地道美语听力播客568:应酬客户

Georgia: Do you know what the best part is of my new promotion? The expense account! I can’t wait to wine and dine our clients.

乔治亚：你知道我升职后最好的事情是什么吗?是报销账单。我已经迫不及待的用好酒好菜款待我们的客户了。

Dan: The purpose of the expense account is to win over new clients and to keep our current clients happy. It’s not a personal slush fund, you know.

丹：报销账单是用于争取笼络新的客户，并且继续维持我们现有客户满意度的。你知道的这不是个人的行贿基金。

Georgia: I know. The point is to network and to build client relationships – blah-blah-blah.

乔治亚：我知道的。是为了与客户打好关系，建立好关系，笼络新客户等等。

Dan: Schmoozing is part of our job and it’s not something to be taken lightly.

丹：闲谈也是我们工作的一部分，你不能掉以轻心。

Georgia: Of course not. But I’m looking forward to attending charity events to rub elbows with the business elite. Free food, free booze, and free entertainment. What more could I ask for?

乔治亚：当然不会了。但是我正期待着去参加慈善活动，借此来接近那些商业精英们。免费的食物，免费的酒水，和各种免费的娱乐活动。我要求的就这么多。

Dan: Talk to me in three months after you’ve had a few too many plates of rubber chicken!

丹：三个月后，等你参加了大量的应酬饭局后，你就不这样说了。
