聽力每日練習 listen 3901 Spotlights
1-- We've got a problem...it looks like we'll need more spotlights on the exhibition booth. The client thinks it's too dark,and they want to add halogen lighting. We've already got 3 sets of track lighting from you guys,do you think you could help us out and throw in some halogens?
2--Oh...Um...I don't think so. you know the halogen lighting is much more expensive than your track lighting system. Plus I'm going to have to call in some guys to install it for you. That's not going to come cheap.
1-- But it would only be adding to the existing structure. We're not talking about anything new here...
2-- It doesn't matter because we will still have to call the electrician out, and they are union labor. It'll cost you a pretty penny....
1-- How much do you think it would cost?
2-- Ummm,I estimate it'll run in the neighborhood of ....$500 per light.
1-- $500per light?!That's ridiculous!It can't possibly be that expansive!
2--It is,I'll tell you why. We'll have to call in the electrician, he's going to charge overtime now because it's already 5PM, and it will probably take him an hour a light. Plus, the halogen lights take more electricity,so your electrical cost is going to be higher as well.
1-- Can't you give me a break on this?We've already spent so much money on lighting,I hate to have to blow so much more on halogens.
2-- No, that's the cost, and that's what it's going to cost us. We can't go in the hole with this. I am giving you my best price,so take it, or leave it.

1--我們遇到個問題,好像展覽棚還需要更多的聚光燈.那個客戶認為光線太暗了,他們想要增加鹵素燈.我們已經(jīng)從你們那里拿了3套軌道燈,你看你們能不能幫幫忙,再額外送一些鹵素燈?
2--哦...我看不行.你知道鹵素燈比你們的軌道燈照明系統(tǒng)要貴的多.再加上我還要請人給你們安裝.那可不是一點兒費用就能辦到的.
1--可是這只是在已有的構架上安裝.我們并沒有提出什么新的業(yè)務......
2--跟那個沒關系,因為我們還要召集電工,他們是工會的工人,你們得付不少錢...
1--你認為我們得花多少錢?
2--我估計加錢應該在...大約每個燈500美元.
1--一個燈500美元?!這太荒唐了!不可能有那么貴!
2--就有那么貴,我來告訴你原因.我們得請電工,因為現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是下午5點多了他們要收取加班費,而且每個燈可能要花一個小時才能安好.此外,鹵素燈比較費電,所以你們的電費也要上漲.
1--你不能給我算便宜點嗎?我們已經(jīng)在照明上花了很多錢了,我不想在鹵素燈上在浪費那么多錢.
2--不行,那是成本費,也是我們自己掏錢.我們不能為這個虧本.我給你們的是最低價,所以你們要么接受要么放棄.
