商务英语口语对话:工作午餐

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.
A：对不起，堂，我不想打扰你，可是有些事我还需要你帮忙。你今天有时间给我简单介绍一下马丁报告的情况吗?
B：噢，没问题。明天你就要介绍那个报告的情况了。我知道这件事我有很多地方需要和你沟通，但是，唉，我不知道……今天我真是非常忙，我唯一能设法挤出的时间可能是在午休时间……
A：你那么忙，我可不愿意让你在午休时还工作。
B：没关系……我已经连续好几天都是边吃午饭边工作了。
A：你看这样可以吗……我们今天下午安排一个工作餐，我去订一些中餐外卖。我请客。
B：你没必要这么做……
A：我一定要这么办。你能抽时间帮我，我真的很感激。你最喜欢吃什么样的快餐?我会满足 你的口味。
B：说实话，我确实喜欢吃中餐……那我们就定在12：30一边吃炒杂碎，一边讨论马丁的报告。这样安排不错吧?
A：太棒了，我去弄吃的。
