Narrator: 大家好！歡迎再次收聽《白領英語》。最近 Tip Top 貿(mào)易公司員工們手上的活兒都很多，不過已經(jīng)忙得焦頭爛額的 Anna 剛聽說自己需要為新研發(fā)的塑料茄子舉辦一個產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會。這個產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會要在周末舉辦，可是到現(xiàn)在連場地都還沒定。看樣子 Anna得需要大伙兒好好幫幫她！

(In Paul’s office)

Paul: So Anna, I’m sorry Tom didn’t tell you but do you think you can turn　something round by Friday?

Anna: I’ll try, but what do I need to do?

Paul: Oh not much, book a room somewhere, send out some invites… arrange　some food… and drink… that sort of thing.

Anna: That’s all?!

Paul: You can do it - you’re great at this kind of thing. And get the team to help.

Anna: Well, I’ll give it a go. See you later.

Paul: Thanks Anna. (Calling out) Oh, and don’t forget to order some of those　posh Belgian chocolate biscuits, they always go down well.

(Door shuts)

Narrator: 哎呀呀 Anna, 看樣子你的任務很艱巨。不過就像 Paul 所說，你肯定能做好的，沒問題！

Anna: Thanks.

Tom: Are you OK Anna? You look a bit worried.

Anna: I am. You forgot to tell me about the product launch on Friday and now　Paul wants me to organise it.

Tom: Did I? Oh sorry. Look, if I can help in any way just let me know.

Anna: Well, you could book a venue for the launch.

Tom: Ahh, yeah… just remembered I’ve got some Imperial Lemons I need to　send out. Maybe later, yeah?

Anna: (Sighs) How am I going to find a venue for the launch at such short notice?

Narrator: 別著急。你可以先問問別人有沒有好的場地給你推薦，要么你上網(wǎng)搜索一下，再不然看看黃頁電話簿里收錄的場地有沒有適合的，可以打幾個電話問問。你可以問 “Could I　check the availability for your venue please? 請問你們的場地預定情況怎么樣？”；然后再問“What business facilities do you have? 你們的場地提供哪些設備？”還有 “How many people can the room or venue hold? 你們的場地能容納多少人？”。你還可以問“Can you provide hospitality？ 你們能提供餐飲酒水服務嗎？”最后，別忘了問“How much does it cost? 租這樣一個場地得多少錢？”

Anna: Thanks, there’s a lot to ask. (To Denise) Hi Denise, I’ve got to book a　venue for our plastic aubergine launch. Have you any ideas?

Denise: Well, my friend Marge works for a hotel company that has conference　facilities. You could give her a call. Here’s her number.

Anna: Oh thanks Denise. Let’s give it a try… 0–2–0–7–5–6–9–2.

Marge: Hello, the Pitz Hotel. Margery speaking.

Anna: Oh hi, this is Anna from Tip Top Trading, I’m a friend of Denise’s.

Marge: Oh hi Anna. I’ve heard all about you. What are you ringing for?

Anna: I need to check availability for your venue for a product launch we’re　doing.

Marge: Right! Well, I’m sure I can help. We do have a conference room. When is it　for?

Anna: This Friday.

Marge: Friday! This Friday? Well… that’s a bit tricky: the room is being decorated　at the moment.

Anna: Oh.

Marge: But we do have a smaller room that you could use – it’s got a lovely view　of the car park.

Anna: I see… and how many people does it hold?

Marge: You could easily squeeze in about 20 people.

Anna: 20 people. I guess it will have to do. Do you have any business facilities –somewhere to plug in the laptop, projector, wi-fi, that sort of thing?

Marge: Oh yes, yes, we’re very hi-tech. We even have a fax machine!

Anna: And can you provide hospitality too?

Marge: Of course! We do a ‘business platter’ consisting of orange juice, wine,　canapés – that really means cheese and pineapple on sticks.

Anna: I wonder, can you also provide Belgian chocolate biscuits?

Marge: I’m sure we can.

Anna: That’s great. And most importantly, how much does it cost?

Marge: Well, to book the room for 2 hours usually costs ￡1,000. The hospitality is　extra but as you’re a friend of Denise, I’ll throw it in for nothing.

Anna: You’ll throw the food and drink in?! Won’t that get messy?

Marge: No - I mean we’ll provide it for free. Just don’t tell anyone, otherwise　everyone will expect it!

Anna: Well, that’s fantastic Marge. Thanks. If you can send us an invoice, we’ll　sort payment out as soon as possible.

Marge: Bye Anna, and tell Denise I’ll see her for our Zumba class tomorrow.

Narrator: Anna 又一次轉(zhuǎn)危為安，新產(chǎn)品塑料茄子發(fā)布會將如期舉行。如果你需要為商務會議或產(chǎn)品發(fā)布找場地的話，下面的這些表達你應該會用的上：

Could I check availability for your venue please?

What business facilities do you have?

How many people can the room or venue hold?

Can you provide hospitality?

How much does it cost?

Denise: So Anna, was Marge any help?

Anna: Yes. She found me a room and gave me a good deal. We just need to　invite our clients now.

Denise: I can do that. I think it’s best if I call them - there’s no time to post out　invitations.

Anna: Good idea.

Denise: But I just need to give Marge a call first, just to check a few things.

Tom: Typical Denise. Nothing’s more urgent than talking to Marge!

Narrator: Tom 可真能說呀！不過看來想要搞定什么事情，找 Anna 肯定沒錯兒。下集節(jié)目我們接著看 Anna 還有什么其它本領。再見！
