Hints on Hosting a Manger from Overseas

关于招待外国经理的提示

1) Take them to a famous restaurant, but let them order some of the food.

2) Don't fret if you are a newbie at hosting.

3) Ask them what they would like to be called.

4) Never offer them cigarettes!

5) Try to teach them a little Chinese. It is fun and useful.

4)切记不要向他们敬烟。

5)试着教他们一点儿中文。这很有意思，也很有用。

6)问问他们的家乡是哪里，但不要问他们为什么到中国来。

Diologue

Molly : Why are you running around like a chicken with its head cut off?

Gordon: I am hosting a manager from overseas. She told me she doesn't like Chinese food. Where can I take her?

Molly : I'll give you a hint. Try western restaurants inside major hotels.

Gordon: Will they have a good selection?

Molly : Don't fret. Most big hotels have at least two western restaurants.

Gordon: I didn't know that.

Molly : You sure are a newbie. But after hosting your first oversea manager, you will be an expert.

Gordon: Thanks a bunch. I don't know what I would do without you.

Molly : I do. You would run around like a chicken with its head off.

莫莉：你为什么像只没头苍蝇似的慌里慌张的?

戈登：我正在招待一位国外来的经理。她告诉我她不喜欢中国菜，我该带她到哪去?

莫莉：我给你个提议。试试大饭店里的西餐厅。

戈登：那有很多选择的余地吗?

莫莉：别担心，大多数大饭店最少有两家西餐厅。

戈登：我不知道这个。

莫莉：你确实是个新手，不过招待完一次外国经理，你就成行家了。

戈登：多谢。真不知道没有你我该怎么办。

莫莉：我知道。你会像只没头苍蝇似的跑来跑去。
