来晚了，来晚了，不好意思大家，今天有期中考，又完成作业的，所以现在才来学习Englishpod第十期，废话不多说，let's start.
(没想到都得自己手动添加分割线的，太难了我）
Englishpod 第十期
A: All right, people. We’re holding this meeting today because we’ve got to do something about our sales, and we need to do it NOW! I want concrete solutions. How do you intend to drive sales... Roger?
B: Well, in fact, we’re the most expensive in the market, so maybe we need to lower our prices to match the competitors?
A: Lower our prices? Not very creative. It’ll never fly with Swan. What kind of thinking is that? Geez. Anybody else have a better plan? Natalie?
C: Um, perhaps, um, a sales promotion. Maybe a two-for-one offer, or something like that!
A: What? That’s the same thing. Bad idea. Really bad idea. Dammit people come on! Think! The CEO will be here any minute.
D: Do we have any ideas yet?
C: Yes Mr. Swan, we were kind of considering a two for- one offer to get more competitive.
D: A two-for-one promotion? Hmm. I kind of like the sound of that. It sounds like something we should consider.
A: Yeah, exactly. Just what I was thinking! In fact, that’s a brilliant idea! I’m glad we thought of that. Very creative.
The next part is 重点单词，句型讲解。
-
Geez ，哎呀， 天啊
哦，天啊。好的，我马上就过去。请您不要离开，我会回来处理你的事情的
这是一个语气词，口语表达经常出现。
e.g. Oh, geez. Alright, I'll be right there. Don't you run away on me, I'll be right back for you.

3.Dammit 该死的，见鬼的

- any minute 随时
e.g. They keep the oil heated all the time because any****minute they may need to start the engines.
他们必须保持柴油有一定的温度，因为发动机要随时启动
okay,今天的内容就到这里啦，对话内容比较长，而且难度比之前长，所以要听多几遍，把听不懂的看一下，看看自己是单词不懂，还是短语不理解意思，然后再听。
大家加油
Thanks for your reading.
