アメリカで英語を話す際、相手が話している最中でも必要なタイミングで割り込むのは失礼にはあたりません。
いつ割り込まれても言いたいことの要点はすでに言っているという状態でいることは大切ですし、割り込む際に何を言っているのかがすぐに理解されないと、折角割り込んでも無視されてしまいます。
このためにどうしたら良いか。ーー通じる話の切り出し方、通じる話始め方を習得することが肝要です。
つまり、アメリカ人が頻繁に使っている切り出し表現をいかに効果的に使うかということになります。
「何を言い始めたのだろう、この日本人？？」という相手の顔が少しでも減るよう、日々努力です。
以下、アメリカのオフィスで実際に聞いたビジネス英語表現をご紹介します。
和訳してしまうと、日本語で考えて英訳してしゃべる癖がついてしまいますので、和訳は載せていません。
