talking points
谈话提示
讲解:
政治人物在面对媒体或民众时,通常会有专家先帮忙准备好一些重点提示,到时候政治人物照着提示说,比较不会说错话。同一个组织里的人要分别对外发言时,为了求取口径一致,也会事先准备好制式的谈话提示,免得谈话内容互相矛盾°这种「谈话提示」就是talking points。
例句:
So uneven was Gore’s footing in the public relations war that one often quoted adviser made a practice of instantly deleting the daily talking points the campaign would send him by e-mail.(出自:TIME,Dec. 25,2000,p. 43 )
高尔在公关战中的立场老是变来变去,于是他的一位常被媒体引述的顾问就养成一个习惯:高尔竞选总部每天以电子邮件传给他的谈话提示,他一收到就立刻删除,看也不看。
