Peter: Bob, I hate to break the news, but our sales were down again last month.

Bob: Down again, Peter?

Peter: Yeah. These days, everybody's shopping at our competition, Honest Abe's Furniture Store.

Bob: But everything in there costs an arm and a leg!

Peter: That's true. They do charge top dollar.

Bob: And their salespeople are very strange. They really give me the creeps!

Peter: Well, they must be doing something right over there. Meanwhile, we 're about to go belly-up.

Bob: I'm sorry to hear that. I thought my new advertising campaign would save the day.

Peter: Let's face it: your advertising campaign was a real flop.

Bob: Well then I'll go back to the drawing board.

Peter: It's too late for that. You're fired!

Bob: What? You're giving me the ax?

Peter: Yes. I've already found a new manager. She's as sharp as a tack.

Bob: Can't we even talk this over? After all, I've been working here for 10 years!

Peter: There's no point in arguing, Bob. I've already made up my mind.

Bob: Oh well, at lease I won't have to put up with your nonsense anymore! Good-bye to you and good-bye to this dead-end job.

Peter: Please leave before I lose my temper!

老金, 问个问题哈.

bob说的talk this over，但在类似情景下我常听到的talk this out。给讲讲两个说法有啥区别？

lamjin · 发表于 2011-12-1 03:26:25

在这种场景下 talk over 是 discuss “讨论，谈谈”的意思，是否说明白了，就不知道了。
而 talk out 是“把事情说清楚” 的意思。

比如 talk it up and talk it out. 就是把问题说出来，然后说清楚。

It just doesn't work. Maybe the oversea transmission failed.
