This is the second of a two-part Business English Pod series on presenting an argument.
这是2节商务英语系列播客的第2节,将要学习如何陈述论点。

When you’re presenting an argument, it’s important to back up what you’re saying. You need to have relevant facts and examples at your fingertips and think ahead to what your opponents might say. It’s also helpful to know how to talk in broad terms and give your argument some contrast. Finally, it’s good to know how to conclude your argument in a clear, concise way.
当你做陈述时,支持你所说的内容是十分重要的。你需要用相关的事实和现成的例子,并要考虑不同意你观点的人会如何说。知道如何使用清楚无误的术语来表达并进行对比也是有帮助的。最后,要知道如何做准确而明了的总结。

In this lesson, we’ll explore these points in detail. We’ll talk about ways to give powerful examples. We’ll also look at language for making contrasting points and generalizations. And, we’ll show you how to finish up your argument, either formally or informally.
这节课中,我们会详细地探究这些要点。我们会谈到给出给力支持例子的方法。我们也会学到用来比较论点和归纳的语言。也会教你如何结束陈述,无论是正式地还是非正式地。

Last time, we met Jack and Dan, who work for an American guitar manufacturer. Jack thinks moving production to Costa Rica would be a good financial move for the company. But Dan isn’t so sure.
