Narrator
欢迎回到 “白领英语” 节目。今天呐，是我们非常重要的一天，国际塑料大会可就是在今天举行。这也是 Tip Top 贸易公司好好地自我标榜、自我推荐的一个机会。等等！这是谁啊？哎呀，原来是美国的大老板 Mr. Socrates……

Mr Socrates
Hey, you guys, where [have] you been?

Paul
Ah, Mr. Socrates… nice to see you again. I'd heard you were in town.

Anna/Tom
Hello, Mr. Socrates.

Mr Socrates
I've been looking for you everywhere. I need to catch up with you and see how business is going.

Paul
Oh very, very well. We're selling Imperial Lemons to France, and Anna is developing plastic vegetables.

Mr Socrates
Ah, Anna! My favourite girl. Still doing a good job?

Anna
I’m doing my best.

Paul
In fact she's been doing my job for a few days… had a bit of a biscuit accident…

Mr Socrates
Yeah, well that's not hard for you, Paul. Listen, listen, I need to talk to you - shouldn't the others be doing some networking now?

Paul
Of course, that's why we’re here. Right, Tom, I need you to catch up with some of our existing customers – do some schmoozing. And Anna, could you talk to some potential new customers? I need to speak to Mr. Socrates.

Anna
Right. Erm, networking… what exactly am I supposed to do?

Narrator
“Networking” 搭建人际关系，就是啊，和行内的其他人士要相互沟通，保持联系。需要和不同的人见面、交谈、交流信息，相互地帮助。

Anna
So, I have to talk to strangers?

Narrator
Well, yes. 介绍自己， 告诉别人你在哪里工作。问问他们的公司都是干些什么的，做哪方面的业务。然后呢，还要介绍一下你的工作、产品、客户群等等的情况。如果要是合适的话，看看有没有合作的机会。 保持一个友好的态度，跟大家都多聊聊。

Anna
Thanks. I'll give it a try. Excuse me. Hello, I'm Anna. I work as a Sales Executive at Tip Top Trading… and you are?

Woman
Jane. Jane from Nice'n'Cheesy. It's very busy here today, isn't it?

Anna
It is. It's my first time here, but it's very exciting. I really didn't know what to wear.

Narrator
安娜，这就可以了，别忘了主要的目的可是工作。

Anna
Oh, yes, of course. So, can you tell me about your company, Nice'n'Cheesy?

Woman
Well, we sell cheese to London's top cheese shops - we like to say we're a wedge above the rest – a wedge of cheese. Get it?!

Anna
Err, right. Well, can I briefly tell you about what our company does? Our company – Tip Top Trading – makes plastic fruit mainly for the catering and food industry. We're up for an award today for one of our designs.

Woman
Smashing. That's quite interesting, actually. We have an issue with the fresh grapes we provide with our cheeses – they keep going mouldy.

Anna
Oh, dear.

Woman
Yes – sour grapes you could say! A good quality plastic grape would be useful to put with our cheese displays.

Anna
Well, I think we might be able to help you.

Narrator
当然可以了！这就是你交换名片的最好机会啊。

Anna
Well, if I could have your contact details, I'll send you one of our brochures and then give you a call about prices. And here's my business card should you want to call me.

Woman
That's fantastic. So nice to have met you – and I think what you're wearing for the conference is perfect.

Anna
Thanks!

Narrator
Bingo! 安娜好像找到了一个潜在的客户。她既保持了友好的态度，又没有忘了工作。她用到了以下一些表达方式：

Excuse me. Hello, I’m Anna. I work as a Sales Executive at Tip Top Trading
您好，我是安娜。我是 Tip Top 贸易公司的销售经理。

Can you tell me about your company?
您能告诉我，您的公司是做什么的吗？

Can I briefly tell you about what our company does?
我可以简单介绍一下我们公司的业务吗？

I think we might be able to help you.
我想我们能帮到您。

Here’s my business card should you want to call.
如果您有什么需要，这是我的名片，可以随时打电话给我。

Narrator
安娜已经开始了她的人际网络联系。嗯，干得还真是不错。像什么展览会、大型聚会、大型会议这些场合，可都是最适合发展人际关系的地方。Paul 和 Mr. Socrates 也都在场，不知道他们俩那儿怎样了。

Mr Socrates
It's a tough economic climate, Paul. We're already cutting out cookies in management meetings.

Paul
Oh, gosh.

Mr Socrates
And now we're cutting staff. We've already lost Rachel – my favourite sales executive.

Paul
Ah yes, well, she was stealing the pens.

Mr Socrates
Pens can be replaced, but not people like her.

Paul
Well…

Mr Socrates
But now it’s time to reduce your team, Paul – share the pain.

Paul
Are you sure?

Mr Socrates
Absolutely. By my calculations, you need to be rid of one member of staff.

Paul
Oh, well, let’s not tell the team until we’ve had the awards ceremony.

Mr Socrates
OK, Paul, but it's in your hands to sort this out.

Paul
Crumbs!

Narrator
Ah, yes. Tip Top 贸易公司即将在展会上拿到一个大奖。可是裁员的消息又会对团队产生什么样的影响呢？Paul 会做些什么呢？看样子我们要等下期节目再续了。

Nice ‘n’ Cheesy.
