怎样用英语口语传达坏消息

01常见说法

02bad news的特殊用法

此外，我们常用的bad news还有别的用法，即给某人或某物贴上标签。

例如，如果你知道一个人总是在工作中陷入麻烦或与上级发生冲突，你可以说：

That person is bad news.

那个人是个大麻烦。

That company is bad news. (Like a person the company has a bad reputation.)

那家公司很差劲。(像一个人一样，公司的声誉也很差。)

I’ve heard those cars are bad news. (A type of car that has many problems.)

我听说那些车很糟糕。(一种有很多问题的汽车。)

如果之后要传达一些不好的消息，试着用上面的表达吧，给接收消息的人平静情绪的时间。

传达坏消息的英语口语对话

Dialogue 1

A: Bob, can I talk to you for a minute? There have been some developments for the Stewart case that I really need to talk to you about.

B: Yeah, what's the matter now? We've had so much trouble with this case already. Don't tell me there's more bad news.

A: Well, I'm afraid there is. I have some bad news for you about the results of the forensic tests....there won't be any results.

B: What? What does that mean? Why won't there be any results?

A: I hate to tell you this, but it seems that every shred of evidence that would help us to convict were destroyed in a laboratory fire. There's nothing left. I'm so sorry...

B: Oh, no, you can't be serious. I never expect anything like this would happened. What are we going to do?

A: There's nothing that can be done. Everything is gone. I wish I could tell you differently, but what has happened has happened. We will just have to figure out a way to move on.

Dialogue 2

A: I got an email from our supplier yesterday about this quarter's order.... It doesn't look so good. Here, take a look.

B: "Dear Mr. Hardy, I am sorry to inform you that your shipment will be delayed. Due to circumstances beyond our control, our warehouse has been temporarily closed. There has been a problem with fire hazard violations in our industry and government officials have closed several warehouses without warning." Wow, that's bummer.

A: So that means that we'll be late in getting our order....

B: Did they say how long we have to wait until the order is filled?

A: Keep reading....

B: "We deeply regret any inconvenience this has caused you. We apologize for this unexpected delay in the shipment of your order. We can assure you that this will not happen again. We expect normal shipment service to resume soon. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help in the meantime. Sincerely." Looks like they don't have a date for us when the order can be filled.

A: They say "soon", but who knows how soon "soon" will be.
