That is cascaded down to the bottom line
Hello everyone how's it going today, it's ATSU. Today I'm gonna introduce five phrases
that I think will make your English sound really smart. Whether or not you are
actually smart there must be a situation where you really want to sound smart
I don't think I'm really smart but I often use some techniques to sound a
little smarter than actually I am which is "word choice"
There are some phrases
that make you sound really smart even if you're not. I don't think
sounding smart is the most important thing in business but actually
sometimes it impacts the substance of the matter. For example it might change
the attitude of people you are speaking to
and thus it might increase your credibility as well so I believe to some
extent it's very important to know these phrases and be able to use those phrases
so today I'm gonna introduce five phrases that I think will make your
English smarter and further enhance the quality of relationship you have.
Let's check them out. The very first phrase is to do a deep dive into
something. To do a deep dive into. So this means to analyze. This is included in
Distinction I, by the way. And when you analyze the data you can just say, do a
deep dive into something. So for example, your CFO might say like I put
together all the data and did a deep dive into each set of data trying to analyze
the underlying cause of the movements and also better understand the pattern
behind it. He sounded very smart right? But actually what he means is he just
analyzed the data to understand the situation and identify the cause of it
That's it, but he sounded very smart. It's so different from just saying I
analyzed the data a lot of people use this phrase just to mean to analyze the
data because it sounds really smart. The next one is "leverage". So I think leverage
is a term that is very familiar to a lot of Japanese because this is one of the
technical terms that you use in the Forex trade or stock trading so leverage
actually means to use a power lever but many people use it to mean just to use
something. Of course you're not gonna say "Oh can I leverage this pen?" Of course you
can't say that but if you are utilizing something like for example
I just want to leverage what we did last year so we can avoid reinventing the
wheel. So in this kind of context, maybe from next time you could use leverage.
It's a good expression.The third one is "fundamental".
A lot of people love this word "fundamental". So fundamental basically
means just basic. For example somebody might say like "ah that's the fundamental
issue. That's pretty much the same as "Basically that's the issue". Easy right? But a
lot of people love using "fundamental" and you can use fundamental as a noun as
well. Like fundamentals. Maybe try using fundamentals from next time. You might
sound a bit smarter. The fourth one is "get exposure to". I hear this phrase like
every single day, and this is included in Distinction II. Get exposure means to
have an experience or to obtain an experience, like when you say I want to
get exposure to this type of work, it basically means I want to get some
experience in this type of work. So maybe from next time you can use "get
exposure to something", "expose yourself to something" For example you can say in
a formal situation like in my English studies, I always try to get exposure to
a variety of topics so I can expand vocabulary I can use in a daily
conversation. It sounds a bit smarter right? Last but not least "cascade down"
"Cascade" means a waterfall but here it's being used as a verb and it basically
means the past information from left to right, left to right, left to right...
In this kind of hierarchy, somebody at the top passes information to the next
layer, and it is cascaded down to the bottom line. So for example in a context
where certain information has to be passed through the layers, (you can say) "You just
need to tell Tim and it will cascade down from there" These are the five
phrases that I wanted to introduce to make your English sound a bit smarter
Remember these phrases won't make you smart just make you sound a bit smarter
