Hello and welcome to English at Work.

你好，欢迎回到“职场英语”。

The company's computer system has been fixed and Anna seems to have found a new friend in Dave, the IT support man.

公司的电脑系统已经修好了，安娜似乎交到了一个新朋友，技术部门的戴夫。

But her main concern now is pitching her new idea for a plastic aubergine, to Paul the boss.

但现在她最关心的是把塑料茄子的想法说给老板保罗。

So Anna, that guy didn't really know what he was doing did he?

安娜，那家伙真不知道他到底在做什么，是不是？

You mean Dave?

你是说戴夫？

Dave – was that his name?

他叫戴夫吗？

He had a really bad smell.

他身上的味好难闻。

No he didn't. He's done a great job.

不，才没有，他做得很好。

Look everything is working so, if you don't mind, I think we should get this pitch for Paul finished.

一切都好了。如果你不介意，我们该向保罗推销宣传了。

You'd better hurry up.

你们最好快点。

Paul's taking the afternoon off to go to his biscuit lovers' convention.

保罗下午要去他的饼干爱好者大会。

Oh right. Well, we might as well leave it until tomorrow then Anna.

好的。我们最好明天再去做，安娜。

No Tom.

不行，汤姆。

There's no time like the present – I heard someone say that once – we've got to get our idea to Paul as soon as possible.

机不可失，时不再来。我听别人这么说过。我们要尽快把想法告诉保罗。

Then we might have time for a drink, or shall I ask Dave? !

然后我们可能有时间去喝一杯，我要叫上戴夫吗？

No, no, you're right.

不，你说的没错。

Look, I'll design some pictures of the aubergine and you get the results of our survey together, yeah?

我设计一些茄子的照片，你整理出研究结果，好吗？

Great.

好极了。

Well done Anna.

干得好，安娜。

Remember to make your pitch clear and exciting.

记得要让你的推销宣传听起来清晰，有意思。

Really sell it with words like 'exceptional! ', 'fantastic! ', 'quality', 'profit', 'efficiency', and 'value for money'.

用上这些词语，如“不同寻常的”、“极好的”、“质量”、“利润”、“现金价格”。

OK, I've got all that.

好的，我都记住了。

I'm just adding some of the facts and figures from our customer survey.

我添些实事和数字在客户调查上。

Anna, I've got the designs, they're coming off the printer now.

安娜，设计做好了，马上从打印机里出来了。

Denise, I'm off now.

丹尼斯，我走了。

Can't wait any longer for my garibaldis!

等不及去买我的葡萄干饼干了！

Wait Paul!

等等，保罗！

I need to tell you about our new product idea.

我要跟你说说我们最新的产品计划。

Well, I, I, have to go.

我得走了。

Can you tell me about it in the lift?

你能在电梯里和我说说吗？

In the lift? Do I have to?

电梯里？必须这样吗？

Sorry Anna, but that's the only time I've got.

抱歉，安娜，但这是我唯一有空的时候了。

Right Anna.

好吧，安娜。

It's time for your 'elevator pitch' – an elevator is an American word for lift.

“电梯游说”时刻到了，elevator是lift的美式说法。

You'll need to pitch your idea quickly and concisely.

You need to tell Paul about the product and the market.

Then talk about how you hope it will make money for the company.

Talk about the evidence you have that it will be successful and convince him it will really benefit the business.

谈谈那些显示会成功的证明，让他相信这会对生意有利。

Phew, there's a lot to say in a short time but here goes.

这么短的时间里有太多要说的了，但试试吧。

Anna, could you just press the 0 button there, thanks.

Now Paul.

Tom and I have come up with a new exciting product – the plastic aubergine.

汤姆和我想出了一个有意思的新产品，塑料茄子。

Oh yes?

Will it now?

Do you really think it will be a profitable addition to our plastic portfolio?

Using the same plastics as our fruits, we can easily re-mould our bananas and change the colour.

We can increase efficiency but maintain quality.

我们可以提高效率但是保证质量。

And profits?

利润呢？

By my calculations, we can increase profits by 20%.

根据我的计算，我们可以提高20%的利润。

That's based on selling the same quantity that we now sell of Imperial Lemons.

Hmm, 20%, really?

20%，真的吗？

But do you know who's going to buy this product?

但你知道谁会买这些产品吗？

I do.

我知道。

We've conducted a survey and already found 10 new companies who would buy this and 27 existing customers who have shown an interest in it…

我们做了调查，已经有10家新公司想要购买，还有27家老客户表示有兴趣。

… and I'm confident this new product will be a huge success.

我确信这个新产品会是一个巨大的成功。

Very impressive.

太棒了。

You've certainly done your homework.

Look, let me chew it over – probably on a custard cream – and I'll get back to you.

让我想想，估计是在吃奶油夹心饼干的时候，我会给你反馈的。

Thanks.

Paul, Paul… you've forgotten your bag.

保罗，保罗，你忘了拿包了。

是的，我需要它，谢了。

. . . . . .
