旅遊出差: Souvenir Shopping (1) (音頻文字）ZT
公司副總裁Jason到上海，由Gina接待。
Jason: Hello Gina! We've spoken so many times on the phone but's it's so good to finally meet you in person!
G: Hello sir. Good to meet you, too.
J: Oh, please don't call me "sir." Just call me Jason.
G: Ok, Jason. So how was the flight?
J: Pretty good. There was a bit of turbulence while we were over the Pacific Ocean but it wasn't too bad. The worst thing was the guy behind me. He snored all through the night!
G: Really? But you were in first class! Nobody woke that guy up?
Jason和Gina以前隻在電話上溝通過，Jason說，it's so good to finally meet you in person, 見到你本人很高興。寒暄過後，Gina問Jason路上是否順利，Jason說，飛機在太平洋上空遇到氣流有些顛簸，turbulence is spelled t-u-r-b-u-l-e-n-c-e, turbulence，是氣流的意思。但最糟糕的是，坐在Jason後麵的人打了一夜呼嚕。
J: The stewardess said it's not company policy to wake people up for any reason.
G: That's terrible! So you didn't get any sleep?
J: Not much...but that's ok...I'm a night owl anyway.
G: So, aside from visiting our factory and offices, are there any other things you want to accomplish while you're in China?
J: I'd love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall.
G: That's not a problem. We can have a company car take you there. It's only about a two hour drive.
空服拒絕把打呼嚕的人叫醒，因為it's not company policy，不符合公司規定。Jason說，自己反正是a night owl， 夜貓子，所以問題不大。除了視察工作外，Jason說還想抽時間去爬長城，I'd love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall. Gina說，長城不遠，隻要兩小時車程，所以沒問題。
J: Also...I'd like to do some shopping while I'm here.
G: Well, you've come to the right place! China is a shopping paradise. Name it - we've got it.
J: To be honest, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. But I need gifts for my wife, kids and I should bring something back for the senior partners of my firm as well.
G: Hum...I'd recommend silk for your wife. Maybe a bathrobe or perhaps a shawl. Silk dresses and shirts are good, too.
J: Yeah...that sounds good. But my wife is picky so I'll need your help to choose the right one. It should be classy and not too flashy.
G: I think I know just the store to visit. Leave it to me.
除了觀光，Jason還想購物，給太太、孩子和公司合夥人買禮物。Gina建議Jason給太太買絲綢製品。Jason說太太很 picky，picky is spelled p-i-c-k-y, picky，picky，是挑剔的意思，衣服要典雅classy, 不能過於招搖，flashy. Gina說，leave it to me，包在我身上。
