But I think you'd probably use "disappointed" more generally and I think "disappointed" is more of an unfocused dissatisfaction. "Dismayed" is probably when you are more deeply or more strongly unhappy about a situation.be disappointed=unhappy because something you hoped for did not happen, or because someone or something was not as good as you expected:Reckon I said something to hurt your feelings, didn't I?"Reckon" tends to be used more in country areas or in the South. And for people who don't use it all the time, it tends to bring a feeling of the good warm things from the country.

実践ビジネス英語☆8/27 adage
テレビ会議システム、ここ数年は想像したほど伸びず状態だったらしいですが、新世代のものは、どんどん素晴らしいものに、発展しているようです。お気楽主婦の私にはどうせ関係ないけど、新しいもの好きなんで、ちょっと興味はあります。Videoconferencing vs.Traveling(4)As the cost of the newest videoconferencing equipment comes down, the team says they expect to be using it more often to save time.at this point in time [ ちょうど今、現時点ではshake handsIt's traditional to "shake hands" when you close a business deal in the U.S. anyway. It's a sign of your honesty and integrity. You can even say, "Let's shake on it" to mean "Let's close the deal."cut corners [ (経費・時間などを)節約する=to save time, money, or energy by doing things quickly and not as carefully as you should:To "cut corners" is to find the quickest, easiest or cheapest way to do something. In this case, Tyson is using it in a rather neutral form. It's often used negatively when you really shouldn't have used the quickest, cheapest or easiest way.timewise [ 時間に関してadage [ ことわざ、格言=a well-known phrase that says something wise about human experience [= proverb]:the colock tickes [ 時計がカチカチいうcome onto the market [ 市場に出る、市販される=available for people to buymeantime [ (副詞）さて、話が変わるが、ところで口語で使われる、副詞としてはmeanwhileを多用out of this world [ この世のものとは思えないくらい、とびきり素晴らしいThe phrase "out of this world" describes things that are surprisingly new or wonderful or extraordinary.three-dimensional imaging system [ 立体画像システムhurdle [ 障害、困難=a problem or difficulty that you must deal with before you can achieve something [= obstacle]:overcome/clear/get over etc a hurdle(=deal successfully with a problem)"Hurdle" as a verb can mean "rush forward," I guess in the same way that you rush forward to jump over hurdles." To hurdle" means to go rapidly, head forward uickly without paying attention to obstacles.In this sentence, "hurdle" is a noun, however. There are similar words you can use with the same meaning. You could say that a cost is an "impediment" to growth. You could say it's a "barrier" to growth or even an "obstacle" to growth.impediment [ 障害、妨害するもの=a situation or event that makes it difficult or impossible for someone or something to succeed or make progressDaily QuizadageThere's some other similar words. You could have said it's a "saying" or a "proverb." "Adage," "saying" and "proverb" are pretty much the same things. Another similar word is "saw." But "saw" is used when the phrase has been used so much, it's become trite.saw [ ことわざ=a short, familiar phrase or sentence that is considered to contain some truth about life＊saw 「のこぎり」のほかに「ことわざ」という意味がありました。say, sagaと同語源＊＊＊日本語訳が隣に書いてある場合[ のマークを入れています。 日本語訳を見る場合はドラッグして色を反転すると見れます。＊＊＊＜訳は英辞郎およびLDOCE(LongmanDictionary of Contemporary English)など、またディクテーションはメルマガの「NHKビジネス英語を120%利用」から引用・参考にしています＞
