Other examples are: well-paid job, nice-looking man, hand-written signature, hotly debated topic.Translation: “啊，首先请问您是否定期召集下属开会？”Example: (1) To begin with, all went well with him.(2) The hand-written signature should be followed by a typed signature.3). ( Para. 7 ) I listen while my people review and analyze what they accomplishedlast week…Analysis:What introduces an object clause, meaning the thing that and it is often translated as “什么事情/东西/话语”等。
Translation:“我听取下属总结分析上一周所做的工作…Example: I can’t describe what I felt at the moment.4). ( Para. 9 ) What would be the point of having the meeting if they weren’t? Analysis: This is an elliptical sentence. After if they weren’t, the words binding on me and my people are omitted. The word point here means meaning/purpose/value. Translation: “当然有约束力。
如果没有约束力，开会还有什么意义呢？”Example: What is the point of wasting time since we can’t solve the problem now? 5). ( Para. 14 ) By being organized we are a great deal more productive.Analysis: By being organized is a prepositional phrase made up of preposition + V-ing in its passive voice. Here the phrase is used as an adverbial of manner to modify the predicate.Translation: 组织起来，我们的工作效率就会大大提高。
Example: By working together, the farmers could get in their crops before the weather turned cold.6). ( Para. 19 ) You don’t believe me, do you?Analysis: Do you? is a tag question. If the statement is positive, the tag is negative, and vice versa.Translation:你不相信我说的话，对吗？Example: You had to wait a long time to get your visa, didn’t you?7). ( Para. 29 ) He left the manager’s office dumbfounded.Analysis:Dumbfounded is an adjective, used as the subject complement. The sentence can be paraphrased as He was dumbfounded when he left the manager’s office.Translation: 他离开经理办公室，感到有些茫然不知所措。
