對話二
Lisa, Lisa! Over here, darling! It's wonderful to see you. Oh, Lisa, you look marvelous.
麗莎,麗莎,在這里,親愛的!見到你太好了。麗莎,你看起來真棒。
Oh, Paul, you look tired. Two months away in the capital? Paul, I think you've been working too hard.
保羅,你看起來很疲憊。兩個月都在首都嗎?保羅,我覺得你工作太辛苦了。
I'm fine. The city is very hot this time of the year. It's good to get back to some fresh air. You know, Lisa, what they say about pregnant women really is true.
我很好。那個城市的這個月份很熱,回來呼吸一些新鮮空氣真好。麗莎,他們說的關于懷孕女人的話是真的。
What's that Paul?
說什么了,保羅?
They say they look beautiful.
他們說她們很美。
Well, I had a lot of tension while you've been studying hard on your course in D.C.
好吧,當你在華盛頓努力學習你的課程的時候,我感到很緊張。
Oh?
是嗎?
Oh, don't worry, all from a man over 50. Father has told all his business friends the good news about the baby. And the phone hasn't stopped ringing.
別擔心,這都因為一個50多歲的男人。從我爸爸告訴他所有商業伙伴我懷孕的好消息后,電話就響個不停。
Oh, look, darling. There's a taxi.
看,親愛的。有一輛出租車。
Paul, tell me about the special project you mentioned on the phone. You sounded very excited about it!
保羅,跟我說說你在電話里提到的特別項目。你好像對它很感興趣。
You know, I've learned a lot from the project. I'm surprised that was still in business.
我從這個項目里學到了很多。我很驚訝它還能運營。
That's because we have a wonderful sales manager ——you!
那是因為我們有最棒的銷售經理——你!
Thanks. But that's not the problem at all. Lisa, our little company, and it is little compared to the giants in the city. Our little company's in danger. We are out of date. We need to expand. If we don't, we will be swallowed up by one of the giants.
謝謝。但那不是問題所在。麗莎,我們的小公司無法和城里的大企業抗衡。我們的小公司處于危險之中,我們過時了,我們需要擴張。如果不這么做,我們就會被某個大企業吞噬。
