詢問和確認
A: Excuse me. Are you Mr. Rex Smith?
對不起，您是勒克斯·史密斯先生嗎？
B: Yes, I am. And are you Mr. Li?
我就是。您是李先生吧？
A: No sir, I'm not. I'm Liu Hua, sales manager at ABC Trading. Mr. Li asked me to come and meet you, because he was expectedly tied up this morning. He is very eager to meet you, and sends his warmest regards.
不，我不是。我是劉華，ABC貿易公司的銷售經理。李先生要我來接您，因為他今早突然有事無法分身。他非常想見您，要我代他向您致意。
B: I see. Well, it's very nice to meet you, Liu Hua. And please, feel free to call me Rex. I'm not big on formalities.
原來如此。很高興認識你，劉華。叫我勒克斯就可以了，我不喜歡拘泥于禮節。
A: That would be my pleasure. Can I help you with your bags? We're got a limo waiting outside.
這是我的榮幸。我來幫你拿箱子吧？我們弄了一輛豪華轎車在外恭候。
B: A limo? I see you're trying to butter me up!
豪華轎車？我看你們是想討好我吧！
A: I hope you have a pleasant flight over, Rex. I've traveled the trans-Pacific routes before, and I know tiring they can be.
勒克斯，我希望你此次來訪旅途愉快，我以前也做過橫渡太平洋的航班，我知道那有多累。
B: This one was unevenful, except for a little turbulence here and there. In fact, I feel as crisp as a new dollar bill.
除了不時有氣流不穩之外，一路都很順利。說真的，我覺得自己還是很有精神的。
A: Glad to hear it. Would you like an informal dinner with us tonight? Mr. Li asked me to inquire.
很高興聽你這么說。你愿意今晚和我們一起吃頓便飯嗎？李先生要問我一聲。
B: It's very nice of him, but truthfully I'd rather just spend a quiet evening in the hotel getting ready for tomorrow's appointment. Mr. Li won't mind?
他太客氣了。不過我想靜靜地在飯店休息一晚，準備明天的會議。李先生不會介意吧？
A: Not at all. He expected you'd want a little rest first. Just to confirm—you know that tomorrow's meeting is set for 10a.m., at our office? I'll pick you up at the hotel at 9:15.
當然不會，他想到你可能需要稍作休息。跟你確認一下，你知道明天的會議是早上10點在我們辦公室舉行吧？我會在9:15到飯店接你。
B: That'll be fine. Liu Hua, thank you so much.
好的，劉華，謝謝你。
A: It's my pleasure. By the way, are there any sights you'd like to see while you're here? I'd be happy to show you around.
別客氣。對了，在這段時間，你是否想去參觀一些地方？我可以帶你四處逛逛。
B: Well, I have instructions not to mix pleasure with business on this trip. But could we see international Trade Center, and Zhong guancun Science&Technology Park?
嗯……老板指示我這次不能假借公事四處游玩。不過，我們可以到國貿中心與中關村科技園區看看嗎？
A: That's no problem. I'll set up appointments for later this week.
沒問題，這周晚些時候我會安排。
B: Thank you very much.
多謝。
