A The company is selecting three employees to attend the marketing seminar next month. Did you put your name in for it?
公司准备挑选3名员工继续参加这个月举行的一个市场销售研讨会.你报名了吗?
B No, I don't really care too much for seminars…I find them to be either boring ot useless. I mean, how much can you really learn in one afternoon?
没有,我实在对研讨会没有大多的兴趣…我觉得研讨会不是没意思就是没有用.我的意思是,一个下午的时间你能真正学到多少东西?
A It's not just about the things that you learn, you know...seminars are a really great opportunity to mingle and network with professionals in our industry from all over the nation. You can learn a few things, but more importantly, you rub shoulders with the business leaders and make contacts that could lead to potential sales or patnerships in the future. The social mixers are always more important than the seminars anyway.
你知道,这不仅是你学东西的问题…研讨会真的是个很好的机会,能结交,联络全国各地我们本行业的专业人士.你能学到不少东西,而更重要的是你能接触那些企业领导,而且能建立联系,而这些在将来很可能会有助于打开产品销路或建立合作关系.不管怎样,联谊会总比研讨会更重要.
B I'm still not too jazzed about going…I feel kind of awkward in those cocktail party situations.
我还是对参加会议不感兴趣…我觉得在那些鸡尾酒会的场合里有点儿不舒服.
A Well, what if I told you the seminar is going to be held in Hawaii? Does that perk your interest?
好了,那如果我告诉你研讨会要在夏威夷召开,你会怎么看?这会让你打起精神吗?
B Now you're talking.
你这算是说对了!
