Going on a business trip
出差時
This unit and the next unit are both about going on business trips
abroad. They contain several conversations on topics such as airport
front desk, arrival, asking for directions.
本單和下單元都是在討論出國出差的事，本單元包含幾個主題的對話例如到機場
服務台抵達詢問方向。
Joseph is going on a business trip to New York. He talks about it with
his friend Dianne.
Joseph 將要出差到紐約。他和他朋友 Dianne 談論著關於出差的事。
Joseph:
Hello Dianne, how are you ?
哈囉 Dianne，你好嗎？
Dianne:
Hey Joe, I’m fine, thank you. What have you been up to? We haven’t
Spoken for so long！
嘿 Joseph，我很好，謝謝。妳最近一直在忙什麼？我們有一段時間
沒聊天了！
Joseph:
Yeah, I know. I’ve been really busy lately. I am going on a business trip
to New York in two weeks. Is there something you want me to bring you
back from the Big Apple?
對阿，我知道。我最近非常忙。我在 2 個禮拜內將要到紐約出差。
你有什麼東西想要我從紐約帶回來給你嗎？
Dianne:
That’s very nice of you. But don’t worry about bringing me back things.
I know how business trips can be, with the tight schedule and jetlag and
everything. Just pick something up for me at the airport duty-free, a little
souvenir or something would be nice.
你人真的很好。但是別擔心要帶些什麼東西回來給我。我知道出差時
會怎麼一回事，隨著緊湊的行程，時差和許多事情。只要幫我在機場的
免稅商店挑一些東西像小紀念品就很好了。
Joseph:
Yeah sure, I can do that.
當然阿，我可以做到。
Dianne:
Thank you, What’s the trip for ?
謝謝你，你這趟出差的目的是？

Joseph: Well, for several things. Mainly it is to attend this convention and the
company has assigned a colleague and me as representatives. I am really
excited to go to this event. It is supposed to be one of the most
prestigious conventions in the industry. Many famous people are
expected to be there and present their latest research.
有一些事，主要目的是參加公司指派同事和我為代表人員去參加大型會
議。出差去參加這件事我很興奮。那是企業上最有名望之一的會議。
很多知名人士會在那發表新的研究。
Dianne:
So how long are you going to stay in New York?
所以你將會在紐約待多久？
Joseph:
I am scheduled to leave for NYC on the 20th and come back on the 23rd.
我應該是 20 號前往紐約，23 號回來。
