CRI English Unit 1:INTRODUCTIONS

Part 2   Introducing Other People 给别人做介绍

Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1

Frank: Mr. Smith, I'd like you to meet my friend Lisa Peterson.

Smith: How do you do?

Lisa: How do you do?

Smith: How do you find things over here?

Lisa: If it wasn't for the climate, I'd like it very much.

Smith: It won't take you too long to settle here.

讲解:

    在这段对话中，Lisa Peterson被介绍给了Mr.Smith，他们两个互道寒暄之后，又聊了一些题外话，介绍别人时的模式大体就是这样的。

    注意介绍人要给被介绍人充分的时间去交流。

Dialogue Script 2 对话原文 2

Peter: May I introduce my new associate, Sarah Jackson? She represents the Dragon River Wear Company in China. This is Jay Mayor, a buyer for Bloomingdale's.

Sarah: Pleased to meet you, Mr. Mayor.

Mayor: Pleasure's mine. How is it going in China? Do you like it there?

Sarah: Quite good. The climate is pleasing and the food is great.

讲解:

    这段对话发生的背景显然是一个商业酒会，说法都比较正式。介绍人把双方都介绍了一下，包括他们的职业。但是注意不要说的太多，因为第一次见面大都不会谈的太深入。

给别人作介绍的常用基本表达方式：
比较正式的表达方式：

I'd like you to meet Mr. Smith.

I'd like to introduce Mrs. Linda Simpson.

May I introduce Mr. David Parker?

Allow me to introduce my friend Peter Brown. Peter, this is Mr. Howard Smith.

Allow me to introduce you to my manager.

Mr. Smith, let me introduce Mr. John Peterson.

比较随意的表达方式:

Meet my friend Peter Brown.

Mr. Smith, this is Mr. Brown.

Jack, this is Miranda. Miranda, this is Jack.
回答就与做自我介绍时差不多，双方要互相问候。

    另外，在做具体介绍的时候，应该平举右手掌示意，而且眼神、手势要投向被介绍者，不要用手指，这样会显得不尊敬。
