跟學商貿口語 第5課:Attending A Trade Show參加展銷會

SCOTT: This facility is great, don't you think?
ANDREW: Yes, it is better than last year. They have done a very good job this time.
SCOTT: I'm glad our booth is on the first floor. More people can see our display.
ANDREW: If someone wants to find us, they can look at this floor plan.
It shows where all the companies have their booths.
SCOTT: Let me see that. I didn't get one when I came in.
ANDREW: Really? They didn't give you one with your ticket?
SCOTT: No.
ANDREW: That's strange.
SCOTT: Where do you go for lunch around here?
ANDREW: Are you hungry?
SCOTT: Not too bad. But I will be soon.
ANDREW: I went across the street. There is a good Chinese restaurant next to the hotel.
SCOTT: I can't see Comtex on this floor plan. Don't they have a booth here?
ANDREW: They must. Let me look at that.
Here it is. Comtex. It's on the second floor, next to the Rolly booth.
SCOTT: Oh, that will be uncomfortable for them.
ANDREW: For whom? Comtex?
SCOTT: Yes. Comtex just stole Darren McDowell from Rolly.
And probably Darren will be here.
So he will have to spend the whole show standing next to his old Comtex coworkers.
ANDREW: I've never met Darren.
But you're right. That would probably be uncomfortable.
SCOTT: When you reserve a booth, you should check who your neighbors will be.
Don't you think?
ANDREW: Yes, maybe. If you're Darren McDowell, you should probably check.
SCOTT: Yes. Well, I think I'll go get lunch. Will you join me?
ANDREW: No, I'll stay here at the booth.
I ate earlier. Are you going to the Chinese restaurant?
SCOTT: Maybe. I will look around.

史考特：這個設備真好，你認爲呢？
安卓魯：是的，比去年好。他們這次做得很好。
史考特：我很高興我們的攤位在一樓，有更多人可以看到我們的展示。
安卓魯：如果有人想找我們，他們可以察看這個場地圖。
它清楚地標示所有公司的攤位所在。
史考特：讓我看一下，我進來的時候我沒有拿到。
安卓魯：是嗎？他們沒有把它附在你的門票中嗎？
史考特：沒有。
安卓魯：真奇怪。
史考特：你在附近那兒吃午餐？
安卓魯：你餓了嗎？
史考特：還可以，但很快了。
安卓魯：我到對街去。靠近旅館有一間不錯的中國餐廳。
史考特：我沒有在場地圖看到 Comtex。他們應該有攤位吧？
安卓魯：他們一定有。讓我看一下那張場地圖。
在這兒，Comtex。在二樓，Rolly 攤位隔壁。
史考特：對他們來說是很不舒服的。
安卓魯：對誰？對 Comtex？
史考特：是的。Comtex 纔剛從 Rolly 那兒挖走迪凌?麥克當沃。
迪凌應該也在會場。
他整個展銷期間要對着他Comtex的老同事。
安卓魯：我從未見過迪凌。
但你是對的，那真的是很不舒服的。
史考特：當你要訂一個攤位，你需要察看一下誰是你的鄰居。
你不怎麼認爲嗎？
安卓魯：是的，或許是吧。如果你是迪凌?麥克當沃，你是應該要察看一下。
史考特：是的。嗯，我想要吃午餐了。你要跟我一起嗎？
安卓魯：不，我會留在攤位。
我先前吃過了。你要去中國餐廳嗎？
史考特：或許是吧。我會到處看看。
