 最近再做一系列的英文小教室，每天都會po文，還沒追蹤粉絲團的趕快追蹤唷 

喔喔～～看了一部好精采的電影，Jessica Tristan 在攻敵必救裡面飾演一位為了達到自己理想而不折手段的厲害女人

但看到最後也不覺得 Sloane 真的如此的不近人情或是沒血沒淚，只是覺得為了做自己認為該做的事而有所犧牲罷了

電影一開頭說了以下這段話，而電影出現三次這段台詞，都是在關鍵的時候出現

Elizabeth Sloane: 

Lobbying is about foresight, about anticipating your opponent’s moves and devising countermeasures.

「遊說的重點在洞察先機，預測對手招數然後設計對策」

The winner plots one step ahead of the opposition and plays her trump card just after they play theirs.

「贏家永遠比對手快一步，當對方一掀底牌就亮出王牌」

It’s about making sure you surprise them, and they don’t surprise you.

「要確定能乘其不備，而且對方無法反擊」

自己為了抄筆記看了兩遍！才發現第一次看的時候忽略好多細節
