Hints on Hosting a Manger from Overseas 關於招待外國經理的提醒
1) Take them to a famous restaurant, but let them order some of the food.
2) Don't fret if you are a newbie at hosting.
3) Ask them what they would like to be called.
4) Never offer them cigarettes!
5) Try to teach them a little Chinese. It is fun and useful.
6) Ask about their hometown,中翻日, but don't ask why they came to China.
1)帶他們到一傢很著名的餐廳,但讓他們來點一些菜。
2)假如您正在接待客人圆里沒經驗,不要擔古道热肠。
3)問他們喜懽怎樣稱吸。
4)切記不要背他們敬煙。
5)試著教他們一點兒中文。這很成心思,也很有效。
6)問問他們的傢鄉是哪裏,但不要問他們為什麼到中國來。
Dialogue
Molly : Why are you running around like a chicken with its head cut off?
Gordon: I am hosting a manager from overseas. She told me she doesn't like Chinese food. Where can I take her?
Molly : I'll give you a hint. Try western restaurants inside major hotels.
Gordon: Will they have a good selection?
Molly : Don't fret. Most big hotels have at least two western restaurants.
Gordon: I didn't know that.
Molly : You sure are a newbie. But after hosting your first oversea manager, you will be an expert.
Gordon: Thanks a bunch. I don't know what I would do without you.
Molly : I do. You would run around like a chicken with its head off.
莫莉:你為什麼像只沒頭蒼蠅似的慌裏慌張的?
戈登:我正在接待一名國中來的經理。她告訴我她不喜懽中國菜,我該帶她到哪往?
莫莉:我給你個提議。試試大飯店裏的西餐廳。
戈登:那有良多選擇的余天嗎?
莫莉:別擔心,年夜多數大飯店起码有兩傢西餐廳。
戈登:我不晓得這個。
莫莉:你確實是個新脚,不過招待完一次外國經理,你便成止傢了。
戈登:多謝。实不知讲沒有你我該怎麼辦。
莫莉:我晓得。你會像只沒頭蒼蠅似的跑來跑来。
