2-1 机场迎宾
Greetings at the Airport
A: Excuse me, sir; is this Prof. Tallack from
London?
B: Yes, I’m George Tallack from the
School of Oriental and African Studies, University
of London.
You must be Miss Dai, if I’m not
mistaken.
A: Yes, I’m Dai Jiajia, manager of
Human Resources, the Haitong Group. I have been
expecting
you, Prof. Tallack.
B: Thank you
for coming to meet me at the airport. This is a
fantastic airport, absolutely one of the
top-
notch international airports.
A: I’m very glad
to have the pleasure of meeting you in my
hometown. This is indeed a first-class
international airport, as everybody says so.
You’re welcome. We’re very happy that you made it
in
spite of the tiring trip. We’re very
grateful that you took time from your busy
schedule and came
to Haitong to give us
advice.
B: I’ve long been expecting to learn
about the famous Haitong Group. I really
appreciate this
opportunity, which is also an
opportunity for me to learn about Chinese
enterprises at a close
distance.
A: How
was the trip? It must be very tiring, flying for
more than 10 hours.
B: Not too bad. But we
were later than expected. Our plane delayed taking
off as we ran into a
storm. We were held up
for several hours at the airport, waiting for the
storm to clear up. But we
had good flying
weather and we enjoyed a good attending service,
of course.
A: Well, you must be very tired
after the long trip, and you have to get over the
jet-lag. We have
got all the luggage, haven’t
we? Let’s drive directly to the hotel.
B: Yes,
I’m a bit tired. I’m very bad with a jet-lag. But
I’ll be all right in a couple of days.
A:
Good. We’ll take you to the hotel for a good rest.
You don’t have to get up early tomorrow.
Here’s the schedule for tomorrow. We’ll host a
reception lunch in your honor. And then you’ll
meet with Chairman of the Board in the
afternoon. We’ll take you to an acrobatic show in
the
evening, a typical Chinese acrobatic show.
How do you like that, k?
B: I like that. I’ve
heard Chinese people are very friendly and
hospitable. You’re very considerate,
Miss Dai.
I’ll soon be spoiled, I’m afraid.
A: I hope
you’ll have a pleasant stay here, and enjoy happy
collaboration with the Haitong Group.
I think
we’ve got everything. Our car is waiting outside.
Shall we go now?
B: Sure.
2-2 宾馆入住
Hotel Accommodation
A: Good afternoon.
Welcome to the Peace Hotel. May I help you, sir?
B: Yes, I’d like to check in, please.
A:
Certainly, sir. May I have your name, please? Do
you have a reservation with us, sir?
B: Yes,
it’s Robert King. I suppose somebody made the
reservation for me.
A: Just a moment, please.
I’ll check our reservation record…Oh, thank you
for waiting, sir. But
I’m afraid we have no
record of your reservation. Where was it made? Do
you have a
confirmation letter?
B: That’s
very strange. I made the reservation about 10 days
ago, through a travel agency at home.
But I
don’t have the confirmation letter with me. What I
have with me is a copy of the itinerary. Is
there any problem with the
accommodation for just two days?
A: Just a
minute, please. I’ll check vacancies. Very good, I
got it. We have a double room, and
there’s a
deluxe suite available. Which one do you prefer?
B: Thanks a lot. I prefer the double room. How
long can I keep it? And is it a regular rate with
no
extra charge?
A: Very good, sir. Will
you register here, please? No, there’s no extra
charge. Actually, you would
have a good rate
with 20% off on the last deluxe suite.
B: The
double room is fine. Is there any service that I
need to know?
A: Certainly, sir. May I know if
you have anything in particular?
B: Yes. I’d
like to have a 7 o’clock morning call, breakfast
sent up to my room, shirts and pants
laundered, some documents photocopied, an
express mail sent out, and something like that.
A: No problem. Just call our Front Desk,
Catering Service, Laundry Service, and Business
Center
accordingly. Or you may contact the
Floor Service Desk. Is there anything else I can
do for you?
B: Just one more thing- do you
have any place for fitness exercises? I go to the
gym and exercise
every day.
A: Yes, we
have a well-equipped fitness center, with coaches
available. We have many modern
fitness
facilities catering to the different needs of our
guests. We would be very pleased to make
their
stay enjoyable. I do hope you enjoy your stay
here. If you have any other requirements,
please let me know at anytime.
B: Very
good, thank you very much.
A: You’re welcome.
2-3 宴会招待
Banquet Service
A: Ladies and
gentlemen, good evening. It gives me a great
pleasure to host the banquet in honor
of our
dear friends and dedicated experts, and celebrate
the successful conclusion of our talks. In
particular, I’d like to thank d for her
coming. Without her last-minute effort, we would
still be in the middle of nowhere, probably in
the middle of negotiations, I’m afraid.
B:
Thank you, President Li. You all did very well. I
just contributed my share. We all maneuvered
successfully to get our job done, so to speak.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, are we carrying out
another round of talk over the dinner?
A:
No more business talks today. We’ve already put an
end to it. I propose we limit our talk to
friendship tonight. And of course, we’ll
delight ourselves completely in the foods that
Mother
Nature grants us.
B: That’s great,
the delicious Chinese food! I can’t wait to enjoy
your food. What are we expecting
tonight?
A: Tonight we have prepared a typical Shanghai
meal. I hope you will like it.
B: Yes, eat in
Shanghai as Shanghai people eat. But, to be frank,
I’ve heard of the famous
Cantonese food,
Sichuan food, Shandong food, but not that much of
Shanghai food. What’s
special about Shanghai
cuisine?
A: Shanghai cuisine, usually called
Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among the major
regional
cuisines in China, with a history of
more than 400 years. Like all other Chinese
regional cuisines,
Benbang cuisine
takes“color, aroma and taste” as its essential
quality elements. It emphasizes in
particular
the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw
materials with quality texture, and
original
flavors.
B: It sounds very appetizing.
A: I’d like to recommend a special snack known
as Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings and a
special dish called“ Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin
Fish”. Nanxinang Steamed Meat Dumplings are
small in size, with thin and translucent
wrappers, filled inside with ground pork and rich
tasty soup.
The Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish
is yellow-colored and squirrel-shaped, with a
crispy skin and
tender meat, all covered with
a sweet and sour sauce. They are absolutely
tasters’ choice. I bet you
will like them.
B: Oh, I suppose they are the perfect
combination of the three elements“color, aroma and
taste”.
Especially the Squirrel-Shaped
Mandarin Fish. I can’t figure out how the chef
makes the dish look
like a squirrel. Shall we
add “appearance” to your judgement criteria?
A: Absolutely right, plus “appearance”-that
makes the fourth element. Ok, here we are. Please
help yourself to the dishes.
B: The dinner
is so delicious. The dishes are complete with
color, aroma, taste and appearance.
Thank you
very much for your invitation and hospitality. I
hope I haven’t missed anything, have I?
A: I’m
very glad that you like the dishes. But this is
just the beginning of the dinner. We have
more
surprises to expect. Ladies and gentlemen, I
consider it a great honor to have you all here for
this wonderful time of the year. Let us drink
to the health of Ms. Kelland.
B: And toast to
the health of President Li and to the health of
everybody here. Cheers!
A: To our lasting
friendship and cooperation, cheers!
2-4 参观访问
Getting Around
A: Hello,
welcome to Jinghe High-Tech Park. I am Operation
Manager of the Park. I’m honored
to be your
guide and take you to tour around the Park. May I
know your major interests?
B: I’m interested
in the general layout of the Park. Would you
please give me some idea of its
setup?
A:
Very good. First of all, we’ll take a bird’s-eye
view of the Park. And then we’ll look around in
the Park and, to use a Chinese metaphor, we’ll
“cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on
horseback”.
B: Good idea, but we’ll cast a
passing glance at flowers while riding on your
car…in a more
comfortable manner.
A: I
really like your humor, sir. Now let me come back
to our story. Jinghe High-Tech Park enjoys
a
superior location, with the Capital Beijing as the
backdrop, facing the vast expanse of the Bo Sea,
bordered by the Jingjintang Expressway to the
east. It takes only 30 minutes to reach the
Capital’s
International Airport, 20 minutes to
get to the Beijing Railway Cargo Station, and an
hour to arrive
at the Tianjin New Harbor. The
Park is a national development project approved by
the State
Council. It is authorized to approve
projects with preferential policies, operating
under the
management system of international
standards.
B: When was it put to use? Who
fuelled its development?
A: The construction
of the Park was undertaken in two phases with the
first covering 588 acres
comprising 28
industrial lots as well as R&D, administrative and
support facilities. And the second
phase
covers an area of 525 acres with 22 industrial
lots. The Part went into its full operation in
2000, supported by the generous loans from 5
Chinese banks and 2 overseas banks.
B:
The Park is well planned and arranged in perfect
order.
A: Yes, it is. A golf course lies on
its east, the Moon River to its west, and a
kilometer-wide green
belt to its north. Inside
the Park, industries cluster in the east and
residences concentrate in the
west. In
–between you find the public service area.
B:
What do you do to attract direct foreign
investment?
A: The Park Administration takes
strong measures to improve the investment
environment, to
foster new competitive
advantages, and to make the Park an investment
paradise in North China
for hi-tech and new-
tech companies, multinationals, and large
enterprises of pillar industries. The
Park’s
two leading industries are information technology
and modern biotechnology.
B: Are there any
particular requirements that prospective foreign
enterprises must meet?
A: The target
industries must meet the Park’s selection
criteria. That is, they must strengthen
research and development functions, use
locally available technical resources and
materials,
develop suitable supporting
industries, and collaborate with universities and
public research
institutes. Multinational
companies from the United States, Japan, Korea,
Germany, the United
Kingdom, France, Italy,
Canada, Australia, Holland and Norway have settled
down in the Park.
The Park enjoys strong
government support and has complete high-tech
industry chains. It focuses
on the integration
of industry, education, and R&D. The Park provides
a stream-lined one-stop
service for incoming
enterprises.
B: The physical environment of
the Park is wonderful.
A: Yes, it is one of
the things that we take so much pride in. The Park
Administration has been
pursuing the policy of
ecological conservation and sustainable
development. To ensure the quality
of the
local environment, we stick steadfastly to our
development strategy of “attracting
investment
with a green environment and maintaining a green
environment through investment”.
As you can
see, the Park has a green coverage of more than
45%. It really boasts stretches of
green
grass, forests of green trees, streams murmuring,
birds chirping, air refreshing, fragrant
flowers blossoming all year round. The whole
environment is enveloped in a peaceful, elegant
and
relaxing atmosphere.
B: You’re a real
poet. Do you have independent and complete
establishments for water and power
supply, and
for waste treatment?
A: Yes, the Park has an
independent techno-support and security service
center, which is equipped
with high-standard
facilities for water and electricity supply and
provides the enterprises with
reliable, stable
and quality power, clean water, internet
maintenance services, as well as a 24-hour
security service.
B: That’s wonderful.
