Mr. Jones: Mary! I haven’t seen you since our dinner with Mr. Lee last week. Where have you been hiding yourself lately?
Mary! 自从上星期我们和李先生吃过饭后就没见到你了。你最近藏到哪儿去了？
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。你有什么事吗？
Mr. Jones: Really, nothing big. I just heard about your ideas on employee 1 motivation and I wanted chat with you about a few things going on in my department.
其实没什么重要的事情。我刚听说你有关提高员工积极性的一些想法，我想和你聊聊我部门里的一些事情。
Miss Lewis: Well, feel free to drop by my office any time. The door’s always open.
好的，随时可以到我办公室来谈，我非常欢迎.
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.
其实，我希望在轻松的气氛中谈正事儿。这周你愿意和我一起去吃晚餐吗？
我觉得我们可以去那家意大利餐厅，风乎每个人都说起这家餐厅。
Miss Lewis: Sure, Mike, I’d love to.
没问题，Mike, 我很愿意。
Mr. Jones: Is this evening too soon?
要是今晚，时间是不是太紧了？
