    第十二課: 商務(wù)會(huì)談
    Lesson 12: A meeting
    各位聽(tīng)眾朋友好,歡迎您收聽(tīng)由澳大利亞的澳洲廣播電臺(tái)和維多利亞州 多元文化成人教育中心AMES共同為您編播制作的《商業(yè)英語(yǔ)教程》節(jié)目。我是澳廣中文部的節(jié)目主持人馬健媛。 在上一課中我們學(xué)習(xí)了如何主持會(huì)議,如何禮貌地打斷他人的講話,以及在別人打斷您的講話時(shí)應(yīng)該如何應(yīng)對(duì)。在今天的這一課中,我們要繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)同一段對(duì)話的下半部分,這部份的主要內(nèi)容是怎樣客氣地表達(dá)相同意見(jiàn)或不同意見(jiàn)。同時(shí)我們還要繼續(xù)從道格拉斯那里學(xué)習(xí)主持會(huì)議的秘訣。
    以上就是我們這一課要學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容,不過(guò)在學(xué)習(xí)新的課文之前,還是讓我們一起來(lái)復(fù)習(xí)一下上一課我們學(xué)過(guò)的內(nèi)容吧。請(qǐng)聽(tīng)錄音。
    Harvey: It’s Mrs Lee, Lian, who’s pushing to extend their distribution to Australia…
    Victoria: Lok Lee just wants a holiday.
    Douglas: Thanks, Victoria… Let’s hear Harvey out first.
    Harvey: Their main purpose doesn’t seem to be for financial gain. Lian wants to expand to give her children more responsibility. She said they’re all ambitious and the business is too small for them as it is.
    Douglas: So you’re saying that it’s family rather than money, that’s their main concern?
    Harvey: It would seem so, primarily.
    Douglas: Victoria, you have something to add?
    Victoria: Yes. It’s their youngest son that Lian’s really worried about. He clashes with his older brother and he’s threatening to leave the estate for good.. Lian feels that if they go international, she’ll be giving him a chance to travel and keep him within the company…
    Douglas: You’ve really done your homework, Victoria.
    Victoria: Thank you, Douglas. I did some research on the weekend.
    以上就是我們已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)的內(nèi)容了?,F(xiàn)在讓我們一起開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)這段對(duì)話的其余部份。請(qǐng)注意,這個(gè)由道格拉斯主持的會(huì)議現(xiàn)在還在進(jìn)行當(dāng)中,不過(guò)道格拉斯覺(jué)得現(xiàn)在是結(jié)束這個(gè)會(huì)議的時(shí)候了。
    Douglas: We’re running a little over time. Can we move on? Harvey, what would be the best approach?
    道格拉斯: 我們的會(huì)議已經(jīng)有些超過(guò)預(yù)定時(shí)間了。請(qǐng)抓緊點(diǎn)時(shí)間。哈維請(qǐng)給我們介紹好的展示方案。
    Harvey: Well, they’ll want to know how we’ll present their product. There’s not enough time to produce an advertising layout, so we’ve decided to show them what we did with Suki Tofu. Victoria and I have worked on an outline of how the presentation should go.
    哈維: 好吧。他們兩位希望了解我們會(huì)怎樣展示他們的產(chǎn)品。現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間來(lái)制作一個(gè)廣告的模板了,所以我們決定請(qǐng)他們看看我們?yōu)椤八叵捕垢彼龅耐茝V。維多利亞和我共同策劃了一個(gè)展示方案。 Victoria: There’s a copy for each of you.
    維多利亞: 這是給各位的復(fù)印件。
    Caroline: Thank you.
    卡羅琳: 謝謝。
    Caroline: So what equipment will you need for your presentation?
    卡羅琳: 那你們?cè)谡故緯r(shí)需要什么設(shè)備嗎?
    Victoria: A laptop of course and we’re going to use IT-FX. (spelt out: I-T-F-X)
    維多利亞: 一臺(tái)手提電腦是必須的了,另外我們還要使用ITFX。發(fā)音為: I T F X )
    Douglas: Hmmm… Do you mind if I ask - what’s IT-FX?
    道格拉斯: 呣,,,我可否問(wèn)一下什么是 I T F X?
    Harvey: It’s the latest visual software, it turns graphics into 3D, almost a hologram. Very impressive.
    哈維: 這是一種新的電腦展示軟件,它可以將圖表轉(zhuǎn)換成三維圖形,近似于全息圖,令人印象深刻。
    Douglas: Sounds good.
    道格拉斯: 聽(tīng)起來(lái)很不錯(cuò)。
    好,新的課文就先聽(tīng)到這里。在這部份的對(duì)話中,道格拉斯一開(kāi)始就提醒參加會(huì)議的人要注意時(shí)間。他是這么說(shuō)的。
    Douglas: We’re running a little over time. Can we move on?
    道格拉斯: 我們的會(huì)議已經(jīng)有些超過(guò)預(yù)定時(shí)間了。請(qǐng)抓緊點(diǎn)時(shí)間。
    除了道格拉斯使用的這個(gè)說(shuō)法之外,我們還可以用下列的句型表達(dá)類似的意思。
    We’re pretty short of time. Can we look at the next item?
    我們的時(shí)間很緊張,可否進(jìn)入到下一個(gè)議題?
    That’s fifteen minutes on this. Shall we move on?
    我們已經(jīng)對(duì)這個(gè)議題進(jìn)行了十五分鐘的討論,現(xiàn)在可以討論下一個(gè)議題嗎?
