白領的一天 場景85:一起吃午飯 Doing lunch
Narrator: 上週 Anna 得到了 Tip Top 貿易公司的銷售專員職位。這還得歸功於 Anna 面對緊急情況頭腦清楚，反應快，處理問題得當。今天是她上班的第一天。How are you feeling now, Anna?
Anna: Excited, but a bit worried. I really want to make a good first impression.
Narrator: 沒事兒，我教你幾句和別人初次見面時常用的一些表達，比如：
你好，我們好像以前沒見過面。Hello, I don't think we've met.
你一定是 Tom. You must be Tom.
我剛加入公司。I've just joined the team.
很高興認識你。Nice to meet you.
你在這兒工作有一些年頭了吧？Have you worked here long?
你看公司的銷售經理 Tom Darcy 就在那邊，你快去打個招呼吧。
Tom: (On the phone) Yah, no, yah, yah, yah, OK. I'll seal the deal, yah, no worries. Yah, alright, see ya mate, bye. (Hangs up)
Anna: Hello, I don't think we've met.
Tom: No.
Anna: You must be Tom. I'm Anna. I've just joined the team.
Tom: Uh huh.
Anna: Nice to meet you. Have you worked here long?
Tom: Sorry, I'm quite busy right now – I've got a big deal just coming through. But let's get together sometime. Um... can you do Lunch tomorrow?
Anna: You want me to do lunch? Well, I'm not very -
(Telephone rings)
Tom: Sorry, important client. Lunch tomorrow at 12.30 then?
(On the phone) Tom speaking. Yah! Frankie! So what's the latest, are we on?
Anna: Well, OK then.
Narrator: 真棒！Anna, 你用了些挺好的表達來介紹你自己。遺憾的是 Tom 好像對你有點兒愛搭不理的。
Anna: I'm sure he's just busy. But I'm a bit worried about tomorrow!
(The next day…)
Anna: (Struggling into the office carrying cooking implements) Good morning Paul!
Paul: Good morning Anna, are you OK?
Anna: Fine, the kitchen's through there, isn't it?
Paul: Er, yes.
(Kitchen noises as Anna starts preparing lunch)
Denise: Anna!
Anna: Oh hi, Denise!
Denise: What are you doing?
Anna: Cooking lunch for Tom.
Denise: You what?
Anna: Tom asked me to have lunch ready for 12.30.
Denise: Did he indeed?
Tom: Er, Anna.
Anna: Hi Tom!
Tom: What are you doing?
Anna: Spring rolls, followed by crispy duck in black bean sauce.
Tom: No, I mean, why are you cooking?
Anna: Well, if I don't start now, it won't be ready for you by 12.30.
Tom: Oh, you misunderstood me, Anna. When I said "Can you do lunch?" it didn't mean "Can you make lunch?" It meant "Are you available to come to lunch with me?" In a cafe or something.
Anna: Oh!
Paul: Mmm... something smells good, but what's going on here?
Denise: Anna thinks it's her job to cook for people!
Anna: No, no, I misunderstood!
Tom: Anna just got a bit confused.
Paul: Well, never mind, it looks tasty.
Anna: There's enough for everyone if you want some.
Paul: I think that's a splendid idea, we can have an office picnic!
Anna: Yes!
Paul: Mmm, that sauce looks delicious.
Anna: Yes, it's my favourite.
Narrator: 看來 Anna 今天這個頭兒還開的不錯。讓我們一起回顧一下她剛纔用到的一些表達：
Hello, I don't think we've met.
You must be Tom.
I've just joined the team.
Nice to meet you.
Have you worked here long?
Narrator: 記住如果有人對你說 "Would you like to do lunch?" 意思可不是說讓你給他們做午餐。這句話的實際意思是我們一起吃個午飯吧。
好了，下次節目再會。
聽力挑戰：
Tom 在 Tip Top Trading 公司的的職稱是什麼?
上期答案：
爲什麼記憶棒是溼的？
Because it had been in Paul's tea. 因爲它掉到 Paul 的茶杯裏了。
