地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客905：為商務(wù)事宜預(yù)定活動(dòng)場(chǎng)地

Roberto: All right, we have to find meeting rooms and a banquet hall for the annual sales meeting and luncheon. Do you have any ideas?

　　羅伯托：好了，我們得去找找會(huì)議室和宴會(huì)廳，要舉辦年度銷(xiāo)售會(huì)議和午宴了。你有什么好主意嗎?

　　Nicole: We could hold it at a hotel as we’ve done in past years or we can try the convention center.

　　尼科爾：我們可以就像去年那樣選個(gè)旅館，或者說(shuō)今年可以試試在會(huì)議中心。

　　Roberto: The company has grown so much in the past year. I don’t think the hotel has the capacity we need. The convention center sounds like a better option.

　　羅伯托：去年公司規(guī)模擴(kuò)大了，我覺(jué)得旅館的容不下。會(huì)議中心聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。

　　Nicole: The advantage of the hotel is that it has in- house catering and waitstaff for the luncheon.

　　尼科爾：旅館方便的地方就是那配有室內(nèi)酒席和午宴服務(wù)人員。

　　Roberto: Yes, but we can bring in outside catering, which would give us more food options. The large convention center rooms will also allow us to configure the space the way we want it.

　　羅伯托：是啊，可是我們舉行室外酒席，我們就有機(jī)會(huì)選擇更多的食物種類(lèi)了。會(huì)議中心挺大的，這樣我們就可以隨意布置了。

　　Nicole: But the hotel meeting rooms have built-in A/V. I’m not sure that’s available at the convention center.

　　尼科爾：可是旅店的會(huì)議室里配有內(nèi)嵌式A/V, 我不確定會(huì)議中心有沒(méi)有。

　　Roberto: All right, I think we should visit both venues and book after we’ve met with the event managers. Agreed?

　　羅伯托：好，我認(rèn)為我們可以來(lái)給你個(gè)都去看看，見(jiàn)到項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理后再預(yù)定。行嗎?

　　Nicole: Agreed. And we’ll need to sample the catering options, right?

　　尼科爾：行。我們需要抽樣調(diào)查一下酒席承辦服務(wù)，對(duì)吧?

　　Roberto: Of course. What are expense accounts for?

　　羅伯托：當(dāng)然，賬單里都含什么?
