实用英语对话:说客

洋洋：你的工作到底是做什么的呢？

心涛：主要是帮助公司、企业做一些谈判工作，以保证他们的利益。通俗地理解，我就是一个说客。

洋洋：哦？说客？我印象中，说客拥有三寸不烂之舌，善于运用各种软磨硬泡功夫，甚至不惜在背地里耍手段。

心涛：也不像你想的那么夸张。我只是用我的劝说能力帮助我的客户。我有时候也会为私营机构或是个人工作。其实我的主要工作只是帮客户说出他们不能直接说的话罢了。

洋洋：听起来不错啊，我正需要个说客。我一直想说服我爸妈能让我买辆豪华越野去非洲自驾游！

心涛：那你来晚了一步。你爸妈上周来找我让我说服你放弃这个异想天开的计划。

洋洋：啊？

 

 

Yangyang: What do you do exactly?

Xintao: My job is to help companies and enterprises to negotiate to make sure their interests. To put it simple, I’m a persuader.

 

Yangyang: A persuader? In my opinion, a persuader must have a silver tongue. He must be good at using a mild insult or a snarky attitude and they don’t care if they are being mean.

 

Xintao: It’s not like that. I just help my clients with my persuasive ability. Sometimes I work for private institutions and individuals. In fact, I’m just helping my clients to say what they cannot say directly.

 

Yangyang: Sounds great. I just need a persuader to talk with my parents about buying a luxury SUV for a self-driving travel.

 

Xintao: Your parents are one step before you and they asked me to persuade you to give up this whimsical idea.

 

Yangyang; What?
