Dialogue 1
K:Hi Isaiah? How are you?
I: I'm well. And you?
K:Fine. How's your job going?
I:I don't know if I told you or not, but I decided to start my own business. K:Really? That's fantastic. What kind of business is it?
I:I've started an investment banking firm with some of my old colleagues from Goldman Sachs(高盛投资公司).
K:How's it going?
I:It started off (开始)a bit slow, but now, business is really booming!
K:That's such great news. I'm really happy for you! Where is your office located?
I:Our head office is here in Beijing, but we're planning on opening up two more offices soon.
K:Where will those be located?
I:If all goes well, we'll open one up in Hong Kong in April and another one in Singapore in October.
K:When will you find out(决定)?
I:We're negotiating the final details of the leasing contracts(租赁合同)tomorrow.
K:Well, good luck! I hope it all goes well(进展顺利)for you tomorrow!
I:Thanks!
Dialogue 2
I: I've got bad news.
K: What's that?
I: My new company is in danger of (处于...的危险中)going bankrupt(破产)! K: Oh, no! How did that happen? I thought you said business was going well? I: It was going well. We have plenty of satisfied clients.
K: What's the problem then?
I : The CFO started using our client base(客户群,基本顾客)to work on deals of his own.
K: So he was getting paid by your company and making a profit on your clients? I: Yes. It's so horrible! I invested all of my savings into(投资)this company and then my own friend used me(利用我)!
K: What a thief! What are you going to do about it?
I : Well, for starters(首先), I had to fire him.
K: It must have been hard to fire a friend.
I : I thought it would be difficult, but he made it easy for me by stealing from me!
K: What else are you going to do?
I: I've got to hire someone who can look through(详细检查)our finances and re-do(重做)the books.
K:Do you have anyone to work on recruitment?
I: No. Do you know anyone who is looking for a job as a CFO(Chief Financial Officer首席财务官)?
K: No, but I could help you look. I work for a head-hunting (猎头服务)agency, you know.
I: Fantastic! I'll give you 10% of his first two months' salary if you can find someone for me soon.
K: Not a problem. (没问题。)I'll start looking immediately.
I: Thanks a million!(万分感激!)At least I have a few friends left whom I can count on(指望,依靠)!

A:Hi, Col, what can I do for you?
C:If you have a few minutes, I’d like to talk to you about my future at this company.
A:Sure, have a seat(请坐).
C:Thanks.
A:Let me just grab your file(调出你的档案). How long have you worked for us now?
C:I've worked here as a sales representative for about a year now.
A:One year already, it's amazing how time flies(时间过得真快)like that. Are you enjoying your job?
C:Yes, but I'd like to have a chance at(在...有机会)job advancement(升职). A:I see. What job did you have in mind(考虑,想到)?
C:Well, I've noticed that there is a position available as a sales manager.
A:Do you understand what duties that job would entail?
C:Yes, I'll be directly responsible for all of the sales representatives in my department. I assume there’d be more meetings, paper work(日常文书工作)and other responsibilies,too.
A:That's right. Do you have any experience in management?
C:Yes, in fact if you look at my resume you can see that I was a manager before I started this job.
A:Well, I think you'd be the perfect candidate for the position. According to company policy, you still have to go through(通过)the formal application procedures though,so fill this application form in(填写)and I'll call you for an interview next week.
C:Ok, thanks for your support.
Dialogue 2
C:Are you ready for the meeting?
A:Yes, come on in(进来吧). How is your new job going?
C:It's challenging, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit(adv.相当多).
A:That's great. I knew you’d do a good job as a manager.
C:Thanks a lot.
A:How is your assistant manager getting on(进展)?
C:Well, that's part of the problem. His probation period(试用期,见习期)is off tomorrow, but I don't think he is ready to pass.
A:What seems to be the problem?
C:Well, he was supposed to be able to learn his job in 30 days, but he just doesn't seem to know what he is doing.
A:If you give him another 30 days, do you think he could figure out by then? C:To be honest, he has no authority. He is a hard worker but no one listens to him.
A:I see, not everyone is cut out(合适的)to work in management.
C:I know, it would be great if we could transfer him to(调转到)a department where he doesn't have to work with people.
A:There is an opening(空缺的职位)in the creative design department. It involves working with computers.
C:That's perfect, I'll let him know tomorrow. Thanks.

A: It'll be sad to see you go, but it sounds like you've found yourself a great opportunity.
M: I have.I feel lucky.I look forward to dealing with overseas companies and at the same time having a chance to use English more.
A: I'm sorry to bring this up(提出)now, but would it be possible for you to write me a letter recommendation before you go?
M: Of course I can. In fact, if there are any other job opportunities at this new company. I'll recommend you personally.
A: Thanks. I appreciate that.(我很感激/我很欣赏这一点)

语口语场景对话,日常生活必备! 来自网络 一、打招呼 1. How are you doing你好吗 美国人见面时候最常用的打招呼方式就是:"Hey! How are you doing" 或是"How are you" 不然"How's going" 也很常见。我觉得这种每天跟别人打招呼的习惯,就是跟美国友人建立良好关系的开始。很多人都觉得美国人很冷漠,不跟自己打招呼,但自己又何尝不是对美国友人很冷漠呢 : 2. What's up什么事 "What's up" 也是很常用的一种打招呼方式。比方说朋友在路上看到你跟你说"Hey! " 那你通常就可以回答说"Hi! What's up" 这就是问对方近来怎样, 有什么事吗通常如果没什么事人家就会说"Not much." 不过还有一种情况也很常见,你先跟人家说"Hey! What's up" 那别人也不说"Not much",反而反问一句"What's up" 所以"What's up" 已经变成有点Hello! 的味道在里面了. "What's up" 也常被用来问人家有什么事例如有人登门拜访, 你就会说"What's up" 到底有何贵干啊总之"What's up" 在美国应用的很广,各位一定要熟记才是。 3. Could you do me a favor能不能帮我一个忙 & 人是不能独自一个人活的, 需要别人帮忙的地方总是很多, 所以就可以常讲:"Could you do me a favor" 或是"Could you give me a hand" 这算是比较正式而礼貌的讲法。有时候要请别人帮忙还不太好意思说,就可以说:Could you do me a little favor 能不能帮我一个小忙其实也许是帮大忙但也要先讲成小忙,先让对方点头才是(注意一下这里用could you 会比can you 来的客气一点)。 另外, "Can you help me" 也很常见,通常比如说我们去买东西,可是店员自己在聊天,我就会说, "Can you help me" 其实正常来说, 应该是他们主动会问"Can I help you" 或是"May I help you" 才对,但有时实在等不急了, 就直接先问了"Can you help me" 4. What are you studying你主修什么的
