销售 xiāoshòu sales
计划 jìhuà plan
荣幸 róngxìng honored
重点 zhòngdiǎn key points
大家好，今天由我来给大家介绍新的销售计划，我感到非常荣幸。今年我们的重点是打开新市场。接下来我们有很多具体的工作要做，但是最重要的是各位同事一起努力。我们一起加油！你觉得怎么样？
dàjiā hǎo ，jīntiān yóu wǒ lái gěi dàjiā jièshào xīn de xiāoshòu jìhuà ，wǒ gǎndào fēicháng róngxìng 。jīnnián wǒmen de zhòngdiǎn shì dǎkāi xīn shìchǎng 。jiē xiàlái wǒmen yǒu hěn duō jùtǐ de gōngzuò yào zuò ，dànshì zuì zhòngyào de shì gèwèi tóngshì yīqǐ nǔlì 。wǒmen yīqǐ jiāyóu ！nǐ juéde zěnmeyàng ？
''Hello everyone. Today I'm going to explain our new sales plan to everybody. This year, our main focus is on opening new markets. Next, we have a lot of concrete work to do, but the most important thing is for everyone to work hard together. Let's go for it!" What do you think?
不错。但是你太严肃了。你要拉近和听众的距离。
bùcuò 。dànshì nǐ tài yánsù le 。nǐ yào lājìn hé tīngzhòng de jùlí 。
Good. But you're too serious. You need to reduce the distance between you and your listeners.
噢。那我再来一遍。大家好，今天由我来给大家介绍新的销售计划，我感到非常荣幸。今年我们的重点是打开新市场。接下来我们有很多具体的工作要做，但是最重要的是各位同事一起努力。我们一起加油！
ō 。nà wǒ zài lái yī biàn 。dàjiā hǎo ，jīntiān yóu wǒ lái gěi dàjiā jièshào xīn de xiāoshòu jìhuà ，wǒ gǎndào fēicháng róngxìng 。jīnnián wǒmen de zhòngdiǎn shì dǎkāi xīn shìchǎng 。jiē xiàlái wǒmen yǒu hěn duō jùtǐ de gōngzuò yào zuò ，dànshì zuì zhòngyào de shì gèwèi tóngshì yīqǐ nǔlì 。wǒmen yīqǐ jiāyóu ！
Oh. Then I'll try it again. ''Hello everyone. Today I'm going to explain our new sales plan to everybody. I feel very honored. This year, our focus is on opening new markets. Next, we have a lot of concrete work to do, but the most important thing is for everyone to work hard together. Let's go for it!"
嗯，比刚才好多了。不过重点的地方，语气可以再强一点。比如“新的销售计划”、“各位同事一起努力”。
ng4 ，bǐ gāngcái hǎo duō le 。bùguò zhòngdiǎn de dìfang ，yǔqì kěyǐ zài qiáng yīdiǎn 。bǐrú “xīn de xiāoshòu jìhuà ”、“gèwèi tóngshì yīqǐ nǔlì ”。
Hmm. Much better than the last time. But at key points, your tone can be a little more emphatic. For example, ''the new sales plan," ''everyone working hard together."
