白領應急英語口語 奮鬥之路30 出差
常用應急場景
範例一：Changes in rule
I am going on a business trip to Guangzhou next Monday morning.
To visit our supplier?
Yes, as the New Year is coming, they’re organizing a party for all their customers.
Well, I guess you will meet many people in this field. So don’t forget to pack enough business cards in your suitcase.
Sure.
By the way, do you know that our company just made some changes in the business trip policy?
No, no one has informed me of that so far, tell me.
Ok, there is no cash advance anymore for short trips. You have to pay out of your own pocket, so save all the receipts from your business trip. And then attach them to your expense account. When you get back, our company will reimburse everything.
I see. What about the maximum purdy and rate, any change?
I am not sure. You can check with the finance department.
I will call them this afternoon, thanks.
You’re welcome. Have a nice trip.
範例二：Lousy business trip
Hi, Francis, how was your business trip?
It was a nightmare.
What’s up?
Actually, the business trip itself was very successful. We arrived on time, we had nice conversations and we settled some important issues for the next year.
Sounds quite fruitful, why do you call it still a nightmare then?
Well, the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge. I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam. When I finally got home, I was totally exhausted. But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout.
This is really a sad story. Did they trace back your luggage?
I am still waiting for their call.
Take it easy, all sufferings have their reward.30.出差

範例一：Changes in rule 規則的改變
I am going on a business trip to Guangzhou next Monday morning.
我下週一早上要去廣州出差。
To visit our supplier?
去拜訪我們的供應商嗎？
Yes, as the New Year is coming, they’re organizing a party for all their customers.
是的，新年就要到來的，他們爲所有的客戶組織了一個派對。
Well, I guess you will meet many people in this field. So don’t forget to pack enough business cards in your suitcase.
恩，我猜想你會遇到很多這個行業的人。所以記得把名片放進你的手提箱。
Sure. 一定。
By the way, do you know that our company just made some changes in the business trip policy?
順便問一下，你知不知道我們公司剛剛在出差政策上做了一些改變嗎？
No, no one has informed me of that so far, tell me.
不，目前爲止還沒有人通知我，告訴我吧。
Ok, there is no cash advance anymore for short trips. You have to pay out of your own pocket, so save all the receipts from your business trip. And then attach them to your expense account. When you get back, our company will reimburse everything.
好的，短期旅程再也沒有事先給現金了。你必須自己先墊付，所以你要保存出差時的所有單據。然後在上面附上你的花費賬目。你回來的時候，公司就會給你報銷。
I see. What about the maximum purdy and rate, any change?
我明白了。費用的最大上限是多少,有改變嗎?(Purdy此處有誤無法查證原詞.)
I am not sure. You can check with the finance department.
我不確定。你可以和財務部聯繫。
I will call them this afternoon, thanks.
下午我會打電話給他們，謝謝。
You’re welcome. Have a nice trip.
不客氣。旅途愉快。
範例二：Lousy business trip 糟糕的出差
Hi, Francis, how was your business trip?
Francis，你好，你出差的情況怎麼樣了？
It was a nightmare.
噩夢一個。
What’s up?
發生什麼事？
Actually, the business trip itself was very successful. We arrived on time, we had nice conversations and we settled some important issues for the next year.
事實上，這次的出差是非常成功的。我們準時到達，我們會話愉快，我們解決了明年的一些重要的問題。
Sounds quite fruitful, why do you call it still a nightmare then?
聽起來很成功，爲什麼你說仍然是個噩夢？
Well, the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge. I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam. When I finally got home, I was totally exhausted. But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout.
額，在返程班機上，航空公司把我的行李弄丟了，然後我在和主管人員談話時，我的手提包丟失了。我比預期的還要晚3個鐘頭離開機場，接着我遇到交通阻塞。當我最終到家時，我筋疲力盡了。但是我發現電梯由於斷電不能工作。
This is really a sad story. Did they trace back your luggage?
情況真是糟糕。他們找回你的行李了嗎？
I am still waiting for their call.
我仍然在等他們的電話。
Take it easy, all sufferings have their reward.
彆着急，會苦盡甘來的。
