國際商展上，一位美國進口商正在和一位華籍業(yè)務員交談。
Salesman: Good morning. May I help you?
早上好。能為您效勞嗎?
Importer: I wonder if you can give me more information about this computer model you're showing?
你可以多給我-些你們正在展示的這種類型的電腦的資料嗎?
Salesman: I'd be glad to help. Would you like a packet of our promotional literature?
樂意為您服務。您要一份促銷文件嗎?
Importer: Thank you. I see your computer is fully IBM compatible.
謝謝。我發(fā)現(xiàn)你們的電腦可以和IBM完全相容。
Salesman: Yes, this model can run any software or DOS program an IBM personal computer can run.
沒錯。IBM個人電腦可執(zhí)行的軟件或DOS程序，這種類型的電腦都能執(zhí)行。
Importer: These models seem to be quite small.
這種機型似乎很小。
Salesman: Yes, one of the problems our company was trying to solve when we worked on this model was to do away with the bulk of IBM desktops and their clones. Our computer is only 11 pounds.
是的，我們開發(fā)這機型時要改善的一個問題就是IBM臺式機的笨重機體。我們的電腦只有十一磅重。
Importer: Remarkable! There's nothing quite like seeing a problem and solving it to create a good product. Are all the components made here in Taiwan?
很不錯！再沒什么比解決一個問題，然后創(chuàng)造出一套高質(zhì)量的新產(chǎn)品更好了。零件全都是臺灣制造的嗎?
Salesman: Yes, we do some subcontracting, but only in Taiwan. These computers are made here. May I ask what company you work for?
是的，我們也轉(zhuǎn)包，但都是臺灣的廠，這些電腦都是本地制造的。請問您在哪家公司?
Importer: I represent Reese Computer and Supply Company. We're a high-volume, discount mail-order house.
我是李斯電腦供應公司的代表，是大規(guī)模的折價郵購公司。
Salesman: Would you like to tour our factory and perhaps even one or two of our subcontractors?
您愿意參觀我們的工廠以及一兩家發(fā)包工廠嗎?
Importer: Yes, if it wouldn't take too long to arrange. I'm due to fly back to the States on Friday.
若不會花太多時間安排的話我很樂意。我預定星期五乘機回美國。
Salesman: I'm sure we can arrange it before then. How about meeting the founder of our company? Would you be interested in talking with him about our ideas for upcoming models?
我想可以在那之前可以安排好。您愿意和本公司的創(chuàng)辦人談談我們的新產(chǎn)品理念嗎?
Importer: Yes, I think that would be useful. Thank you for your help.
好，我想那會很有幫助的。謝謝您。
