原汁原味商務英語播客第120課:參觀工廠

In today' s Business English Pod episode, we' re going to look at language for showing a visitor around your office or factory. 今天的英語播客，我們將探討的是有關參觀辦公室和工廠的語句。

There are many reasons that someone might visit a factory and take a tour. They might be a prospective client who wants to see where the products are made, or perhaps someone from head office is on an inspection tour, or it could be an official inspection to make sure you are following government or internal standards. If it' s your job to give the tour, you' ll want to make sure everything goes smoothly. So in today' s episode we' ll looking at language for guiding people on a tour and pointing out areas of interest. 參觀和遊覽工廠有很多原因。那些來看產品是在哪兒生產的人很可能就是潛在的客戶，或許是是來自高層的領導來視察產品是否符合政府和內部的標準。你的工作就是安排好這樣的參觀，你希望在參觀時一切都能順利地進行。所以在今天的這一集中我們要學習的是在參觀過程中引導參觀者參觀時要用的語句。

We' ll be listening to Ingrid taking Carl on a tour of a factory where GC cleaning products are produced. Carl is from the head office of GC and he' s inspecting the factory where Ingrid works. His job is to make sure that the company' s factories are all up to standard and capable of handling future orders. As the dialog starts, Carl has already arrived at the factory and met Ingrid, who is ready to start the tour. 接下來將聽到是在GC清潔產品生產工廠裏，英格麗德和卡爾正在參觀途中交談。卡爾是來自GC公司的總部，正在視察卡爾工作的車間。他的主要任務是確保工廠能夠達標地運行，能夠應付未來的訂單。對話開始時，卡爾已經達到了工廠，見到了已經做好參觀嚮導準備的英格麗德。
