經理建議降價。
The manager made a proposal to drop the price.
The manager suggested dropping the price in his proposal.
→The manager proposed to drop the price.
「建議」是"suggest",「提案」是"proposal"。若在提案中提出意見,就用"propose",別把句型複雜化了!
3. 直接把名詞動詞化
有些字我們用名詞慣了,像"impact"、"reference"。這些字也可做、轉換為動詞,讓句子更精簡,也強化印象:
這項新科技將衝擊零售業。
The retail industry will suffer from the impact of this new technology.
→This new technology will impact the retail industry.
