短语洞察 55 | Get across: 说话总是被误解？如何让人真正“听懂”？| 职场英语

🎧 节目简介你是否有过这样的经历：费尽口舌解释了半天，对方却依然一脸茫然，甚至完全曲解了你的意思？在沟通中，“说了”不代表“说通了”。本期 Beyond English 不止英语，Mandy 和 Patrick 带你解锁 "Get across" 的核心逻辑，并分享另外两个帮你有效传达信息的表达，让你的沟通不再无效。📖 CORE VOCABULARY• Get across: [讲清楚/被理解] - To make people understand something• Convey: [传达] - To transport or carry to a place; to communicate• Communicate: [沟通/交流] - To share or exchange information, news, or ideas• Misunderstanding: [误解] - A failure to understand something correctly• Message: [信息/主旨] - A significant point or central theme________________________________________🗣️ BILINGUAL SCRIPT (中英对照 · 辅助理解)Patrick: Hello everyone. Welcome to Beyond English. I'm Patrick.Patrick: 大家好。欢迎来到 Beyond English 不止英语。我是 Patrick。Mandy: And I'm Mandy. Patrick, I have a question about communication.Mandy: 我是 Mandy。Patrick，我有个关于沟通的问题。Patrick: Communication is key. What is on your mind?Patrick: 沟通是关键。你在想什么？Mandy: Well, yesterday I was explaining a new project to my team. I talked for ten minutes. I showed them charts. I thought I was very clear.Mandy: 嗯，昨天我在给团队解释一个新项目。我讲了十分钟。我给他们看了图表。我以为我很清楚了。Mandy: But at the end, someone asked a question that showed they didn't understand the main point at all. It was so frustrating. I felt like I was speaking a different language.Mandy: 但在最后，有人问了个问题，表明他们根本没听懂重点。太让人沮丧了。我觉得我就像在说另一种语言。Patrick: That happens to the best of us. You were talking, but the meaning wasn't travelling from your brain to theirs. You failed to: Get it across.Patrick: 这种事谁都遇到过。你在说话，但意思并没有从你的大脑传到他们的大脑。你没能：Get it across（把它讲清楚）。Mandy: Get it across. Like crossing a bridge?Mandy: Get it across。就像过桥一样吗？Patrick: Exactly. Think of communication as a river. You are on one side with your idea. The listener is on the other side.Patrick: 没错。把沟通想象成一条河。你带着你的想法在这一边。听众在那一边。Patrick: To "get your idea across," you have to build a bridge and carry the idea over to them. If the bridge is broken, the idea stays with you, no matter how loud you shout.Patrick: 要 "get your idea across"，你必须修一座桥，把想法运过去给他们。如果桥断了，无论你喊多大声，想法还是留在你这儿。Mandy: That is a great metaphor. I shouted, but I didn't build the bridge. So, are there other ways to say this? Maybe more formal?Mandy: 这是个很棒的比喻。我喊了，但我没修桥。那么，还有其他说法吗？也许更正式一点的？Patrick: Yes. In a formal report, you might use: Convey. "The report conveys the importance of safety."Patrick: 有。在正式报告中，你可能会用：Convey（传达）。“报告传达了安全的重要性。”Mandy: Convey. That sounds professional. What if I just want to say "I told them"?Mandy: Convey。听起来很专业。如果我只是想说“我告诉了他们”呢？Patrick: You can say "I communicated the message." But "Get across" emphasizes the success of the understanding.Patrick: 你可以说“我传达了信息 (communicated the message)”。但 "Get across" 强调的是理解的成功。Mandy: So if I "get it across," they definitely understand. Can I use this for feelings too?Mandy: 所以如果我 "get it across"，他们肯定懂了。我可以用这个来形容感情吗？Patrick: Yes. If you are angry, but you are smiling, you might not "get your anger across." People might think you are joking.Patrick: 可以。如果你很生气，但你在笑，你可能没法“传达你的愤怒 (get your anger across)”。人们可能以为你在开玩笑。Mandy: That explains a lot of my arguments! So, Patrick, is "Get across" the same as "Explain"?Mandy: 这解释了我很多次争吵的原因！那么，Patrick，"Get across" 和 "Explain"（解释）一样吗？Patrick: Not exactly. "Explain" is what you do. You can explain something badly.Patrick: 不完全是。“Explain”是你做的动作。你可以解释得很烂。Mandy: And get across?Mandy: 那 get across 呢？Patrick: "Get across" is the result. It means the explanation worked. If you explain but they don't understand, you didn't get it across.Patrick: "Get across" 是结果。意味着解释奏效了。如果你解释了但他们没懂，你就没把它讲清楚 (didn't get it across)。Mandy: Process versus Result. I need to focus on the result.Mandy: 过程对比结果。我得关注结果。Patrick: Listeners, do you have trouble getting your ideas across in English?Patrick: 听众朋友们，你们在用英语表达想法时有困难吗？Mandy: Maybe try simpler words or more examples.Mandy: 也许试试更简单的词或者更多的例子。Patrick: Tell us your tips in the comments. Go beyond words.Patrick: 在评论区告诉我们你的技巧。超越词汇。Mandy: See you next time.Mandy: 下次见。在小宇宙查看该单集文稿
