商务英语bec情景口语：上下班

Commuting

Dialogue 1

A: Where's Bill? The ambassador[ æm'bæsədə ] is already here. The meeting is set to start at 9 am.

B: He's late again. Traffic is probably holding him up. You know, he commutes from the suburbs. It's not easy commuting every day. We should cut him some slack.

A: Even though the trafic is bumper-to-bumper out there, I don't think it's heavy traffic that makes Bill late. He takes the train, remember?

B: Oh, that's right. Well, the train shouldn't be late. That means there is only one explanation.... Bill must have overslept.

A: Well, to be fare, since he's coming all the way from Lancaster, he's got to get up much earlier than the rest of us. He must get start on his commute about 6:30, no telling what time he actually gets up.

B: That's right, because he's got to get to the train station from his house, then take the blue line into the city, then switch trains to the red line. In all, the trip's got to take more than 2 hours.

A: Why doesn't he just drive to work?

B: It's too difficult to park your car in the city. Also, the traffic coming in from the suburbs is a nightmare.

Dialogue 2

A: I can't wait until my car is repaired. The commuting with public transportation is killing me.

B: It can't be that bad.

A: But it is! Take this morning for example. The subway was so packed this morning, I got totally squished by about a hundred busy commuters on the way to work.

B: At least the subway is better than the bus. It's faster for one thing. And usually less crowded. But the drawback is that the subway is more expensive than the bus. It adds up over time, if you take it every day.

A: That's true. The bus is even worse. Just thinking about taking the bus every day makes me tired! Hey, how do you get to work every day?

B: I ride my bike. I don't live too far away, so it's pretty convenient. it's only about a ten minute bike ride from my house to the office.

A: I'll bet it's good exercise, too...a good way to keep fit.

B: Yes, not only a good way to keep in shape, but a good way to relieve stress as well. While you're stressed out by your commute, I'm releasing all the

stress of the day with mine.

商务英语bec情景口语：国际商务旅行

International Business Travel

Dialogue 1

A: I hear you're being sent to Madrid for the annual conference. Is that right?

B: Yes, it would be my first trip overseas. Actually, it's going to be my first time leaving the country.

A: Are you serious? You haven't even been anywhere on vacation?

B: No, I have never vacationed anywhere exotic. But even if I don't get a chance to travel on my personal time, at least I can travel on company time!

A: Well, being able to go to the conference sounds like such a great opportunity. Have you applied at the embassy for a visa yet?

B: Yes, it wasn't too hard to get. All I had to do was fill out the paperwork and pay the application fee.

A: You leave next Tuesday, right? What time is your flight?

B: My flight departs at 7 am. I have everything except for my luggage ready.

A: If your flight is leaving so early, I can take you to the airport and see you off. I'll still be able to make it into the office by 9.

B: That would be great! Thanks a lot!

Dialogue 2

A: How were things in the Tokyo branch when you were there?

B: Good! They have expanded and are doing better than they were last quarter. It's nice to see some improvement for a change.

A: Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months?

B: Yes, especially with so many of our executives going back and forth from here to Japan. The only problem is, they may have trouble when they go to open up business here.

A: Why would you say that?

B: They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan. There are a lot of cultural differences to account for.

A: I'll say! Sometimes they just do things really differently. But one thing I can say, they are really hospitable.

B: Have you ever been to Japan?

A: Sure! I just got back yesterday. I'm still suffering from jet lag.

商务英语bec情景口语：工作午餐

The working lunch

Dialogue 1

A: Excuse me, Don? I hate to bother you, but I need your help on something. Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today?

B: Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow. I know there are some things I need to share with you about that. But, gosh, I don't know.... Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break....

A: I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are....

B: It's okay.... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch....

A: How about this.... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery. It'll be my treat.

B: You don't have to do that....

A: I insist. I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in. What is your favorite fast food? I'll cater to your taste.

B: Actually I do like Chinese.... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about 12:30. Does that sound good?

A: Great. I'll bring the food.

Dialogue 2

A: For our lunch meeting with the investors, do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant or do we just show up?

B: Usually for lunch, we don't have to reserve a table, they should allow walk-ins. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a table for half-past twelve. Will that suit your schedule?

A: I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve. Can you make the reservation a little earlier? If we start earlier, it will give us more time for a longer lunch.

B: Are you planning on treating the investors to a full-course meal?

A: Yes, we'll start with appetizers, follow with a soup and salad course, then main dishes of prime rib or cordon bleu chicken, and finish up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort.

B: That'll be pretty heavy for a mid-day meal, don't you think?

A: As along as we stay away from anything alcoholic, we should be okay.

B: With your prime rib and chicken choices, you'd better hope nobody's vegetarian.

A: We can make some special arrangement if we need to. After all, it's the company who is footing the bill.
