陈豪这个小伙子在ABC美国公司做得不错。今天老板又给他一个重要的任务。 是什么任务呢? 你听听就知道了。


(Office ambience)


C: Hi, Mary. Do you have a minute? I need your help.


M: Sure. What is it?


C: 公司的部几位高层领导人这星期从美国到这里来访问。我的老板让我今天晚上陪其中的一位,Mr. Johnson去参加我们客户举行的招待会。


M: Well, aren't you flattered 1 that your boss asked you to do that?


C: Yes, I am. 不过,去招待会我就得把Mr. Johnson介绍给我们的客户和在场的其他公司的同事。 I 'm not confident that I can do it correctly.


M: It's simple. You need to remember three rules. Rule #1: always introduce people of lesser 2 rank to people of greater rank.


C: 把级别低的人介绍给级别高的人。OK, rule #2。


M: Rule #2 is to say the name of the most important person first.


C: 噢,先说最重要的人的名字。那Mr. Johnson今天就是最重要的人物了。


M: No, 在你把他介绍给我们客户的时候,他就没有客户那么重要了。


C: 那倒是。Without clients 3 we would have no business。所以我得先说客户的名字,再把Mr. Johnson介绍给他们。Mary, 让我先回去练练。一会儿我再来找你。


M: No problem。


******


M: 陈豪,你刚才急忙走了,我还没说Rule #3呢!


C: Rule #3是什么呀?


M: 在说了最重要的人的名字后,你该说: I would like to introduce so and so to you。


C: 让我试一试。要是客户的名字是Smith,我该说: Mr. Smith, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Johnson。对吗?


M: No, 不对。你应该说: Mr. Smith, I would like to introduce Mr. Johnson to you。要是你把我介绍给Mr. Johnson你该怎么说?


C: 我该说: Mr. Johnson, I would like to introduce Mary to you.


M: That' correct。这里的差别似乎很微妙,但是很重要。我们再来复习一遍。


C: OK。 Rule #1,always introduce people of lesser rank to people of greater rank。


M: 对,要是我把你陈豪介绍给Mr. Johnson, 我该说: Mr. Johnson, I would like to introduce Chen Hao to you。


C: 这已经符合Rule #2: say the name of the most important person first。


M: Rule #3刚才已经说了。OK, you're all set. Good luck tonight and enjoy!
