實用職場英文：如何傳遞好消息

本期「英文教室」要介紹傳遞好消息的表達方式，前幾期分別於不同主題中，提到語言強度的應用，傳遞好消息時，同樣也要注意語言的強度，才能一開口就贏得人心。

　　用英文給對方捎來好消息其實很簡單，尤其當對方對此消息期待已久時，僅需掌握語言的強度，即可適切的表達。

一、消息本身強度較低的用法

• I have a bit of good news.（我有一些好消息）

I have a bit of good news. Our company has finished selecting the applicants who wish to join the MA program this year.（我有一些好消息。我們公司今年已完成儲備幹部的招募與篩選。）

二、辦公室常見用法 

• We have good news.（我們有好消息）

We have good news. Our revenue this month has increased by 20%.（我們有好消息。本月業績上升了20%。）

三、報喜訊時常見用法（半正式，通常伴隨開心喜悅的口吻）

• We have great / wonderful / splendid news.（我們有個超讚的消息）

We have wonderful news. We are starting a clean energy project that will help us become a green company by the beginning of the third quarter this year. （我們有個超讚的消息。我們已經啟動了潔淨能源項目，今年第三季開始，將會成為綠色環保的公司。）

四、正式宣布好消息的用法

• We are excited to announce / share that…（我們很興奮的宣布／分享）

We are excited to announce that we have signed the contract with ABC company!（我們很興奮的宣布，我們跟ABC公司簽訂合同了！）

Sample Dialogue（情境範例）

Mark：Did you have a good lunch break, Sabrina?（用過餐了嗎？Sabrina.）

Sabrina：Yes, I did. In fact, I have a bit of good news. There is a new food court in the building next to ours and it’s open to everyone.（有的。事實上，我有一個好消息。隔壁大樓的新美食街已經開始對外營業了。）

Mark：Finally, we have more choices for lunch – and even dinner!（終於，我們的午餐有更多選擇了，甚至晚餐！）

Sabrina：We would no longer be limited to convenience-store meals and instant noodles during busy days.（以後我們忙碌時，將不再只能選擇便利商店或泡麵了。）

Mark：I also have wonderful news. All our colleagues who are sent to other locations and those who work from home can finally come back to the office.（我也有很棒的消息。之前分流到其他區域工作或在家工作的同事們，都可以回來辦公室上班了。）

Sabrina：That’s amazing! I know there are many people who don’t like working from home because they feel disconnected and they don’t have full access to company resources.（那真是太好了！我知道那些在家工作的同事不太適應這樣的模式，有時會感覺無法跟辦公室接軌，或是無法完全取得辦公室的資源。）

Mark：Well, they will be back by the end of the month. We had several internal online meetings last week, in preparation for their return.（嗯，這些同事將會於月底前歸隊。上周我們內部開過數次線上會議，就是為了準備夥伴們的回歸。）

Sabrina：When I go back to my floor, I will be very excited to announce that to everybody in my department.（我迫不及待等一下就回去告訴部門同仁這個好消息。）

Mark：However, we still need to stay cautious and continue to follow safety protocols. Masks, hand sanitizers, and temperature checks will be utilized until this pandemic is over.（不過，我們仍需要注意並持續謹守防疫守則。在疫情結束之前，要確實戴口罩、量體溫，並且用酒精消毒雙手。）
