千万别学英语高级篇第11课
larry: steve, james, how did the presentation go?
steve: don't ask.
james: oh, it wasn't that bad.
steve did really well; i think they are sold.
steve: they were until you told them that we were making the same product for their competitors. you never tell them that.
james: i am sorry, but i cannot lie just to make a sale. maybe that's why i'm terrible at sales.
steve: yeah, that's right. from now on you just stick to designing and programming, and leave the selling to me.
larry: don't be too hard on him, steve. mr. wang might appreciate his honesty. even if you have lied to him, he's a smart guy, especially when it comes to computers, and he probably would have known anyway. now he knows you guys and our company are honest; we'll just see what happens.
james: true. and besides, apple is really a tiny company when compared to all these pc giants. i don't think mr. wang feels threatened by them.
steve: i am sure we'll know soon enough.
