This is the second in a two-part Business English Pod series about an internal meeting to consider a proposal.
這是2節商務英語播客的第2節，將要學習到在內部會議中考慮提議。

As we saw in the last episode, this type of meeting can be similar to a negotiation. People with different opinions sit around the table and try to convince each other that their idea is the best. So in this situation, you need to be very persuasive and provide good reasons for your recommendations.
正如在上節課中所看到的那樣，這種會議和協商很類似。圍坐在會議桌旁的人們都有不同的想法，并要試圖勸說他人這節主意是最好的。在這種狀況中，你需要有說服力并為所提的建議提供好的理由。

In this lesson, we’ll look at how to express doubt, admit risk, confirm support, and speculate about possible future situations or scenarios. We’ll also cover language that you can use to highlight any concessions you might have won in a previous negotiation.
在這節課中，我們來看下如何表達懷疑，承認風險，肯定支持并對未來或方案進行深思。我們也會學到可以用來加強在先前協商中獲得的讓步。

In today’s dialog, we’ll rejoin Steve and his managers as they discuss a proposal for language training. Steve is recommending a blended training model that would combine classroom sessions with online training.
在今天的對話中，我們重新加入Steve和經理們共同探討語言訓練的提議，Steve推薦將上課和在線訓練相結合的混合訓練模式。

Listening Questions:
1. Which advantage of online training does Steve focus on?
2. What is the main concern of the two female managers?
3. If the blended approach doesn’t work, what do they have the option of doing?
