如何輕松應對商務宴請 邀請
在商務交往過程中，參加各種正式或非正式的宴請是必不可少的。宴會的時間、地點、性質不同，自己需要做的準備也是不一樣的哦。
Version 1 情景1
PETER: That's been a tremendous help, Jens. Really helped clarify things. We'll ①get these proposals off to the agency, see what they have to say about it. Could you help with that, Maria?
MARIA: Certainly.
PETER: Paula will show you how. Now, I must rush. I've got another meeting.
JENS: (to Maria) Promotion!
PETER: Oh, my wife wondered if you'd both like to ②pop round one night this week. Shall we say tomorrow evening? Yes?
JENS: Yes...
PETER: (to Maria) Yes?
MARIA: Um... yes... tomorrow evening?
PETER: If that's all right with you. Right, I must rush. See you later.
MARIA: What does he mean, 'pop round'?
JENS: Probably tea. You know how the English love to 'pop round' for tea. I'm only joking. I suppose it means dinner.
MARIA: What time do you think?
JENS: I don't know. Eight o'clock? Looks like we've been honored. I wonder whether we should take a gift?
彼得: 顏斯，這對我們的幫助實在太大了，讓我們弄清楚了整件事情。把提案發給代理商吧，聽聽他們的意見。瑪麗亞，你能幫助我處理這件事嗎？
瑪麗亞: 可以。
彼得: 波拉會告訴你如何做的。現在，我必須得走了，我有另外一個會要參加。
顏斯: (對瑪麗亞說) 該提升你了吧！
彼得: 噢，我太太想知道大伙兒是否愿意本周來我家吃一頓晚餐。明天晚上，怎么樣？
顏斯: 好……
彼得: (對瑪麗亞說) 你呢？
瑪麗亞: 嗯……好……明天晚上?
彼得: 如果你這邊沒什么問題就行。好，我得趕快走了，一會兒見。
瑪麗亞: 他說什么？“pop round”是什么意思？
顏斯: 可能指的是茶吧。你知道英國人是很喜歡喝茶的。開玩笑的了。我覺得他指的是晚餐。
瑪麗亞: 幾點去合適?
顏斯: 我也不知道，8點？看來我們很榮幸哦。我們要不要帶著禮物去？
