商務英語口語對話:工作午餐

A: Excuse me, Don? I hate to bother you, but I need your help on something. Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today?

B: Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow. I know there are some things I need to share with you about that. But, gosh, I don't know.... Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break....

A: I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are....

B: It's okay.... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch....

A: How about this.... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery. It'll be my treat.

B: You don't have to do that....

A: I insist. I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in. What is your favorite fast food? I'll cater to your taste.

B: Actually I do like Chinese.... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about 12:30. Does that sound good?

A: Great. I'll bring the food.
A：對不起，堂，我不想打擾你，可是有些事我還需要你幫忙。你今天有時間給我簡單介紹一下馬丁報告的情況嗎?
B：噢，沒問題。明天你就要介紹那個報告的情況了。我知道這件事我有很多地方需要和你溝通，但是，唉，我不知道……今天我真是非常忙，我唯一能設法擠出的時間可能是在午休時間……
A：你那麼忙，我可不願意讓你在午休時還工作。
B：沒關係……我已經連續好幾天都是邊吃午飯邊工作了。
A：你看這樣可以嗎……我們今天下午安排一個工作餐，我去訂一些中餐外賣。我請客。
B：你沒必要這麼做……
A：我一定要這麼辦。你能抽時間幫我，我真的很感激。你最喜歡吃什麼樣的快餐?我會滿足 你的口味。
B：說實話，我確實喜歡吃中餐……那我們就定在12：30一邊吃炒雜碎，一邊討論馬丁的報告。這樣安排不錯吧?
A：太棒了，我去弄吃的。
