Steve: Would you tell me what's going on? I'm dying of curiousity. 你能不能告诉我是怎么样的？我快惊奇死了

James: I met Mr. Barnes this morning and we had a very interesting talk about the Wang account. 今天早上我见过Barnes先生了， 我们谈到了王股东

Steve: What did he say? 他怎么说？

James: Well, first of all, you are looking at a new Executive Director in charge of the Wang account development team. 好，首先，你负责王股东发展小组的 新行政副董事

Steve: Are you serious? Congratulations James, you really deserve it. Wow! An executive position, I can't believe it. 你是不是严肃的？祝贺你，是你应得的。 噢，行政职位，我不能相信。

James: That's not all. Mr. Barnes thinks that what this account really needs is not only technical support but a new promotional strategy to emphasize the strengths of our software and Wang's operating systems. My new job is to put together and supervise team to continue technical development and support. In addition, as I just mentioned, the team will have to come up with a new and innovative marketing strategy for the product. 还没有完。 先生觉得这个生意不只需要技术支持 还需要新的发展策略来强调我们的软件 和王氏机构的实力。 我的新工作就是组织管理。 这个小组并继续技术的发展和支持 除此之外，就象我提到的， 这个小组将为我们的产品推出新颖的。 和创造性的市场策略

Steve: That all sounds great, James. I'm really happy for you. If I {had} been just a little more of a team player, perhaps Mr. Barnes would {of} promoted me to the team as well. I guess I really missed my chance yesterday. 那听起来都很不错，詹姆士 我真的为你而高兴。 如果我可能成为一个小组成员， 也许先生也会推荐我进小组。 我真的认为昨天我失去了机会。

James: Well, that is what I wanted to talk to you about over lunch today. Even though things didn't go that well for you yesterday, I understand why it happened. I know how much stress you {have} been under at work to bring in a big contract. 这就是在今天午饭时我要告诉你的。 虽然昨天事情没有进展的很顺利， 我明白为什么会发生。 我知道你为这个大合同工作有很大压力。
