Good morning, Angela. How have you been lately?
早上好Angela。 你最近怎麼樣啊？
Morning, Michael. I‘ve been very busy lately. One of our other vendors is going out of business and I’ve been searching for a suitable replacement.
早啊Michael。 我最近很忙。 其中一個供應商破產了所以我要找一家合適的做替換。
Well, rest assured that you can count on us to be here for the long run. Please sit down. Coffee?
嗯，這點你可以對我們放心，我們可以長期合作。請坐吧，喝點咖啡嗎？
No, thanks. I’ve been trying to cut down on the caffeine.
不用了謝謝。 我在試著減少我的咖啡因攝入量。
Haha, I could never do that. I‘d be a zombie if I didn’t have my morning coffee fix. Let’s get down to business then.
哈哈，我可不行啊。 如果我早上不喝咖啡我就呆若木雞。 我們來談談正經事吧。
Yes. I’ve come to talk with you about ordering the eight megapixel cameras for our new MePhone. Thedemand for phone cameras is growing, and Pear has been falling behind in the market.
是的，我來是想和你談談為我們新的MePhone向你們訂購八百萬像素的攝像頭的事的。 對手機攝像頭要求的提升使得Pear正在被市場淘汰。
That’s great! I’m glad to hear that Pear has finally jumped on the bandwagon. Right now our contract is for the five megapixel cameras. Is Pear still interested in having those?
很好！ 我很高興聽到Pear終於要跟隨潮流了。 我們目前的合同寫的是五百萬像素的攝像頭。 Pear那邊對這些還有興趣嗎？
No, we’re changing all the cameras to eight megapixels. We were hoping that by making your company our sole supplier for cameras we could negotiate a better deal.
不要了，我們要把所有攝像頭換成八百萬像素的。 我們希望你們可以作為我們攝像頭的獨家供應商給我們提供一個更合理的價格。
Surely. Let’s get started by drafting a new contract.
沒問題。 我們現在起草一個新的合同吧。
