邀請Invitation
Mr. Jones: Mary! I haven’t seen you since our dinner with Mr. Lee last week. Where have you been hiding yourself lately?
Mary! 自從上星期我們和李先生吃過飯后就沒見到你了。你最近藏到哪兒去了?
Miss Lewis: Oh, hi Mike. I’ve been out of town the last few days. What did you need?
噢，你好，Mike。我前些天不在城里。你有什么事嗎?
Mr. Jones: Really, nothing big. I just heard about your ideas on employee motivation and I wanted chat with you about a few things going on in my department.
其實沒什么重要的事情。我剛聽說你有關提高員工積極性的一些想法，我想和你聊聊我部門里的一些事情。
Miss Lewis: Well, feel free to drop by my office any time. The door’s always open.
好的，隨時可以到我辦公室來談，我非常歡迎.
Mr. Jones: Actually, I was hoping to mix business with pleasure. Would you be interested in joining me for dinner some time this week? I thought we might try out the new Italian restaurant everyone’s been talking about.
其實，我希望在輕松的氣氛中談正事兒。這周你愿意和我一起去吃晚餐嗎?
我覺得我們可以去那家意大利餐廳，風乎每個人都說起這家餐廳。
Miss Lewis: Sure, Mike, I’d love to.
沒問題，Mike, 我很愿意。
Mr. Jones: Is this evening too soon?
要是今晚，時間是不是太緊了?
Miss Lewis: No, that’s perfect. We can leave directly from here.
不，今晚挺好的。我們可以直接從這兒走。
