In today' s Business English Pod episode, we' re going to look at language for showing a visitor around your office or factory. 今天的英語(yǔ)播客,我們將探討的是有關(guān)參觀辦公室和工廠的語(yǔ)句。
There are many reasons that someone might visit a factory and take a tour. They might be a prospective client who wants to see where the products are made, or perhaps someone from head office is on aninspection tour, or it could be an official inspection to make sure you are following government or internalstandards. If it' s your job to give the tour, you' ll want to make sure everything goes smoothly. So in today' s episode we' ll looking at language for guiding people on a tour and pointing out areas of interest. 參觀和游覽工廠有很多原因。那些來(lái)看產(chǎn)品是在哪兒生產(chǎn)的人很可能就是潛在的客戶,或許是是來(lái)自高層的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)來(lái)視察產(chǎn)品是否符合政府和內(nèi)部的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。你的工作就是安排好這樣的參觀,你希望在參觀時(shí)一切都能順利地進(jìn)行。所以在今天的這一集中我們要學(xué)習(xí)的是在參觀過(guò)程中引導(dǎo)參觀者參觀時(shí)要用的語(yǔ)句。
We' ll be listening to Ingrid taking Carl on a tour of a factory where GC cleaning products are produced. Carl is from the head office of GC and he' s inspecting the factory where Ingrid works. His job is to make sure that the company' s factories are all up to standard and capable of handling future orders. As the dialog starts, Carl has already arrived at the factory and met Ingrid, who is ready to start the tour. 接下來(lái)將聽(tīng)到是在GC清潔產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)工廠里,英格麗德和卡爾正在參觀途中交談??柺莵?lái)自GC公司的總部,正在視察卡爾工作的車間。他的主要任務(wù)是確保工廠能夠達(dá)標(biāo)地運(yùn)行,能夠應(yīng)付未來(lái)的訂單。對(duì)話開(kāi)始時(shí),卡爾已經(jīng)達(dá)到了工廠,見(jiàn)到了已經(jīng)做好參觀向?qū)?zhǔn)備的英格麗德。
