A: Welcome to the show John.
J: It’s my pleasure, always.
A: Today, we would like to talk about expressions that people use all the time in the workplace.
J: I can contribute to that. I’ve been working for a long time.
A: Okay. Let’s elaborate on that.
J: On what? My working experience?
A: No, l’d like to talk about the word elaborate.
J: Okay, we use the word elaborate quite often in the workplace. When you need to know more about something, you can say, “Could you tell me more about that?” or “Would you care to elaborate on that?
A: Or, please inform me.
J: Yes, or please provide the information. And when you are not ready, you can say, “I’m still working on it.”
A: Right, you are still spending time on it.
J: And “Working With” probably means you are cooperating with someone.
A: You can say you are working with someone or collaborating with someone.
Okay. How about: “Move on”.
J: Move on is when you want to change the topic or subject, you can say, “Let’s move on”.
Now “Move up” is when you’d like to reschedule your meeting to an earlier time, you can say, “I’d like to move up my meeting.”
A: And the opposite expression is move back?
J: Yes, when you want to reschedule your meeting to later time, you can say, “I’d like to move back my meeting.”
A: You can use push instead of move.
J: Yes, “I’d like to push back my meeting. Or move back my meeting.
A: 일정이 겹치는 일도 생기겠죠. Conflict with something 이란 표현 쓸 수 있습니다. I have a conflict in my schedule.
J: When you have two or more tasks at the same time, it will conflict with your schedule. In that case you can move up, or move back one task.
A: Yes, we can postpone or delay too.
J: Yes, due to a scheduling conflict, we can postpone or put off that meeting. I need to put it off due to scheduling conflicts.
A: There’s many expression, you can use to show you are a flexible person. You can say, “I’ll arrange my schedule to fit yours.”
J: It shows you are flexible and considerate. Maybe say, “When is convenient for you?”
A: And when you notice somebody is looking out for you, we always say thank you for your consideration. 배려해 주셔서 감사합니다. 또 정중한 표현으로 어떤 나쁜 소식, 또는 스케쥴 변경같은 불편한 소식을 전할때 I hate to inform you that 이렇게 문장을 시작할 수 있습니다. Hate 싫어하다는 뜻이죠. 이런 소식을 알리게되 죄송하다는 표현입니다. I’m sorry to inform you that your schedule changed again.
J: So with that information, we can wrap this up.
A: No, not yet. When we say wrap something up, it means finish something. 하루 일과가 거의 끝나갈 때, 일 거의 끝나가요. 일 마무리 하고 있어요. 이런 표현 어떻게 할까요? I’m just finishing up.
J: And when we are almost finished our work, we can say: I’m wrapping up. I’m finishing up.
A: Okay. Let’s call it a day.
J: Okay, I think we got a lot accomplished today.
