Making Arrangements for Dinner
邀約國外客戶共進晚餐究竟要注意哪些事項呢？又該如何以電話來進行晚餐邀約呢？現在就讓湯姆和黛西來為您示範商業聚餐邀約的用語喔！
Daisy: Hi, this is Daisy Lin speaking.
Tom: Hello Daisy, it’s Tom from AMC.
Daisy: Hi Tom. I’m really looking forward to finally meeting you in person next week.
Tom: Yes, it’ll be good to see you at the conference. If you’re free on Wednesday night, I hope I can treat you to dinner after the meeting.
Daisy: Let me check my schedule. Hmm… Yes, I’m free on Wednesday, and I think it’ll be nice to go out to dinner, too.
Tom: Great. Could you tell me what kind of restaurant you prefer?
Daisy: Actually, I’m interested in sampling2 some of the local food. I try to do that whenever I travel. I’m sure you know all the best restaurants.
Tom: All right, I’ll pick a nice place. Do you have any dietary references?
Daisy: No, I’m happy to try anything. I’m really looking for somewhere traditional, though. I find I can learn a lot about a country and its culture from its food and dining customs.
Tom: Yes, that’s true.
Daisy: I learned that when Chinese people praise a meal, they might say it’s so good that it tastes like it comes from a restaurant.
Tom: Whereas Western people compliment food by comparing it to their mothers’ home cooking.
Daisy: Exactly!
Tom: That’s interesting. I look forward to having a nice conversation with you when we finally meet up.
中文翻譯
黛西：嗨，我是林黛西。
湯姆：哈囉，黛西，我是 AMC 的湯姆。
黛西：嗨，湯姆，我真的很期待下週總算可以和您會面。
湯姆：是啊，能在會議時和您見面是件很開心的事。如果您星期三晚上有空，我希望能在會議結束後請您吃晚餐。
黛西：我查一下日程表，嗯…可以，我星期三有空。我也覺得能外出用餐是件很棒的事。
湯姆：好極了，可以請問您較屬意哪一類餐廳嗎？
黛西：其實，我對於嘗試一些本地的食物很有興趣。只要我旅遊時都會試著這麼做。我很確定您知道所有最棒的餐廳在哪裡。
湯姆：好的，我會選一間好餐廳。您在飲食上有什麼偏好嗎？
黛西：沒有，我很開心能多做嘗試，而我正在尋找有本地特色的地方。我發現從食物和飲食習慣就能大大地認識一個國家以及它的文化。
湯姆：是的，沒錯。
黛西：我知道當華人在讚美一桌飯菜時，他們會說，這嚐起來跟餐廳做的一樣地好。
湯姆：然而，西方人在稱讚食物時，會把該食物比喻為母親做的家常菜。
黛西：完全正確！
湯姆：真有趣。我很期待終於見到面時和您暢談。
