        为了教英语，Neil 订了火车票和菲菲一起出差。不过因为座位的方向，菲菲受了不少苦。菲菲请Neil 注意，将来别订反方向的座位了。
        Neil
        Hello, I’m Neil and welcome to Authentic Real English, which this week comes from a train.
        Feifei
        Hi I'm Feifei. 是的，为了更好地给大家讲解本期节目要学习的表达，我和Neil 坐上了火车。This English expression has become very common - particularly in a work environment.
        Neil
        I love trains, Feifei – racing through the countryside, looking out of the window. Ah, it's great – you can't beat it! Oh – are you OK, Feifei? You look a bit… green.
        Feifei
        Well it's OK for you, Neil, but I've got the backward-facing seat. It makes me feel sick. Going forward, can you avoid booking me the backward-facing seat?
        Neil
        Of course! Going forward I'll get you a forward-facing seat.
        Feifei
        (sounding sick) 'Going forward' is another way of saying 'in the future'.
        Neil
        That's right. You'll hear 'going forward' used at business meetings when a person wants someone to change the way they do something in the future.
        Feifei
        在工作环境中，比如在开会时，一个人让他的同事在未来工作中做出改变时就会用到going forward 这个表达。咱们来听例句。
        Examples
        A: Did you get the files I emailed over?
        B: Yes I did, but going forward can you send hard copies in the post? We need them for our records.
        Boss: I've noticed you chatting on your mobile quite a lot during the working day. Going forward, can you keep the private conversations to your lunch breaks?
        A: Going forward we will only have an online version of our newspaper. The days of print are dead.
        Feifei
        以上我们听到的都是人们在工作环境中使用going forward 的例句。在这些语境中，going forward 所表达的意思是“从现在开始，今后、将来”。
        Neil
        I quite like doing Authentic Real English recordings from the train. Going forward, shall we record all our programmes from vehicles?
        Feifei
        Hmm, not sure about that. I get terrible travel sickness.
        Neil
        Well, going forward, I recommend you take these pills (hands bottle of pills over).
        Feifei
        Urgh…
        Neil
        Goodbye!
        Feifei
        Bye!
