地道美语听力练习:生意场上的公平竞争

2014-04-10来源:和谐英语

Marcel:Hey, why do you have the file for the Donovan account on your desk?

I thought that was Evan's account.

Amanda:It is, but I'm about to snatch it from him.

He won't know what hit him.

Marcel:You're stealing his account?

If you do that, you'd better watch your back.

Amanda:You've got it all wrong.

This is payback.

Three months ago, when I was on the verge of getting the Moralez account, Evan swooped in and snagged it.

He doesn't play fair and now neither do I.

Marcel:This sounds like the beginning of a feud.

Amanda:Evan started it.

If he wants to play hardball then what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Marcel:You're not worried that he'll up the ante and try to do something even more underhanded?

Amanda:Evan doesn't scare me.

Marcel:This could easily escalate.

Amanda:Like I said, I'm not afraid of Evan.

This is business.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
