1--I’m glad you could find time to meet with me, Mr. Johnson. I can’t think of a nicer environment for our meeting today, the ambiance here is lovely!
 
2--No problem, if possible I always combine business with pleasure. Now, let’s hear more about these chocolates you’re offering.
 
1--Well, as you know, I have recently become the sole distributor for Grangers Gourmet Bon-bons here in the United States. They’re a new manufacturer and are looking to break into the luxury market. Naturally, your restaurant sprang into my mind immediately. I think your brand exemplifies many of the same traits as Grangers and serving these chocolates would really add to your reputation for providing elegant, luxurious, first class dining.
 
2--Hmmm, sounds interesting... gourmet chocolates, where are they produced? Belgium?
 
1--Actually, the factory is located in Scotland.
 
2--Really? I didn’t think they were known for their luxury chocolate production...
 
1--That’s what makes this such a fantastic opportunity! The government is one hundred percent supportive of creating new export markets and has guaranteed a low tariff for all wholesale orders of over one thousand units. They’ve also reduced the red tape involved at customs as well. Here, I brought these especially for you, try one!
 
2--Oh, thanks. Mmm, hmm, creamy texture, smooth...
 
1--Unique, aren’t they? I bet you’ve never tasted anything like it! Quality is assured as I personally visit the factory to make sure no one’s cutting corners with the ingredients. Only the creme make it through inspection. Mr. Johnson:
 
2--Yes, very interesting flavors...Slightly spicy, very unique, that’s for sure. Exactly what ARE the ingredients?
 
1--I have it on highest authority that this traditional secret recipe has been handed down in the Granger family for generations. I’m sure you can keep a secret. Buttermilk, cacao beans, sugar and Haggis.
 
2--Haggis? What’s Haggis?
 
1--It’s a traditional Scottish delicacy; you take sheep’s liver, heart and lung and stuff it inside of the sheep’s stomach.
 
2--Ah, get back to you.
 
1--Mr. Johnson? Mr. Johnson?

1--很高興，你能找到時間來見我，約翰先生，我想不出會面的更好環(huán)境了，這兒的環(huán)境很不錯。
2--沒問題，如果可能，我總是將買賣和樂趣融合起來?，F(xiàn)在，我們來聽聽你們提供的巧克力。
1--正如你所知，我最近剛成為Grangers Gourmet Bon-bons的美國唯一經(jīng)銷商。他們是一家新廠，想快速挺近奢侈品市場，自然，我就馬上想到了你的飯店。我認(rèn)為你們展示了很有像Grangers這樣具有特色的品牌，為顧客提供這樣的巧克力會增加您提供優(yōu)雅，奢華，頂級食物的美譽(yù)。
2--聽起來很有意思，美食家巧克力，這是哪兒產(chǎn)的？比利時？
1--實際上，企業(yè)在蘇格蘭。
2--真的嗎？我認(rèn)為他們的奢華巧克力并不出名。
1--那恰恰是機(jī)遇。政府特別支持開拓國外市場，只要超過1千份的批發(fā)訂單都會享受到低價灌水。他們也減少了海關(guān)的辦事手續(xù)。我特意帶了些巧克力來，嘗嘗。
2--奶油質(zhì)地，口感爽滑
1--很特別，不是嗎？我敢打賭你從未吃過這樣的巧克力。我曾私下去企業(yè)參觀來確保產(chǎn)品不偷工減料，所以質(zhì)量有保證。只有精華從能通過監(jiān)察，約翰先生。
2--是的，很好的口味，有些芳香，很特別，這是肯定的。成分有什么？
1--我敢保證這是Granger 家族祖?zhèn)鞯膫鹘y(tǒng)秘方。我知道你會保守秘密。成分有: 酪乳, 可可豆,糖和羊肉雜碎布丁。
2--什么是“羊肉雜碎布丁”？
1--是種傳統(tǒng)的蘇格蘭做法：取下羊的肝臟，心和肺，然后將之填充在羊的胃里。
2--還是還給你吧。
1--約翰先生？約翰先生？
