轻松日记商务职场篇 第126期:集思广益

核心句型：
We have to stop arguing and brainstorm.
我们别再争论了，一起集思广益吧。
brainstorm是由美国创造学家A·F·奥斯本于1939年提出的，用以指一群人围绕一个特定的兴趣或领域，进行创新或改善，产生新点子，提出新办法，也就是：“集思广益”。因此，当美国人说"We have to stop arguing and brainstorm."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"We should stop debating and let's think together."、"We shouldn't argue with each other and it's time for us to discuss together."。
情景对白：
Benjamin: Hey, guys, we're all for the benefit of our company. So why do we keep arguing on this issue?
本杰明：嘿，伙计们，我们都是为了公司的利益。那么为什么要在这个问题上争论不休呢？
Boss: Yes. Benjamin is right. We have to stop arguing and brainstorm.
老板：是的，本杰明说得很对。我们别再争论了，一起集思广益吧。
