格林先生，請坐。
B: Thank you, Mr. Sun. Iam very sorry for coming late, but something urgent came up at the last minute.
謝謝孫先生。很抱歉我來晚了，但我臨走時突然有點急事。
A: That's all right. Let's get down to business. I was told that you have some comments to make about the registeration of our trademarks.
沒關系，我們談正事吧。我聽說貴公司對我們的商標注冊有異議。
B: Yes, I work in a law firm. I have been asked by the British trading company to come here and have a face-to-face consultation with you.
是的，我在法律事務所工作，這次是受英國貿易公司委托來跟您面談的。

歡迎。您是不是想和我談談我們申請商標注冊的問題？
B: Yes, you are applying to register the trademark of "Golden Dragon" for table lights, right?
是的，貴公司正在申請金龍牌臺燈，是嗎？
A: Yes, you are right.
對。
B: You may not know this, but the dragon represents an evil omen in our country. It's not appropriate to register the brand.
您也許不知道，龍在我國是不祥之物。采用這個牌子恐怕不合適。

哦，請原諒我們的疏忽。那您看來，我們該怎么辦？
B: I think it's better for you to change the brand name.
我認為你方最好改變名稱。

但是那樣的話，消費者就認不出我們的產品了。
B: Yes, it's a tough problem.
是啊，這個問題很難辦。
A: I'll hold a meeting to discuss this problem and find out a solution soon.
我立即召開會議，盡快找出解決辦法。
重點講解：
“get down to business”是“開始談正事”的意思；例如：We have to get down to business right now. （我們即刻開始談正事吧。）
“come up”是“突然出現，突然發生”的意思，例如：Something urgent has come up. （發生了緊急的事情。）
