商务谈判：工作午餐与商务旅行

　　Dialogue 1

　　A: Excuse me, Don? I hate to bother you, but I need your help on something. Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today?

　　B: Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow. I know there are some things I need to share with you about that. But, gosh, I don't know.... Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break....

　　A: I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are....

　　B: It's okay.... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch....

　　A: How about this.... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery. It'll be my treat.

　　B: You don't have to do that....

　　A: I insist. I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in. What is your favorite fast food? I'll cater to your taste.

　　B: Actually I do like Chinese.... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about 12:30. Does that sound good?

　　A: Great. I'll bring the food.

　　Dialogue 2

　　A: For our lunch meeting with the investors, do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant or do we just show up?

　　B: Usually for lunch, we don't have to reserve a table, they should allow walk-ins. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a table for half-past twelve. Will that suit your schedule?

　　A: I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve. Can you make the reservation a little earlier? If we start earlier, it will give us more time for a longer lunch.

　　B: Are you planning on treating the investors to a full-course meal?

　　A: Yes, we'll start with appetizers, follow with a soup and salad course, then main dishes of prime rib or cordon bleu chicken, and finish up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort.

　　B: That'll be pretty heavy for a mid-day meal, don't you think?

　　A: As along as we stay away from anything alcoholic, we should be okay.

　　B: With your prime rib and chicken choices, you'd better hope nobody's vegetarian.

　　A: We can make some special arrangement if we need to. After all, it's the company who is footing the bill.

　　2. International Business Travel国际商务旅行对话

　　Dialogue 1

　　A: I hear you're being sent to Madrid for the annual conference. Is that right?

　　B: Yes, it would be my first trip overseas. Actually, it's going to be my first time leaving the country.

　　A: Are you serious? You haven't even been anywhere on vacation?

　　B: No, I have never vacationed anywhere exotic. But even if I don't get a chance to travel on my personal time, at least I can travel on company time!

　　A: Well, being able to go to the conference sounds like such a great opportunity. Have you applied at the embassy for a visa yet?

　　B: Yes, it wasn't too hard to get. All I had to do was fill out the paperwork and pay the application fee.

　　A: You leave next Tuesday, right? What time is your flight?

　　B: My flight departs at 7 am. I have everything except for my luggage ready.

　　A: If your flight is leaving so early, I can take you to the airport and see you off. I'll still be able to make it into the office by 9.

　　B: That would be great! Thanks a lot!

　　Dialogue 2

　　A: How were things in the Tokyo branch when you were there?

　　B: Good! They have expanded and are doing better than they were last quarter. It's nice to see some improvement for a change.

　　A: Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months?

　　B: Yes, especially with so many of our executives going back and forth from here to Japan. The only problem is, they may have trouble when they go to open up business here.

　　A: Why would you say that?

　　B: They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan. There are a lot of cultural differences to account for.

　　A: I'll say! Sometimes they just do things really differently. But one thing I can say, they are really hospitable.

　　B: Have you ever been to Japan?

　　A: Sure! I just got back yesterday. I'm still suffering from jet lag.
