商务英语播客 第120课:参观工厂

      In today' s Business English Pod episode, we' re going to look at language for showing a visitor around your office or factory. 今天的英语播客，我们将探讨的是有关参观办公室和工厂的语句。

      There are many reasons that someone might visit a factory and take a tour. They might be a prospective client who wants to see where the products are made, or perhaps someone from head office is on an inspection tour, or it could be an official inspection to make sure you are following government or internal standards. If it' s your job to give the tour, you' ll want to make sure everything goes smoothly. So in today' s episode we' ll looking at language for guiding people on a tour and pointing out areas of interest. 参观和游览工厂有很多原因。那些来看产品是在哪儿生产的人很可能就是潜在的客户，或许是是来自高层的领导来视察产品是否符合政府和内部的标准。你的工作就是安排好这样的参观，你希望在参观时一切都能顺利地进行。所以在今天的这一集中我们要学习的是在参观过程中引导参观者参观时要用的语句。

      We' ll be listening to Ingrid taking Carl on a tour of a factory where GC cleaning products are produced. Carl is from the head office of GC and he' s inspecting the factory where Ingrid works. His job is to make sure that the company' s factories are all up to standard and capable of handling future orders.
