Now, if I have doubts, if I have questions about Bob doing my presentation, I might need to follow up. Okay? It's a good idea to follow up.
如果我疑问，我对鲍勃做报告的事情有疑问，我则需要跟进。跟进是个不错的主意。
That means to check, 'Bob are you doing the presentation? Bob, how's the presentation going? Bob, any news with the presentation?'
这指的是，‘鲍勃，你在做这个报告吗？进展如何？有什么新进展吗？’
These are all ways of following up. Now, we can use 'follow up' with a noun.
这是询问进度的方法。‘Follow up’还有名词的用法。
'Bob, we will need to plan a followup.' 'A' or 'the' -- remember: There are articles with the followup, which is our noun. Okay? A 'followup', working there as a noun.
‘鲍勃，我们需要一个跟进计划。’要记着这里的‘a’和‘the’都是名词followup所带的冠词。‘Followup’用作名词。
We can also use it as a verb, okay? I say to Bob, 'I will be following up on this.' Okay? Future tense with 'will'.
也可以用作动词。我跟鲍勃说，‘我会跟进此事。’这里的‘will’是将来时。
Or another way of saying it, again in the future, 'Bob, I am going to follow up on this. I am going to follow up on this.'
或者换一种方法，也是用将来时，‘鲍勃，我要跟进此事。’
So 'follow' -- you might know the verb 'follow'. If I follow someone, I walk around on them. So if I'm following Bob, I'm making sure he's doing the work. Great.
大家应该认识这个动词‘follow’。如果我‘follow someone’，我就是跟在他们周围。所以如果我‘following Bob’，那么我是想确保他在做报告。
Now, Bob is getting a bit annoyed because I'm asking questions, questions, questions.
现在鲍勃有点生气了，因为我不停的问问题。
So he just says to me, 'Benjamin, no problem, sir. I can pull this off.' Okay? 'Pull off.' That means 'can do'. Okay? 'Pull off' means 'can do'.
所他跟我说，‘没问题的，老板。我能搞定。’ ‘Puff off’指的是‘可以做’。
Now, let's have a little picture. This is where we are now. This is where we want to get to.
想象一下，我们在这里，我们想要到这里。
And Bob is going to pull the target off. He's going to do it so easily. He's going to 'pull it off'. Okay?
鲍勃可以搞定。对他来说很容易。他能搞定的。
Now, I'm just going to go and check to see that Bob is doing his work.
我要去看看鲍勃做的怎么样了。
Okay. So the good news is Bob has done the presentation really well.
好消息是，鲍勃的报告完成的非常好。
So I've just got a few more little phrases to throw in there when we need to conclude something.
需要进行总结的时候，还可以用到一些短语。
So maybe you've been having a very long conversation, maybe over Skype, kind of a conference call.
比如，你通过Skype进行了很长时间的交谈，
You could say, 'Right. We're going to need to wind things up there. We're going to have to wind things up.' Okay?
你可以说，‘好了，我们就讲到这里吧。’
So 'wind up'. Imagine you're fishing; you're bringing in the line. You're winding in the line. Okay? You're coming to an end.
想象一些，你在钓鱼；你在收线。你在绕线。你要结束钓鱼了。
You could say, 'We're going to have to finish up.' Again, you could say, 'We're going to have to finish up there. At this point. Now.
你可以说，‘我们得结束了。’你可以说‘我们到此为止。
We're going to have to finish up there.' Okay? Imagine Formula One racing cars. When the cars finish, you wave the flag. 'We're going to have to finish up there.'
我们需要到此为止了。’想象一下一级方程式赛车。停车举旗。我们到此为止。
And one other way of saying it, 'We're going to have to draw to a close.' Okay? Close. Open, close, 'We're going to draw to a full stop' -- when the shop is shut.
另一种表达方式，‘我们就到这里吧。’这里的‘close’就是开关的‘close’。
Okay? So today, we've done lots of ways of asking people to do things. Why don't you have a go, now, at doing the quiz? It's on www.engvid.com.
