商務英語情景口語:招待客戶

A: Mr. Bryant? Hi, I'm Mike from Florence Incorporated. I'll glad you made it okay. How was your flight?

B: It was pretty bumpy, also a bit long, all together about 5 hours.

A: That is a long flight. You had a layover too, is that right? You must be tired.

B: Actually I feel quite rested. I was able to sleep on the plane.

A: Good! Here, let me help you with your bag. Is it your first time to Seattle? I'd be happy to take you around this city and show you the sights tonight if you're up to it.

B: That will be very nice. You're too kind.

A: I've already made a hotel reservation for you, let's go to the hotel first and drop off your things. Then, I'd like to have a drink so that we can get better acquainted. I've booked a table at an Exclusive restaurant downtown. Afterwards, I've made arrangements to take you to see the city lights. Seattle’s nightlife can be really quite exciting. How does that schedule sound to you?

B: Sounds great. Thank you for your hospitality.

是布萊恩特先生嗎?您好，我是佛羅倫薩股份有限公司的邁克。很高興您能及時抵達。一路順風吧。
路上顛簸得很厲害，時間也有點唱，總共大約5個小時。
路程真是不近。中途還有短暫停留吧？您一定累壞了。
實際上我休息得不錯。飛機上能睡覺。
太好了！那我幫你拿包吧。您是第一次來西雅圖嗎？如果您今晚有空的話，我很樂意陪您在城裏轉轉，看看風景。
那樣太好了，非常感謝。
我已經爲您訂了旅館，我們先過去把東西放下。然後，我們去喝酒好好認識一下，我在市區一家高檔飯店訂了一桌。吃完飯後，我已安排了帶您去看城市夜景。西雅圖的夜生活真的很熱鬧。您覺得這樣安排可以嗎？
聽起來好極了。謝謝你的熱情款待。
