内容简介
语言交流是沟通中重要的一部分，但单词 “say” 的含义远比 “说” 要丰富。“Say” 可以表示 “说明，表明”，比如， “say a lot about someone” 的意思是 “足以反映出某人的本质”；当 “say” 作名词时，还可以指 “话语权，表达意见的机会”，比如， “have your say” 的意思就是 “发表你的意见”。看视频，跟主持人 Phil 学习四个包含单词 “say” 的短语。
用法总结
1. “say a lot about someone” 足以反映出某人的本质

2. “have your say” 发表你的意见
- I want to give everyone a chance to have their say at the end of the meeting.
- Your daughter just wants to have her say on where to go for holiday, it’s not unfair.
3. “have a lot to say for yourself” 有很多话说（常用于讽刺他人意见太多），自吹自擂
- That new manager has got a lot to say for himself, but I don’t think his ideas are that good.
- Obviously, you have a lot to say for yourself. Would you like to come up here and share your thoughts with the group?
4. “to say the least” 至少可以说，毫不夸张地说
