   Jim要去参加一次公司庆典活动,特别正式。他问同事Gary,参加这种社交活动有哪些注意事项。


  J: Have you ever been to a black-tie event?
  G: Twice actually....and to be honest, it was a bit boring both times.
  J: Aside from the tuxedo 1 is there anything else I need to wear or take with me?
  G: I suggest keeping all other accessories to a minimum.
  J: I see. Any other tips or suggestions?
  G: Keep your eyes open and just sort of do what everybody else does. And...don't get drunk or talk too loud or draw any attention to yourself!
  J: Okay, good points.
  Gary说,自己参加过两次这种要穿礼服打领结的 black-tie event, 觉得很无聊。他建议Jim, 最好 keep all other accessories to a minimum尽量少带装饰品,accessory is spelled a-c-c-e-s-s-o-r-y, accessory 是指手表、手袋等饰物,他还告诉Jim, 睁大眼睛看别人怎么做,特别要注意 don't get drunk 不要喝醉,don't talk too loud 说话声音不要太大,don't draw any attention to yourself 不要让别人注意到自己。
  G: You and Henry are acting 2 as representatives of the company so you're kind of like ambassadors.
  J: Wow. Now I'm really stressed!
  G: It's not that hard. Just be a good conversationalist and even more importantly, be a good listener. If someone makes a humorous remark, chuckle 3 mildly; even if the comment isn't very funny. And remember, always smile!
  Gary说,Jim跟Henry这次去参加晚宴,代表的是公司,you're kind of like ambassadors. 是公司使节。Jim听后表示,压力很大,Now I'm really stressed. Gary告诉他说,其实这项任务也不难完成,他们只要会聊天 be a good conversationalist,做个好听众就行了,别人讲笑话,就算不好笑,也要chuckle跟着笑两声,脸上要随时随地保持笑容。
  J: Can I rent the tux in New York?
  G: Absolutely. Do some research before you go and find a good rental 4 company. They will probably deliver it to your hotel. Make sure the tuxedo fits well....otherwise; you can end up looking pretty silly.
  J: How much should I expect to pay to rent a tux?
  G: I'd say roughly $100. You could probably find some cheaper options, but you want to look good.
  J: Thanks Gary.... I really appreciate your help.
  G: Not at all. It should be an interesting experience for you.
  J: I hope so.
  Jim想知道能不能到纽约去租tux, tux is spelled t-u-x, tux, tux是 tuxedo 的简称。Gary建议Jim事先查一下,找一家服务周到、能送货上门的租赁公司,They can deliver it to your hotel. 他们可以把燕尾服送到 Jim下榻的旅店。Gary还建议Jim一定要穿上试试看,otherwise, you can end up looking pretty silly. 否则如果不合适的话,那你看上去会很傻的。Gary最后还告诉Jim, 燕尾服的租金应该在100美元上下。
