轻松日记商务职场篇 第140期:顺利进行

核心句型：
I hope our cooperation does without a hitch.
我希望我们的合作能顺利进行。
without a hitch直译过来就是：“没有任何故障”，这个短语的正确意思是：“顺利进行，做事一帆风顺地”。因此，当美国人说"I hope our cooperation does without a hitch."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"I hope our cooperation will go smoothly."、"I hope everything is favorable in our cooperation."。
情景对白：
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：我会把你那个关于新项目的想法转告我们老板。期待与你进一步的洽谈。
Client: Thank you. I hope our cooperation does without a hitch.
