1122第二节：十句实用商业马屁用语

【疯狂短评】
在这个以市场经济为主导的社会里，拍马屁渐渐演变成为一种职业。生意场上，官场上，此举更为重要。学会用英语拍拍洋马屁，不但能够卖弄一下你的英语水平，还可以帮你挣美元哟！
【Kim’s Note】 There is a valuable skill in business and in life that you won’t find in any other text book. The polite name for this skill is flattery, the impolite name is ass-kissing! Whatever you choose to call it, there is no denying that it is a necessary and useful skill. When a compliment is paid in the right way and at the right time, it can be an extremely effective tool in communication. Remember to sound sincere, because an obvious flatterer or ass-kisser is a big turn off! Use these sentences to get started.

1. Your company is a big name in China.
（贵公司在中国很有名气。）
【Kim’s Note】 This sentence only works if the company is known in China at least a little. Don’t say this to someone who has no business here, or they will know you don’t mean it. However, if a company has invested any money in China at all, the managers will be so happy to hear that their investment has paid off.

2. Your business card looks very professional.
（您的名片看起来很有专业水准。）
【Kim’s Note】Business cards are of greater importance in Asia than they are in America, but this compliment is appropriate to anyone.

3. You were a big help to me and I hope I can repay you some day.
（你真是帮了大忙，我希望有机会报答你。）
【Kim’s Note】 Everyone likes to think they have been helpful. This sentence is good to use when someone has taken time to explain a difficult contract, or given you some helpful infomp3ation in business.

4. We couldn’t have done it without you.
（没有你我们就办不成这事。）
【Kim’s Note】This is good to use when making a toast to someone at the end of a dinner, or a business function. It is hard not to feel honored when someone says these words to you.

5. Seeing you all again is simply wonderful!
（再次见到大家，真是太棒啦！）
【Kim’s Note】Try to blurt out this sentence on your second visit to a company or office. Everyone will be happy to see you as well.

6. Your good advice was very much appreciated.
（非常感谢您的宝贵建议！）
【Kim’s Note】Even if you did the exact opposite of what someone suggested, or didn’t buy the stock they recommended, this is a good thing to say. Remember what they say about advice, “if you give it without being asked for it, don’t expect to be thanked for it!” You can be the exception to this rule. Thank everyone for advice, even when you don’t ask for it.

7. It’s good to know we’re working with such a strong partner.
（很高兴得知我们的合作伙伴如此有实力！）
【Kim’s Note】 If you have a di

sagreement with your partner, this is the perfect sentence to use. It shows that you respect the difference in opinion and it will give you an opportunity to discuss a compromise.

8. Your presence meant a great deal to us.
（您的光临使我们不胜荣幸！）
【Kim’s Note】This sentence is useful when saying goodnight and thanking people for coming to a meeting, conference or dinner. This is the kind of sentence Bill Clinton used to make every guest feel as though they were the most special guest of the evening. It is much more impressive than simply saying, “Thanks for coming.”

9. Thanks again for your clever and useful suggestion.
（再次感谢您宝贵的建议！）
【Kim’s Note】This is another sentence that can help take attention away from someone’s bad advice. The person offering advice will feel flattered and forget to ask you if you intend to carry out the suggestion or not.

10. I hope we will enjoy many more years of doing business together.
（希望今后我们在生意上能进行长期的友好合作！）
【Kim’s Note】A classic ending sentence to end our article! This is a perfect all-purpose sentence for toasting, or closing a meeting. It is also perfect after signing a contract. This sentence is also great when combined with a handshake or pat on the shoulder.
