● 后果可想而知
1. The results (of the second option) are easy to foresee.
2. What will result with the second option is easy to predict.
3. What will happen with the second option is easy to tell.
4. What we'll end up with by using the second option is easy to tell.
"foresee"是‘预见;预料'。这句话是说‘某件事的结果可想而知'。此句型为半正式用法,习惯上多用于结果不乐观时。这句话虽然表示此案不可行,但并无贬低提案者的意思,因此较不易得罪人。
● 征询选择
1. Which option do you think is our best bet?
2. Which option do you feel is our safest course?
3. Which option do you believe is the best?
4. Which option do you suggest will be best in the long term?
"bet"原指‘打赌;赌注',在此比喻为‘最佳选择;最佳方案'。此句型适用于询问他人内心最中意的方案为何,不过其意并不仅限于圈选而已,还要求对方表示选择此案的原由。如果不想将发言局限于所提过的方案,还可在句尾加上"or is there another way",让对方有提出新方案的机会。
