# 英语会议沟通：项目延期 & 追加预算 表达方案

一、项目延期两周（Delay Announcement）

核心句型（由浅入深）：

• 开场铺垫：I'd like to give you a heads-up on the project timeline.（先给个预告，缓冲情绪）
• 正面说明：Due to [具体原因，如 supply chain issues / resource constraints], the project will be delayed by two weeks. The new completion date will be [日期].
• 强调影响可控：This adjustment won't affect the overall deliverables or quality.
• 给出补救动作：We've reallocated resources to minimize further delays.

注意要点：

• 延期必须带 原因 + 新时间点 + 补救措施 三件套，只说延期会显得不专业
• 避免 "Maybe we'll be late"，用明确表述 "delayed by two weeks"

二、追加预算（Budget Request）

核心句型：

• 引出话题：There's another important matter I need to discuss — the budget.
• 说明需求：We're requesting an additional budget of [区间金额，如 mid-five-figure range] to cover [具体用途，如 additional testing / extra personnel].
• 说明合理性：This investment will prevent more costly issues down the line. / It's essential to ensure on-time delivery.
• 请求决策：Could we schedule a follow-up discussion to review the details?

注意要点：

• 不要一开口就谈钱，先用项目价值铺垫
• 金额用区间或 "roughly / approximately" 修饰，避免报价过早被锁死
• 主动提出 follow-up meeting，避免当场被逼表态

三、应对客户追问的句式

• 被质疑时：That's a fair point. Let me walk you through our reasoning.（先认可再解释，忌直接反驳）
• 客户不满时：I understand your concern. Here's what we can do to make it right.
• 需要时间考虑：Let me confirm the details with my team and get back to you by [时间].

四、40分钟会议时间分配建议

• 开场寒暄+议程确认：5分钟
• 项目进展汇报：10分钟
• 延期说明+讨论：10分钟
• 预算请求+讨论：10分钟
• 总结行动项（action items）+确认下次沟通：5分钟

临场建议：会前把以上句型各朗读5遍并录音自查；会议全程用 "Let me make sure I understood correctly..." 复述确认，避免因语速或口音造成误解。
