商務(wù)英語(yǔ)播客第136課:Hosting a Dinner Party(1)
Have you ever had the good fortune to be invited to someone's home during a business trip? Perhaps it was a client or a prospective client. Maybe it was acolleague or potential business partner. And have you ever had the opportunity to have overseas visitors in your own home?
在出差的時(shí)候你有沒(méi)有過(guò)被邀請(qǐng)去朋友家做客的經(jīng)歷?也是他是一個(gè)客戶或者是一個(gè)潛在的客戶。也許他是一個(gè)同事或者一個(gè)潛在的商務(wù)合作伙伴，你有沒(méi)有一些海外探訪者來(lái)到你家做客的經(jīng)歷?
These are great chances to get to know the people you do business with. You are engagingwith people on a personal level and building better relationships. And it's important to do that right. The language you use, either as a host or a guest, requires great care.
這些都是你了解生意場(chǎng)上的朋友的絕好機(jī)會(huì)。你是以個(gè)人的角度和他們打交道，建立良好的關(guān)系。正確的交往對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)至關(guān)重要。在語(yǔ)言的使用，你或者站在一個(gè)客人的角度或者是一個(gè)主人的角度也是非常重要的。
In today's lesson, we're going to hear a conversation among four people. Grace and Lee are on a business trip to their company offices in California. During their trip, they have been invited to visit the home of a work colleague, Tanya. Tanya and her husband, Mark, are hosting a dinner for the two guests.
在今天的這一課中，我們將聽(tīng)到四個(gè)人之間的對(duì)話。葛瑞絲和李在去往加利福利亞州分公司辦公室的路上。在旅途中，他們被邀請(qǐng)到了一個(gè)同事，塔尼亞的家里做客。塔尼亞和她的丈夫，在家中招待兩位客人用餐。
This is a perfect situation to learn some important aspects of English. We'll look at how to make people comfortable, how to show interest in others, how to refuse offers politely, and how to show modesty. These are all essential skills when you sit down to dinner with colleagues or clients.
這是一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)表達(dá)重要性的絕佳場(chǎng)景。我們將聽(tīng)到如何使得氣氛更融洽，如何表現(xiàn)出想要了解對(duì)方，如何禮貌地拒絕請(qǐng)求，如何表現(xiàn)出謙虛。這些和同事或者客戶一起吃飯時(shí)應(yīng)該注意的地方都是很重要的。
