bMorning, Michael. I’ve been very busy lately. One of our other vendors is going out of business and I’ve been searching for a suitable replacement.
早,Michael。我最近非常忙,有一个推销员要不干了,我正忙于寻找合适的候选人。
aWell, rest assured that you can count on us to be here for the long run,please sit down. Coffee?
其他的推销员将确保你能长期依靠我们。请坐吧,来杯咖啡?
bNo, thanks. I’ve been trying to cut down on the caffeine.
不,谢了。我正试着减少咖啡因的摄入量。

我从来做不到这点。如果我早晨不喝咖啡,我就会很木讷。我们来谈正经事吧。
bYes. I’ve come to talk with you about ordering the eight megapixel cameras for our new MePhone. The demand for phone cameras is growing, and Pear has been falling behind in the market.
aThat’s great! I’m glad to hear that Pear has finally jumped on the bandwagon. Right now our contract is for the five megapixel cameras. Is Pear still interested in having those?
bNo, we’re changing all the cameras to eight megapixels. We were hoping that by making your company our sole supplier for cameras we could negotiate a better deal.
