公司副總裁Jason到上海，由Gina接待。

Jason: Hello Gina! We've spoken so many times on the phone but's it's so good to finally meet you in person!

G: Hello sir. Good to meet you, too.

J: Oh, please don't call me "sir." Just call me Jason.

G: Ok, Jason. So how was the flight?

J: Pretty good. There was a bit of turbulence while we were over the Pacific Ocean but it wasn't too bad. The worst thing was the guy behind me. He snored all through the night!

G: Really? But you were in first class! Nobody woke that guy up?

Jason和Gina以前只在電話上溝通過，Jason說，it's so good to finally meet you in person, 見到你本人很高興。寒暄過后，Gina問Jason路上是否順利，Jason說，飛機在太平洋上空遇到氣流有些顛簸，turbulence is spelled t-u-r-b-u-l-e-n-c-e, turbulence，是氣流的意思。但最糟糕的是，坐在Jason后面的人打了一夜呼嚕。

J: The stewardess said it's not company policy to wake people up for any reason.

G: That's terrible! So you didn't get any sleep?

J: Not much...but that's ok...I'm a night owl anyway.

G: So, aside from visiting our factory and offices, are there any other things you want to accomplish while you're in China?

J: I'd love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall.

G: That's not a problem. We can have a company car take you there. It's only about a two hour drive.

空服拒絕把打呼嚕的人叫醒，因為it's not company policy，不符合公司規(guī)定。Jason說，自己反正是a night owl，夜貓子，所以問題不大。除了視察工作外，Jason說還想抽時間去爬長城，I'd love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall. Gina說，長城不遠，只要兩小時車程，所以沒問題。

J: Also...I'd like to do some shopping while I'm here.

G: Well, you've come to the right place! China is a shopping paradise. Name it - we've got it.

J: To be honest, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. But I need gifts for my wife, kids and I should bring something back for the senior partners of my firm as well.

G: Hum...I'd recommend silk for your wife. Maybe a bathrobe or perhaps a shawl. Silk dresses and shirts are good, too.

J: Yeah...that sounds good. But my wife is picky so I'll need your help to choose the right one. It should be classy and not too flashy.

G: I think I know just the store to visit. Leave it to me.

除了觀光，Jason還想購物，給太太、孩子和公司合伙人買禮物。Gina建議Jason給太太買絲綢制品。Jason說太太很 picky，picky is spelled p-i-c-k-y, picky，picky，是挑剔的意思，衣服要典雅classy, 不能過于招搖，flashy. Gina說，leave it to me，包在我身上。
