原汁原味商務英語播客第137課:Hosting a Dinner Party(2)

This is the second in a two-part Business English Pod lesson on hosting visitors. Today, we're going to look at drawing the evening to a close.

這是英語播客有關招待來訪者的第二部分。今天，我們將來學習如果結束晚上的聚餐。

Hosting visitors is a great way to get to know the people you do business with. Sharing a meal and drinks in someone's home can really help strengthen a relationship. It gives us a chance to get to know people on a more personal level. But at some point, the evening has to end.

招待來訪者是一個很好能夠了解你商業夥伴的機會。在朋友家裏一起吃喝確實能夠加強關係。聚餐讓你有機會更能從個人角度去了解你的生意夥伴。

In our last episode, we heard Tanya and Mark hosting Tanya's business colleagues, Grace and Lee. The group sat down to dinner and had very pleasant conversation about their home, family, and the food.

在上一集中，我們聽到了塔尼亞和麥克招待塔尼亞的生意同事，葛蕾絲和李。他們坐在一起享用了美妙的晚餐的同事，交流了他們的價，家庭和食物。

Today we're going to rejoin this group. They've had a lovely evening, but all good things must come to an end. Grace and Lee are going to draw the evening to a close and express their appreciation. We'll also hear the hosts and guests invite each other to future social events.

今天我們再一次聽見他們的對話。他們度過了一個很令人愉快的夜晚，但是所有好的事情都在最後。葛蕾絲和李正準備結束晚餐，並且要向主人表示謝意。我們還能聽到主人和客人相互邀請對方有機會參加以後的社交聚會。
