Tom:Ah, there you are Paul! Come in, Come in,

啊，保羅來了！進來，進來，

Paul：How are you, Kamal?

你好，卡馬爾

Kamal: Fine, thank you. Paul. How was your course?

好，謝謝。保羅。你的課程怎么樣？

Paul: I enjoyed it very much, It's given me some interesting ideas.

我非常喜歡這次學習，它給了我一些有趣的想法

Kamal: So I've heard.

和我聽說的一樣。

Tom: Drink, Kamal?

喝點什么，卡馬爾？

Kamal: Yes, an orange juice please, In this hot, dusty weather, I get rather thirsty, It's not the weather for alcohol.

是的，請來一個杯橙汁，在這個炎熱，多塵的天氣，搞得我相當渴，這天氣根本不適合喝酒精飲料。

Tom: Paul?

保羅？

Paul: Same for me please.

我也一樣吧。

Tom: Now, here you are.

好了，請用吧.

Kamal: Thanks, Tom

謝謝湯姆

Paul: Thanks, Cheers

謝謝，干杯

Kamal: Cheers .... Well, to business.

干杯 ...嗯 為生意干杯

Tom: Kamal can maybe talk some sense into you about this exporting idea.

卡馬爾請你談談對的出口想法的建議

Kamal: Well it's true the company's present size doesn't seem to offer much encouragement to expansion of that kind ..

嗯，這倒是真的，以公司現(xiàn)有的規(guī)模似乎并不能太鼓勵這種擴張。

Tom: Especially with problems from the tax revenue office.

特別是稅務局出現(xiàn)了問題

Paul: Yes, I heard about that from Tara, Tom.

是的，湯姆，我聽塔拉說了。

Tom:Yes, strange that business.

是的，奇怪的事。

Kamal: All that's been cleared up, I checked with the tax office as soon as you phoned, Tom. It seems there's been a misunderstanding. Their letter, they said, was routine, In your case it was prompted by an anonymous phone call, the government, as you know, has been encouraging people to report those they suspect of tax evasion,

所有的一切都已經(jīng)搞清楚了，湯姆，你給我打電話后，我就和稅務局核實了。似乎有一個誤會。他們說，他們的信是例行公事，你的情況下，是由一個匿名電話的引起的，如你所知，政府鼓勵人們舉報他們懷疑逃稅的。

Paul:Anonymous phone call eh? That is strange.

匿名電話  哦？那很奇怪

Kamal:Well, there's no problem there now.

嗯，現(xiàn)在沒事了。

Paul: Ok. So what do you think of my idea to move into exporting?

好的。所以你認為我打算出口的想法如何？

Kamal: Well, as I've already said, the company's only small ...

嗯，正如我已經(jīng)說過的，公司只是有點兒小。

Tom: What did I tell you, Paul?

我跟你說什么來著，保羅？

Kamal:...But that's no reason to throw the export idea out of the window.

但這不是把出口的想法拋出窗外的理由

Tom. Oh?

哦？

Paul: Go on, Kamal,Let's hear what you have to say.

繼續(xù)，卡馬爾，讓我們聽聽你說的話

Kamal:Well, the bank might be able to do something, We're very keen on small, quality firms expanding, Exporting could interest us, But finance is not the main problem.

好的，銀行能夠做一些事情，我們非常熱衷于小型，優(yōu)質(zhì)公司的擴張，出口可能對我們感興趣，但金融不是主要問題。

Tom:Not the main problem, but ...?

不是主要的問題，那...?

Kamal:What I mean, Tom, is your chief concern is planning, Planning and prudence, I think you're already aware of that, Paul.

我的意思是，湯姆，你主要要關注的是規(guī)劃，規(guī)劃和審慎，我想你已經(jīng)知道了，保羅

Paul:Yes, I'm preparing a feasibility study now.

是的，我現(xiàn)在正在準備可行性研究

Kamal: Good, As for the finance, the bank could offer loans for expansion and export credit.

好的，對于金融，銀行可以提供擴張用的貸款和出口信貸

Tom:But what about the risk, Kamal? We're talking about a lot of money.

但是，風險，卡馬爾？我們在談論很多錢

Kamal: Your record with the bank is good, Tom. your business is small but very efficient and your mopeds are of high quality.

你在銀行的記錄很好，湯姆。你的業(yè)務很小，但非常高效，你的輕便摩托車是高品質(zhì)的

Tom: I see, Well, that's very helpful but I'm still not convinced.

我知道，那么，這是非常有益的了，但我仍然不相信。

Kamal: I realize that Tom, but let's leave it till we've seen Paul's feasibility study.

我理解你，湯姆，但讓我們先等等看，直到我們看到保羅的可行性研究后。

Tom:I feel there's enough work involved in consolidating our position at home. That's the priority at the moment, I'll give you two weeks to do the feasibility stdy, Paul, That's all.

我認為鞏固我們在國內(nèi)的地位需要做足夠的工作。這是當前的優(yōu)先事項，我給你兩個星期做可行性研究，保羅，就這樣。

Paul: Right, It'll be ready in two weeks, Thanks for your help. Kamal.

好的，兩個星期就可以準備好，卡馬爾，感謝您的幫助。

Kamal: That's all right, Don't forget the bank has a 10% share in Jayal Motors.

沒關系，不要忘記銀行在賈亞爾摩托有10％的股份的。

Paul: That's a good enough motive.

這是一個很好的動機
