Tara: Seriously darling, let's not talk business yet. Why you haven't even eaten.
認真的親愛的，我們還是不談業務了。 你為什么不去吃飯呢。
Paul: All right then, But let me tell you what the course was like anyway. You know, I've learned a lot. I am surprised that we're still in business.
好吧，但讓我告訴你這個課程是什么樣子。 你知道，我學到了很多。 我很驚訝我們公司竟然還在運營。
Tara: That's because we have a wonderful Sales Manager .... you!
那是因為我們有一個你這樣杰出的銷售經理嘛！
Paul: Thanks... but that's not the problem at all. Tara. our little company- and it is little compared to the giants in the city-our little company's in danger, We're out of date, we need to expand, If we don't, we'll be swallowed up by one of the giants.
謝謝...但這不是問題所在。 塔拉。 我們是一個小公司 - 我們與城市中的大公司沒法競爭 - 我們的小公司處于危險之中，我們公司已經過時了，我們需要擴大，如果我們不這樣做，我們將被其中一個 大公司給吞并了。
Tara: But if we are as small as you say. why should anyone want to take us over?
但是如果我們是象你說的一樣小。 為什么還有人想吞并我們？
Paul:Listen Tara. although we are small, we're competition to them... The big firms, I'm sure, would like to buy up our know-how and expand their sales even more.
聽著，塔拉。 雖然我們很小，可我們同他們競爭...我相信大公司想購買我們的專有技術，并擴大他們的銷售額。
Tara: Well, it seems from what you say that there's nothing we can do to stop them .... unless... heh, what about this special project?
好吧，從你說的話，似乎沒有什么可以阻止他們...除非...呃，那個特別的計劃怎么樣？
Paul: Ah, Ah, After lunch ....
啊，啊，午飯后...
Tara: Oh Paul.
哦保羅
Paul:Oh, that was a lovely meal. darling, it's so nice to eat in my own garden again!
哦 親愛的，真是一頓美餐。在我自己的花園里再次吃飯真是太美了！
Tara: Now Paul. You've had a shower and you've had your lunch, I want to know how my favourite Sales Manager is going to keep Jayal Motors in business!
保羅， 你澡也洗了，午飯也吃過了，現在我想知道我們最杰出的銷售經理將如何讓杰亞爾摩托的業務運營！
Paul:Well, it all started with this course, To my surprise my tutor asked me to do a special project on exporting, It gave me a lot of ideas ... for, well, Jayal Motors.
好吧，這一切都從這個課程開始的，令我驚訝的是，我的導師要求我做一個出口的特殊計劃，它讓我有了很多想法...對，杰亞爾 摩托。
Tara: Exporting?Paul, you're not serious?
出口？保羅，你是認真的？
Paul: That's why I didn't explain it to you on the phone. you see, Your father would think I was crazy,He might have called me back before the end of my project.
這就是為什么我沒有在電話里向你解釋。 你看，你的父親會認為我瘋了，他可能在我的計劃結束前叫我回來。
Tara: But where could we export to, Paul? Our farthest retailer's only 40 miles away ... and already you say we are threatened by the firms in Dabu. But in an export market, can you imagine? The Chinese ...
但我們可以出口到哪里，保羅？ 我們最遠的零售商只有40英里之內...而你已經說，我們受到達布市內大公司的威脅。 但在出口市場，你能想象嗎？ 中國人...
Paul: I know. I know. it's not easy, But even if we succeed only in a small way, It'll give us an edge on the market at home.
我知道。 我知道。 這是不容易的，但即使我們成功只有一小步，它會給我們在國內市場帶來優勢。
Tara. And all the extra costs? Where do we get the money?
而所有額外的成本？ 我們到哪里搞到那些錢？
Paul: I thought of that, We'll have to increase the number of shareholders and perhaps borrow money from the bank to get started and ...
我想到了那些問題了，我們必須增加股東的數量，或者從銀行借款，來最為開始...
Tara: Well, that suggestion is not going to be very popular for a start, I'm sorry, Paul. It's not going to be that easy, You see, father got this letter yesterday...
那么，這個建議一個開始是不會非常受歡迎的，對不起，保羅。 這不會那么容易，你看，父親昨天收到這封信...
Paul: And?
關于什么?
Tara: Well, he says we're in debt.
嗯，他說我們公司赤字。
Paul: In debt? .. oh, but that's impossible.
赤字？ 哦，但這是不可能的啊
