商务英语——社交
全球跨国公司无数,许多白领也为此成了常常飞来飞去的“国际人”。与世界各地的商务人士交往,你不仅需要有聪明的头脑、100%的自信,还要充分了解各国的交往习惯哦。
Part II First Contact 首次接触
RECEPTIONIST: Miss Miguel. You can go up now. It´s the fifth floor.
MARIA: Thank you.
PETER: Yes, it looks good. I like the colors. Have we got enough time to promote it? That´s my worry. And do we have the price right?
PAULA: More input on the technical side would help.
PETER: That´s why I´m bringing Jens Foss over. Come in! (TO Maria) Oh, take a seat, will you? Shan´t be a moment. (to Paula) Do you know Jens Foss? He´s in our Copenhagen office.
PAULA: I´ve heard of him but I don´t think we´ve met. Anyway, I´d better leave you to it.
PETER: Let me have the draft schedule by three this afternoon.
PAULA: Yes, I´ll get onto it straight away.
PETER: And give me a ring if there are any problems.
PAULA: Will do!
PETER: (To Maria) Sorry to keep you. Have a seat.
MARIA: I hope you were expecting me. My name is Maria de Miguel.
PETER: Yes, I´ve got your details here somewhere.
前台:麦格女士。你可以上去了,在5楼。
麦格:谢谢。
彼得:哦,看起来不错。我喜欢这种颜色。推广时间够吗?我比较担心这个问题。还有,我们的定价合适吗?
波拉:若在技术方面多些投入会更好。
彼得:这正是我把颜斯·福斯也一起带来的原因。请进!(转向玛丽亚)噢,请坐,好吗?请等一下。(转向波拉)你认识颜斯·福斯吗?他在哥本哈根工作。
波拉:听人提起过他,但我们并没有见过面。不过,我还是先不打扰您了。
彼得:下午3点我要一份初步日程安排表。
波拉:好的,我马上去办。
彼得:若有什么问题给我打电话。
波拉:好!
彼得:(转向玛丽亚)让你久等了,请坐。
玛丽亚:我想你也正等着我的到来吧。我叫玛丽亚·麦格。
