内容简介

语言交流是沟通中重要的一部分，但单词 “say” 的含义远比 “说” 要丰富。“Say” 可以表示 “说明，表明”，比如， “say a lot about someone” 的意思是 “足以反映出某人的本质”；当 “say” 作名词时，还可以指 “话语权，表达意见的机会”，比如， “have your say” 的意思就是 “发表你的意见”。看视频，跟主持人 Phil 学习四个包含单词 “say” 的短语。

2. “have your say” 发表你的意见

• I want to give everyone a chance to have their say at the end of the meeting.
