白領的一天 場景93:演講開始 Opening presentations
Narrator: 大家好，歡迎來到 Citrus Ventures 公司的辦公室！今天對Anna 來說可是非常重要的一天，她要把Tiptop trading 公司的最新產品皇家檸檬推薦給Mr Lime 和他的同事。這件事兒千萬不能搞砸了。
Anna: …revoltionary laser-curve.... revolutionary laser-curve... revol-
Narrator: Anna 你感覺還好吧。
Anna: Scared! I want to do really well. If I mess up and Citrus Ventures doesn't place an order, I'll be so upset.
Narrator: 你準備得很充分，那纔是最重要的。記住演講開頭的那一段非常重要，你需要把這次演講的目的和結構都要說清楚。
Anna: OK. Oh dear, I didn't think of the very beginning. Can you give me examples of what I should say?
Narrator: 你介紹完自己以後，可以說:
Today I'm going to... 今天，我會...
I'll start by... 我會以什麼開始...
And then I'm going to move on to discuss... 接下來我會講解什麼什麼...
And finally... 最後...
Anna: OK, like this:
Today I'm going to...
I'll start by...
And then I'm going to move on to discuss…
And finally...
Narrator: 對了。
Anna: Right, Thanks, I'll try. Everything will be fine. I feel relaxed now.
Mr Lime: Anna!
Anna: Mr Lime!
Mr Lime: How lovely to see you. You look absolutely... I've been looking forward to this for days! Everyone is waiting in the meeting room. Come this way....
Anna: Oh gosh.
Mr Lime: Everyone in Citrus Ventures is very excited about this new Imperial Lemon, so I allowed a few extras to come and watch, I hope you don't mind. All your equipment has been set up so you can begin!
Anna: Hello, I'm Anna of Top Tip Trading…. I mean, Tip Top Trading, sorry! I'm very unhappy to be here.
Narrator: Anna – 集中注意力。
Anna: I mean, I'm very happy to be here.
Narrator: Anna, 先深呼吸，再說: Today I'm going to…
Anna: Today I'm going to... Today I'm going to present our revolutionary, new Imperial Lemon. I'll start by telling you a bit about Tip Top Trading and some of the exciting new developments at our company. And then, I'll explain how the Imperial Lemon is designed and what makes it so revolutionary. And finally, you will all have a chance to see it close up for
yourselves and ask questions. So, let's begin. This picture shows...
Narrator: 就像往常一樣，Anna 扭轉形勢，解決了困難。她用了我們早些談到的那些短語，這樣讓她的演講思路更清楚。她說了：
Today I'm going to...
I'll start by...
And then I'll going to move on to discuss…
And finally…
不過這纔是開始，她還要把整個推介演講做完呢 – 這又怎麼辦呢？
Anna: …this picture shows… no, why isn't it working…I should just click on this…, what's wrong with this stupid computer!
Narrator: 哦！本來都還挺順的，怎麼會出現電腦故障。 Anna 該怎麼辦呢？我們下次節目再繼續。 再見！
