bbc english at work office episode 5: introductions, doing lunch
bbc白领工作英语第5集：办公室介绍
narrator: 上周 anna 得到了 tip top 贸易公司的销售专员职位。这还得归功于 anna 面对紧 急情况头脑清楚，反应快，处理问题得当。今天是她上班的第一天。how are you feeling now, anna?
anna: excited, but a bit worried. i really want to make a good first impression.
narrator: 没事儿，我教你几句和别人初次见面时常用的一些表达，比如：
你好，我们好像以前没见过面。hello, i don't think we've met.
你一定是 tom. you must be tom.
我刚加入公司。i've just joined the team.
很高兴认识你。nice to meet you.
你在这儿工作有一些年头了吧？have you worked here long?
你看公司的销售经理 tom darcy 就在那边，你快去打个招呼吧。
tom: (on the phone) yah, no, yah, yah, yah, ok. i'll seal the deal, yah, no worries. yah, alright, see ya mate, bye. (hangs up)
anna: hello, i don't think we've met.
tom: no.
anna: you must be tom. i'm anna. i've just joined the team.
tom: uh huh.
anna: nice to meet you. have you worked here long?
tom: sorry, i'm quite busy right now – i've got a big deal just coming through. but let's get together sometime. um... can you do lunch tomorrow?
anna: you want me to do lunch? well, i'm not very - (telephone rings)
tom: sorry, important client. lunch tomorrow at 12.30 then? (on the phone) tom speaking. yah! frankie! so what's the latest, are we on?
anna: well, ok then.
narrator: 真棒！anna, 你用了些挺好的表达来介绍你自己。遗憾的是 tom 好像对你有点儿爱 搭不理的。
anna: i'm sure he's just busy. but i'm a bit worried about tomorrow! (the next day…)
anna: (struggling into the office carrying cooking implements) good morning paul!
paul: good morning anna, are you ok?
anna: fine, the kitchen's through there, isn't it?
paul: er, yes. (kitchen noises as anna starts preparing lunch)
denise: anna!
anna: oh hi, denise!
denise: what are you doing?
anna: cooking lunch for tom.
denise: you what?
anna: tom asked me to have lunch ready for 12.30.
denise: did he indeed?
tom: er, anna.
anna: hi tom!
tom: what are you doing?
anna: spring rolls, followed by crispy duck in black bean sauce.
tom: no, i mean, why are you cooking?
anna: well, if i don't start now, it won't be ready for you by 12.30.
tom: oh, you misunderstood me, anna. when i said "can you do lunch?" it didn't mean "can you make lunch?" it meant "are you available to come to lunch with me?" in a cafe or something.
anna: oh!
paul: mmm... something smells good, but what's going on here?
denise: anna thinks it's her job to cook for people!
anna: no, no, i misunderstood!
tom: anna just got a bit confused.
paul: well, never mind, it looks tasty.
anna: there's enough for everyone if you want some.
paul: i think that's a splendid idea, we can have an office picnic!
anna: yes!
paul: mmm, that sauce looks delicious.
anna: yes, it's my favourite.
narrator: 看来 anna 今天这个头儿还开的不错。让我们一起回顾一下她刚才用到的一些表达：
hello, i don't think we've met.
you must be tom.
i've just joined the team.
nice to meet you.
have you worked here long?
narrator: 记住如果有人对你说 "would you like to do lunch?" 意思可不是说让你给他们做午餐。这句话的实际意思是我们一起吃个午饭吧。好了，下次节目再会。
