You: We should clarify which pages are essential for the first release.
2 · 理解表达在这里做了什么
clarify
make the meaning clear
Could you clarify the delivery date?
clarify 针对意思、事实或要求；请求澄清不等于反对对方，也不一定要求对方改变决定。raise a concern
say what might cause a problem
I would like to raise a concern about testing time.
顾虑要联系具体影响，raise a concern 不等于已经证明方案失败。action item
a task agreed in a meeting
Our action item is for Leo to confirm the test schedule by tomorrow.
