白领应急英语口语 奋斗之路30 出差

范例一：Changes in rule  规则的改变

I am going on a business trip to Guangzhou next Monday morning.
我下周一早上要去广州出差。

To visit our supplier?
去拜访我们的供应商吗？

Yes, as the New Year is coming, they’re organizing a party for all their customers.
是的，新年就要到来的，他们为所有的客户组织了一个派对。

Well, I guess you will meet many people in this field. So don’t forget to pack enough business cards in your suitcase.
恩，我猜想你会遇到很多这个行业的人。所以记得把名片放进你的手提箱。

Sure.  一定。

By the way, do you know that our company just made some changes in the business trip policy?
顺便问一下，你知不知道我们公司刚刚在出差政策上做了一些改变吗？

No, no one has informed me of that so far, tell me.
不，目前为止还没有人通知我，告诉我吧。

Ok, there is no cash advance anymore for short trips. You have to pay out of your own pocket, so save all the receipts from your business trip. And then attach them to your expense account. When you get back, our company will reimburse everything.
好的，短期旅程再也没有事先给现金了。你必须自己先垫付，所以你要保存出差时的所有单据。然后在上面附上你的花费账目。你回来的时候，公司就会给你报销。

I see. What about the maximum purdy and rate, any change?
我明白了。费用的最大上限是多少,有改变吗?(Purdy此处有误无法查证原词.)

I am not sure. You can check with the finance department.
我不确定。你可以和财务部联系。

I will call them this afternoon, thanks.
下午我会打电话给他们，谢谢。

You’re welcome. Have a nice trip.
不客气。旅途愉快。

范例二：Lousy business trip  糟糕的出差

Hi, Francis, how was your business trip?
Francis，你好，你出差的情况怎么样了？

It was a nightmare.
噩梦一个。

What’s up?
发生什么事？

Actually, the business trip itself was very successful. We arrived on time, we had nice conversations and we settled some important issues for the next year.
事实上，这次的出差是非常成功的。我们准时到达，我们会话愉快，我们解决了明年的一些重要的问题。

Sounds quite fruitful, why do you call it still a nightmare then?
听起来很成功，为什么你说仍然是个噩梦？

Well, the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge. I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam. When I finally got home, I was totally exhausted. But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout.
额，在返程班机上，航空公司把我的行李弄丢了，然后我在和主管人员谈话时，我的手提包丢失了。我比预期的还要晚3个钟头离开机场，接着我遇到交通阻塞。当我最终到家时，我筋疲力尽了。但是我发现电梯由于断电不能工作。

This is really a sad story. Did they trace back your luggage?
情况真是糟糕。他们找回你的行李了吗？

I am still waiting for their call.
我仍然在等他们的电话。

Take it easy, all sufferings have their reward.
别着急，会苦尽甘来的。
