芝华士英语口语第 7 课: A Business Call商业拜访

Miss Redner : Hello, Mr. Cooper. I'm Lina Redner, sales representative for Scarecrow Advertising Company. 你好，寇柏先生。我是丽娜·瑞德纳，稻草人广告公司的业务代表。

Mr. Cooper : I don't think we have an appointment. 我们没有先约好吧。

Miss Redner : No, we don't. You'll have to excuse me for this. 没有。这点还请您原谅。

Mr. Cooper : Since you are already here, what can I do for you? 既然你已经来了，不知有何贵干?

Miss Redner : Well, as far as I know, your company was founded three years ago and your business has been good for the past two years. 呃，就我所知，贵公司于三年前创立，而过去两年来，您的生意一直很好。

Mr. Cooper : I'm quite busy, Miss Redner. If you don't mind, just get straight to the point. 我很忙，瑞德纳小姐，如果你不介意的话，就有话直说吧。

Miss Redner : OK. I believe that you must have seen a lot of S.A.C. designed TV commercials and billboards, and if we cooperate, it'll certainly make your pro-ducts better known and sold. What do you think? 好的。我相信您一定看过由稻草人广告公司设计的电视广告和大型广告看板，如果我们能合作的话，一定能使您的产品更具知名度且销路更好。您认为呢?

Mr. Cooper : I'm quite satisfied with the company that designs our advertisements at present. 我对目前为我们设计广告的公司很满意。

Miss Redner : Don't say no for no's sake, please. Here are some samples of our designs. Have a look, if you please. 请别为了拒绝而拒绝。这儿有一些我们的设计样本。如果您乐意的话，请过目。

Mr. Cooper : All right....They're pretty good indeed, but .... 好吧。……的确是很不错，但是……

Miss Redner : The payment we ask for is very reasonable. Besides, you won't have the bondage of a contract. If you're not satisfied with us, we'll refund the money. But, of course, such a thing has never happened. We'll redo the commercial or billboard over and over again until you're satisfied. 我们的酬金相当合理。况且没有契约的束缚。如果您对我们不满意，我们还会把酬金退还给您。不过当然，这种事从来没发生过。我们会一再修改重做这些广告看板，直到您满意为止。

Mr. Cooer : There's no harm in giving it a try, I think. Leave your card. I'll call you when the next new product is ready to go on the market. 我想试试看是真没有害处的。把你的名片留下来吧，下一批产品准备好可以上市时，我会打电话给你。
