When you're working on a team project, you will be given tasks to do or responsibilities to complete.

你是否注意到所使用的语言听起来很有礼貌？
In English, it's usual to give instructions in this polite way.
在英语中，通常以这种礼貌的方式给出指示。
Let's look at the phrases from the dialogue together.
让我们一起来看看对话中的短语。
To allocate the task, the team lead said 'would you be able to sort out the printing?' It sounds like a question, doesn't it?
要分配任务，团队负责人说“你能整理一下印刷品吗？”这听起来像是一个问题，对吧？
But the team lead is allocating a task.
但是团队负责人是在分配任务。
This actually means 'sort out the printing' ; it's not actually a question.
这实际上意味着需要去“整理印刷品”；其实并不是一个问题。
So what language did the team lead use to give instructions?
那么团队领导使用什么语言来下达指令呢？
There were two instructions.
有两条指令。
Can you remember them?
你能记住它们吗？
The first was 'it might be best to get some prices first.' This sounds like a suggestion, but it's actually an instruction.
第一个是“最好先了解一下价格。”这听起来像是一个建议，但它实际上是一个指令。
It means 'get some prices first.' You can use 'it might be best to…' to give instructions or make suggestions in an indirect, polite way.
这意味着“先了解一下价格。”你可以使用“最好是……”以间接、礼貌的方式提供指示或建议。
The second was 'do you think you can do it before the weekend?' Again, the language is very polite, so this sounds like a question.
第二个是“你认为能在周末之前完成吗？”同样地，语言非常有礼貌，所以听起来像是一个问题。
It's an instruction, though.
不过，这是一个指令。
It means 'do it before the weekend.' This is common when you want to be indirect or polite.
意思是“在周末之前做完”。当你想要表现得间接或礼貌时，这很常见。
You might hear 'questions' like 'would you be able to handle the animation work?' Again, these aren't really questions.
你可能会听到诸如“你可以处理动画工作吗？”之类的“问题”。同样，这些都不是真正的问题。
They're polite instructions.
它们是礼貌的指令。
Sometimes you might want to check that you've understood the tasks or check some information.
有时你可能想要检查你是否理解任务或核对一些信息。
Let's look at how to do that next.
接下来让我们看看如何做吧。
Pop quiz: what's a word beginning with 'c' which means to check information, or make something clearer?
小测验：意思是检查信息，或者让事情更清楚的以“c”开头的单词是什么？
Here's a hint: you saw this word on screen a few seconds ago.
提示：几秒钟前你在屏幕上看到了这个词。
The answer is 'clarify'.
答案是“澄清”。
When working in a team, you might need to clarify instructions or other information; you need to check that you've understood what you need to do.
在进行团队工作时，你可能需要澄清说明或其他信息；你需要检查你是否理解你需要做什么。
In this your next dialogue, there are four phrases for checking instructions.
在你的下一个对话中，有四个用于检查说明的短语。
See if you can hear them as you listen.
看看你能不能在听的时候发现它们。
So, when the designs are ready, would you be able to label them?
所以设计准备好之后，你是否能够给它们贴上标签呢？
What exactly do you mean by label them?
你说的给它们贴标签到底是什么意思呢？
Just put headings on them.
只需给它们加上个标题。
Something simple.
简单一点就行。
OK, but I'm still not entirely clear what you're looking for.
好的，但我仍然不太清楚你期待的是什么样子的。
Do you want descriptive titles, or…?
你想要描述性的标题，还是……？
Yes, just a simple title so that we can organise the files and keep track of what's where.
是的，只需要一个简单的标题，以便我们可以组织文件并跟踪文件所在的位置。
Can I just check whether you also want serial numbers on them?
我可以确认一下是否也需要序列号吗？
I do, yes.
是的。
And some sort of reference too, please.
也请提供一些参照。
When you say reference, do you mean a file name?
参照的意思，您是指文件名吗？
Yes.
是的。
So each design will have a heading, a number and a reference.
所以每个设计都有一个标题、一个数字和一个参照。
Sorry, can you just run through that again?
对不起，你能再说一遍吗？
How did you do?
你做得怎么样？
Did you hear any of the phrases for clarifying?
你有没有听到任何澄清的短语呢？
The first one you heard was 'what exactly do you mean by label them?' You can use 'what exactly do you mean by…', to check a specific part of the information.
你听到的第一句话是“你说的给它们贴上标签是什么意思呢？”你可以使用“你的意思是……”来检查信息的特定部分。
For example, 'what exactly do you mean by complete?' The second one in the dialogue was 'can I just check whether you want numbers on them?' You can say 'can I just check whether' or 'can I just check if'.
例如，“您所说的完整是什么意思呢？”对话中的第二个是“我可以确认一下你是否需要数字吗？”你可以说“我可以确认一下吗”或“我可以确认一下吗”。
They mean the same.
意思是一样的。
For example, you could say 'can I just check whether you need hard copies of the contracts?' Or: 'can I just check if you need hard copies of the contracts?' The third one you heard was 'when you say reference, do you mean a file name?' This is another way to check a specific part of the information.
例如，你可以说“我可以确认一下您是否需要合同的复印件吗？”或者：“我可以确认一下您是否需要合同的复印件吗？”你听到的第三个是“你说的参照是文件名的意思吗？”这是检查确认信息特定部分的另一种方法。
You can use this for other things, too: 'when you say …, do you mean…?' For example 'when you say Friday, do you mean this Friday, or next week?' The last one in the dialogue was 'sorry, can you just run through that again?' 'Run through' is a phrasal verb which means to explain or summarise something from beginning to end.
你也可以将其用于其他用途：“您说……的意思是……？”例如，“你说的星期五是指这个星期五还是下周？”对话中的最后一句是“对不起，你能再讲一遍吗？”“Run through”是一个短语动词，意思是从头到尾解释或总结某事。
It's a useful phrase if you want someone to repeat the instructions.
如果你希望有人重复说明以下情况的话，这是一个有用的短语。
What's next?
接下来是什么呢？
You're working on your team project, but how is everything going?
你正在处理你的团队项目，但进展如何呢？

Well, we could shelve that idea for now.

Then we can stay on track; we can always come back to it later.
然后我们就可以按计划进行； 我们可以稍后再回来看一看。
Ok, that's a good idea.

你能记住吗？
You heard 'keep on schedule', 'stay on track' and 'keep to the deadline'.
你到了“按时完成”、“按计划进行”和“遵守最后期限”。
'Keep on schedule' and 'stay on track' are similar.
“按计划进行”和“按计划进行”是相似的。
They both mean that work is finished on time and you don't fall behind.
它们的意思都是工作按时完成，不会落后。
'Keep to the deadline' means that the whole project will be ready on time.
“按时完成”意味着整个项目将按时准备就绪。
You can use the verb 'stick to' instead of 'keep' with the same meaning.
你可以使用动词“坚持”而不是“保持”，意思相同。
So you can say 'stick to the schedule' or 'stick to the deadline'.
所以你可以说“按时完成”或“遵守最后期限”。
You also heard some expressions relating to monitoring progress in the dialogue.
你还听到了一些有关监督对话进展的表述。

“我想要定期更新进度”意味着你希望团队与你沟通并告诉你项目每天或每周的进展情况。
'I'll keep you in the loop' means 'I'll keep you informed'.

If you're out of the loop, you aren't communicating with other team members and you don't know what's going on.
如果你处于局外的话，就是没有与其他团队成员交流，你不知道发生了什么。
Finally, you also heard the expression 'we could shelve that idea for now'.
最后，你还听到了“我们可以暂时搁置这个想法”的表达。
