1.提议
　　I think we need to buy a new projection apparatus.
　　我想我们需要买一台新投影仪。
　　说出上句之前，必须说明our projection apparatus has broken down again. 投影仪又出毛病了以作为提案的依据。
　　客气一些的提议，用suggest，例如：
　　I would suggest we buy a new projection apparatus.
　　2．确认上司指示的内容
　　You did say next Monday at 5:00 pm, didn't you?
　　您是说在下个星期一下午5点，是吗？
　　任何事都必须确认一下。如果对方是外国人更要如此。
　　上句也可直截了当地说let me confirm… 让我确认一下……
　　3.报告商谈结果
　　I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan.
　　我觉得他赞成那个计划
　　I have a feeling (that)……我觉得……
　　若是表示“反对这个计划”，则可以用 be against the plan.
　　即：I had a feeling he was against the plan.
