Narrator: 上周 Anna 得到了 Tip Top 貿易公司的銷售專員職位。這還得歸功于 Anna 面對緊急情況頭腦清楚，反應快，處理問題得當。今天是她上班的第一天。How are you feeling now, Anna?

Anna: Excited, but a bit worried. I really want to make a good first impression.

Narrator: 沒事兒，我教你幾句和別人初次見面時常用的一些表達，比如：

你好，我們好像以前沒見過面。Hello, I don't think we've met.

你一定是 Tom. You must be Tom.

我剛加入公司。I've just joined the team.

很高興認識你。Nice to meet you.

你在這兒工作有一些年頭了吧？Have you worked here long?

你看公司的銷售經理 Tom Darcy 就在那邊，你快去打個招呼吧。

Tom: (On the phone) Yah, no, yah, yah, yah, OK. I'll seal the deal, yah, no worries. Yah, alright, see ya mate, bye. (Hangs up)

Anna: Hello, I don't think we've met.

Tom: No.

Anna: You must be Tom. I'm Anna. I've just joined the team.

Tom: Uh huh.

Anna: Nice to meet you. Have you worked here long?

Tom: Sorry, I'm quite busy right now – I've got a big deal just coming through. But let's get together sometime. Um... can you do lunch tomorrow?

Anna: You want me to do lunch? Well, I'm not very -

(Telephone rings)

Tom: Sorry, important client. Lunch tomorrow at 12.30 then?

(On the phone) Tom speaking. Yah! Frankie! So what's the latest, are we on?

Anna: Well, OK then.

Narrator: 真棒！Anna, 你用了些挺好的表達來介紹你自己。遺憾的是 Tom 好像對你有點兒愛搭不理的。

Anna: I'm sure he's just busy. But I'm a bit worried about tomorrow!

(The next day…)

Anna: (Struggling into the office carrying cooking implements) Good morning Paul!

Paul: Good morning Anna, are you OK?

Anna: Fine, the kitchen's through there, isn't it?

Paul: Er, yes.

(Kitchen noises as Anna starts preparing lunch)

Denise: Anna!

Anna: Oh hi, Denise!

Denise: What are you doing?

Anna: Cooking lunch for Tom.

Denise: You what?

Anna: Tom asked me to have lunch ready for 12.30.

Denise: Did he indeed?

Tom: Er, Anna.

Anna: Hi Tom!

Tom: What are you doing?

Anna: Spring rolls, followed by crispy duck in black bean sauce.

Tom: No, I mean, why are you cooking?

Anna: Well, if I don't start now, it won't be ready for you by 12.30.

Tom: Oh, you misunderstood me, Anna. When I said "Can you do lunch?" it didn't mean "Can you make lunch?" It meant "Are you available to come to lunch with me?" In a cafe or something.

Anna: Oh!

Paul: Mmm... something smells good, but what's going on here?

Denise: Anna thinks it's her job to cook for people!

Anna: No, no, I misunderstood!

Tom: Anna just got a bit confused.

Paul: Well, never mind, it looks tasty.

Anna: There's enough for everyone if you want some.

Paul: I think that's a splendid idea, we can have an office picnic!

Anna: Yes!

Paul: Mmm, that sauce looks delicious.

Anna: Yes, it's my favourite.

Narrator: 看來 Anna 今天這個頭兒還開的不錯。讓我們一起回顧一下她剛才用到的一些表達：

Hello, I don't think we've met.

You must be Tom.

I've just joined the team.

Nice to meet you.

Have you worked here long?

Narrator: 記住如果有人對你說 "Would you like to do lunch?" 意思可不是說讓你給他們做午餐。這句話的實際意思是我們一起吃個午飯吧。

好了，下次節目再會。

聽力挑戰：

Tom 在 Tip Top Trading 公司的的職稱是什么?

上期答案：

為什么記憶棒是濕的？

Because it had been in Paul's tea. 因為它掉到 Paul 的茶杯里了。
