跟學商貿口語 第10課:Preparing A Presentation準備彙報

CHRISTINA: Liz, do you have a minute?
LIZ: Yes, of course. What is it?
CHRISTINA: I need you to help me set up for my presentation Thursday morning.
LIZ: Okay, what should I do?
CHRISTINA: Well, it isn't at this office. It's over at the Dayton Street office.
Have you been there before?
LIZ: Yes, of course. I have to go there every Tuesday.
CHRISTINA: Good. So you will have no trouble finding it.
LIZ: What's the presentation about?
CHRISTINA: I will talk about developing sales through our website.
All the branch heads will be there, and most of the staff.
LIZ: Will you need anything special for the presentation?
CHRISTINA: Well, I need the display monitor.
But Tom can set that up for me on Wednesday.
I will need you to help with everything else.
LIZ: I suppose you need the whiteboard set up.
CHRISTINA: I need the whiteboard, and pens.
I don't know if they have pens over there. So you have to bring pens. And an eraser.
LIZ: Alright. That's no problem. I will bring pens. Anything else?
CHRISTINA: Well, I'm afraid it will be troublesome, Liz.
You know what that office is like.
You will have to move some of the desks around to make enough space.
There will be at least twenty people.
LIZ: So you need me to set up fold-out chairs too.
I can do that no problem.
I will call Mary over there and ask her to make sure they have enough chairs.
CHRISTINA: Thank you. I know they have that storage room there.
There are chairs in the storage room.
LIZ: But I don't know if there are twenty chairs. I might have to bring some from here.
CHRISTINA: And we need Coffee too.
Coffee and some pastries maybe. The presentation is at ten AM.
LIZ: I can go over there first thing in the morning.
Do you want me to serve instant coffee, or should I get it catered?
CHRISTINA: Catered?
LIZ: You know. Get it from Starbucks.
I can have Starbucks make me a big thermos of hot coffee.
And I can get the pastries there too. It's easy. I can pick it all up in the morning.
CHRISTINA: You are a genius, Liz. I never thought of that.
If you can do that for me, I will be grateful.
LIZ: It's no problem. I just think it's much better than instant coffee.
And if we need pastries too, it's easy to stop there.
CHRISTINA: Do you think you could get it all set up before ten?
LIZ: Of course. We need the display monitor, twenty chairs, the whiteboard, pens,
an eraser, and coffee and pastries. Anything else?
CHRISTINA: I can't think of anything right now.
You've set my mind at ease, Liz. I appreciate it.

克麗斯汀提娜：麗斯，你有空嗎？
麗斯：是的，當然。什麼事？
克麗斯汀提娜：我需要你幫我佈置我星期四早上的彙報。
麗斯：沒問題，那我應該做什麼？
克麗斯汀提娜：嗯，並不是在這間辦公室裏。是在岱頓街的辦公室。
你以前去過那兒嗎？
麗斯：是的，當然。我每個星期二都會去。
克麗斯汀提娜：好，所以你應該可以找到那裏。
麗斯：那個彙報是關於什麼？
克麗斯汀提娜：我會談談關於通過網絡發展業務方面。
所有的分公司主管都會到場，還有大部份的職員。
麗斯：你的彙報需不需要什麼特別的東西？
克麗斯汀提娜：嗯，我需要顯示屏。
但湯姆會幫我在星期三裝好。
我會需要你幫我處理其它的事項。
麗斯：我認爲你會需要用到白板。
克麗斯汀提娜：我需要白板，還有筆。
我不知道他們那邊有沒有筆，所以你就把筆帶着，還有一個板擦。
麗斯：好的，那沒問題。我會帶筆，還有什麼嗎？
克麗斯汀提娜：嗯，我還有一點擔心，麗斯。
你知道那間辦公室的。
你必須挪開一些桌子來騰出一些空間。
至少會有二十個人。　
麗斯：所以你也需要我來準備摺疊椅。
沒問題我可以做到。
我會打電話給瑪麗確定他們那邊有足夠的椅子。
克麗斯汀提娜：謝謝你，我知道他們那邊有一個儲藏室。
儲藏室裏有椅子。
麗斯：但我不知道那邊是不是有二十張椅子，我可能需要帶一些過去。
克麗斯汀提娜：我們也需要咖啡。
咖啡和小點心也需要。彙報是早上十點。
麗斯：一早我就會到那兒。
你要我準備即溶的咖啡，還是找人承辦？
克麗斯汀提娜：找人承辦？
麗斯：你知道。Starbucks 有現成的。
我可以請 Starbucks 幫我煮一大壺熱咖啡放在保溫瓶裏。
我也可以在那兒買到點心，很方便。我一大早就可以準備好。
克麗斯汀提娜：你真是一個天才，麗斯。我從沒想到那樣。
如果你可以幫我做好，我會很感激的。
麗斯：沒問題。我只是認爲那比即溶咖啡來得好。
如果我們需要點心，到那兒是很方便的。
克麗斯汀提娜：你認爲你可以在十點前都就緒嗎？
麗斯：當然。我們需要顯示屏，二十張椅子，白板，筆，
板擦及咖啡和點心，還有缺嗎？
克麗斯汀提娜：我現在實在想不到什麼了。
你讓我的頭腦放鬆了，麗斯。我真的很感謝。
