輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第140期:順利進行

核心句型：
I hope our cooperation does without a hitch.

我希望我們的合作能順利進行。

without a hitch直譯過來就是：“沒有任何故障”，這個短語的正確意思是：“順利進行，做事一帆風(fēng)順地”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"I hope our cooperation does without a hitch."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"I hope our cooperation will go smoothly."、"I hope everything is favorable in our cooperation."。

情景對白：
Benjamin: I will pass on your idea about the new project to our boss. I'm looking forward to our further discussion.

本杰明：我會把你那個關(guān)于新項目的想法轉(zhuǎn)告我們老板。期待與你進一步的洽談。

Client: Thank you. I hope our cooperation does without a hitch.

客戶：謝謝你。我希望我們的合作能順利進行。
