商务英语播客 第137课:Hosting a Dinner Party(2)

This is the second in a two-part Business English Pod lesson on hosting visitors. Today, we're going to look at drawing the evening to a close.
这是英语播客有关招待来访者的第二部分。今天，我们将来学习如果结束晚上的聚餐。

Hosting visitors is a great way to get to know the people you do business with. Sharing a meal and drinks in someone's home can really help strengthen a relationship. It gives us a chance to get to know people on a more personal level. But at some point, the evening has to end.
招待来访者是一个很好能够了解你商业伙伴的机会。在朋友家里一起吃喝确实能够加强关系。聚餐让你有机会更能从个人角度去了解你的生意伙伴。
