第二单元1Excuse me, Sir, is this Prof. Tallack from London?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. Yes, I’m Dai jiajia, manager of Human Resource, the Haitong Group. I have been expecting you, Prof. Tallack.Thank you for coming to meet me at the airport. This is fantastic airport, absolutely one of the top-notch international airport.I’m very glad to have the pleasure of meeting you in my hometown. This is indeed a first-class internal airport as everybody says so. You are welcome. We are very happy that you made it in spite of the tiring trip. We are very grateful that you took time from your business schedule and came to Haitong to give us advice.I have 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 enterprise at a close distance.How is the trip? It must be very tiring, flying for more than 10 hours.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.Well, you must be very tired after the long trip, and you have to get overthe jet-lag. We have got all the luggage, haven’t we? Let’s drive directly to the hotel.Yes, I’m a bit tired. I’m very bad with the jet-lag. But I’ll be all right in the couple of days.Good. We’ll take you to the hotel for a good rest(下榻宾馆). You don’t have to get up early tomorrow. Here’s the schedule for tomorrow. We’ll host a reception lunch in your honor（设宴洗尘）. And then you’ll meet with Chairman of the Board（总裁）in the afternoon. We’ll take you to an acrobatic(杂技) show in the evening, a typical Chinese acrobatic(杂技) show. How do you think that, Prof. Tallack.I like that. I have heard Chinese people are very friendly and hospitable. You’re very considerate, Miss Dai. I’ll soon been spoiled. I’m afraid.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?Sure2 Good afternoon. Welcome to the Peace Hotel. May I help you, sir? Yes, I’d like to check in, please.Certainly, sir. May I have your name, please? Do you have a reservation with us, sir?Yes, it’s Robert king. I suppose someone made the reservation for me. 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(确认函)? That’s very strange. I made the reservation about 10days ago, through a travel agency at home. But I don’t have the confirmation letter with me. what I have a copy of the itinerary（行程表）. Is there any problem with the accommodation for just 2days?Just a minute, please. I’ll check vacancies. Very good, I got in. we have a double room, and there’s a deluxe suite（豪华套房）available. Which one do you prefer?Thanks a lot. I prefer the double room. How long can I keep it? And is it a regular rate with no extra charge?Very good, sir. Will you register here, please? No, there is no extra charge. Actually, you would have a good rate with 20% off（八折）on the last deluxe suite.The double room is fine. Is there any service that I need to know? Certainly, sir. May I know if you have anything in particular?Yes, I’d like to have a 7o’clock morning call, breakfast sent to my room, shirts and pants laundered, some documents photocopied, and express mail sent out, and something like that.No problem. Just call our Front Desk（总台）, Catering Service（餐饮部）,Laundry Service（洗熨部）, and Business Center accordingly. Or you may contact the Floor Service Desk.（楼层服务台）Is there anything else I can do for you?Just one more thing—do you have any place for fitness exercises? I go to the gym and exercise every day.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 anytime.Very good, thank you very much.You’re welcome.3Ladies 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 Ms Kelland for her coming. Without her last-minute effort, we would still be in the middle of nowhere, probably in the middle of negotiation, I’m afraid.Thank you, president Li. You all did very well. I just contributed my share. We all maneuvered(机动) successfully to get our job done, so tospeak. Well, ladies and gentlemen, are we carrying out another round of talk over the dinner?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.(大自然赐予)That’s great, the delicious Chinese food! I can’t enjoy your food. What are we expecting tonight.Tonight we have prepared a typical Shanghai meal. I hope you will like it. Yes, eat in Shanghai as Shanghai people eat. But, to be frankly, 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. 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（质地）, and original flavors（原汁原味）.It sounds very appetizing.I’d like to recommend a special snack（特色点心）known as Nanxing Steamed Meat Dumplings and a special dish called “Squirrel—Shaped Mandarin Fish”. Nanxing Steamed Meat Dumplings are small in size,with thin and translucent wrapped,（皮薄汁醇）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（皮脆肉嫩）, all covered with a sweet and sour sauce（酸甜适口）. They are absolutely tasters’ choice. I bet you’ll like them.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?Absolutely right, plus “appearance”—that makes the 4th element. Ok, here we are. Please help yourself to the dishes.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 .I’m very glad that you like the dishes. But this is just the beginning of the dinner. We have more surprise to expect.（好戏还在后头）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. And toast to the health of President Li and to the health of everybody here. Cheers.To our lasting friendship and cooperation, cheers!4 Hello, welcome to Jinghe High-Tech Park. I am operationmanager(业务经理) of the park. I’m honor to be your guide and take you to tour around the park. May I know your major interest?I an interest in the general layout of the park. Would you please give me some idea of its setup?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”.（走马观花）Good idea, but we’ll cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on your car… in a more comfortable manner.I really like your humor, sir. Now let me come back to our story.（言归正传）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.
