千万别学英语高级篇第6课
james: i'm back.
steve: here is your coffee. you feeling better?
james: i feel like a champ. where should we begin?
steve: as always, it's best to begin at the beginning. what have you prepared for your meeting with wang?
james: basically, i just have an outline of a presentation of our company's new software. i think our product is high quality and that the people from wang willrealize that once they hear a description of it.
steve: well james, that is a little too simple. we know the product is good, but we have to convince them of that too. luckily, i put together a vedio presentation on my notebook computer using our software. if they like the presentation, and i am confident they will, then that automatically means that they like our company's product.
james: steve, that's why you are at the top of sales. you think of everything in advance. i'm really just a computer software engineer; i can make this stuff but i can't sell it.
steve: of course you can't. that's why mr. barnes put us together. i'll take care of selling the software, and you can answer any tough technical question that the people from wang might ask. i'm as bad at science as you are at sales.
james: steve, you're too modest. you're great at sales, but i know you know something about computers too. i still remember when we first started working here; you taught me a thing or two about apple macintosh computers.
steve: sure i know about macs, but that's just because i used one all through college. plus, any dummy can use a mac.
james: i couldn't.
steve: not at first. but after about three days, you were already better than me.
james: okay, okay. so i'm a computer nerd.
