It will be a joint venture. 是的。參觀了許多地方，比如說(shuō)故宮、天壇和長(zhǎng)城。對(duì)了，在西安參觀時(shí)，我突然產(chǎn)生了一個(gè)想法：我們應(yīng)該在那里開(kāi)辦一家合資性質(zhì)的合成纖維廠。

　　Wang Ping: That's a great idea. We'll surely try our best to cooperate with you. We have many favorable conditions to run a joint wenture there. You can get full support from the local government there.那太好了。我們一定盡全力與貴方合作。我們有許多有利條件。貴方可以得到當(dāng)?shù)卣矫娴娜χС帧?/p>

　　Notes：

　　向別人表示歉意時(shí)，首先要承認(rèn)自己做錯(cuò)了事，或做出了不禮貌的行為，并且通常要說(shuō)明原因，表示遺憾。最簡(jiǎn)單的道歉方式是說(shuō)I'm sorry。但這往往不夠，還需要對(duì)你所做的錯(cuò)事做出解釋之后，做出改正和改進(jìn)的許諾，表示不會(huì)讓錯(cuò)誤再次發(fā)生。如果你真的做錯(cuò)了事，給對(duì)方造成傷害或帶來(lái)不利的影響，這時(shí)做無(wú)謂的解釋?zhuān)荒苡w彌彰，效果相反。
