对话演练
(Ian is discussing how to arrange his company's exhibition space with his teammates.)
（伊恩正在和他的队友讨论如何安排公司的展位。）
Ian：OK guys, I've called this meeting because this year we've decided to attend the largest trade for our industry.
正确答案是：
伊恩：各位，召开这个会是因为今年我们决定参加行业最大的贸易展览会。
Keren：Fantastic. What size stand are we going for?
凯伦：太棒了。我们要做多大规模的展位？
Ian：Well, it's a huge exhibition with at least exhibition halls — we'll be in the main exhibition hall in the second row as you come in from the main entrance.
We're going to have a double-decker stand with two .
正确答案是：
伊恩：这是一个大型展会，至少有四个展厅。我们的展位在主厅，从主入口进入的第二排。我们将要有一个两层楼的双层展台。
Alan：What about the design of the stand? Has that been decided on?
艾伦：展台的设计如何？已经决定了吗？
Ian：We've asked the stand designers we used before to come up with some for us, but I'd like your ideas as well. We were thinking of having sweeping curves at the front of the stand with illuminated pillars, illuminated by lights.
What do you think?
正确答案是：
伊恩：我们已经请以前聘用过的展台设计师为我们提供了一些设计方案，但是我也希望征求你们的想法。我们在考虑，展台前面用大弧形装饰，并用由 LED 灯装饰的柱子支撑。你们觉得如何？
Alan：That sounds good. Do you have the designs there? How many people are going to go altogether?
艾伦：听起来不错。你有那里的设计吗？有多少人要一起去？
Ian：Obviously, me, you, and Keren, and we're going to take Andrew, Austin and Peter from the sales team.
伊恩：显然，你、我、凯伦，还有销售团队的安德鲁、奥斯汀和彼得。
Keren：Let's look at this design again. The LED display is an interesting idea, but I think it might be a bit on the eye — there are too many lights flashing and it's a bit bright. What about this design? I think it's a lot cleaner and, well, a bit . What do you think, Ian?
正确答案是：
凯伦：我们再来看看这个设计。LED显示屏是个有意思的想法，但我认为这会让眼睛觉得不舒服——有太多的灯闪烁，有点太亮。这个设计怎么样？我认为这个比较简洁，而且上档次。你觉得怎么样，伊恩？
Ian：I like the first design, but I agree it's a bit in your face. Perhaps a compromise between the two would be the ideal .
I'll ask them to come up with a new design, something a bit more tone down .
正确答案是：
伊恩：我喜欢第一个方案，不过我也认为它有一些“咄咄逼人”。也许两者之间的折中是理想的解决方案。我会请他们重新设计一个方案，更加柔和一点的。
