31、, 很高興再次見到您. 有什么需要我做的嗎?Im happy to see you again, mr. roberts. May I help you in some way? B: Hi, Miss Chen, its been ten months since I left China. I would like to discuss with you the possibilities of establishing a joint venture with your company to manufacture mobile TV and mobile phones.你好，陳小姐。

32、離開中國已經有10個月了，我打算商討一下能否與貴公司合資興辦企業，共同生產移動電視和移動電話。A: 好極了。您的投資意向是明智的。我公司也正在尋求外資， 合辦一家生產移動電視和移動電話的制造公司， 您的提議很好。羅伯茨先生， 我還記得一年前曾同您討論過有關外國在華投資的事情. Thats great. Your proposal is a very wise decision. Our company is also seeking foreign investment in a manufacturing company for mobile TV and mobile phones. I

33、remember talking to you about the matter of foreign investment in China a year ago.B: Yes, you did a good job. The whole idea of my investing in a joint venture enterprise with your company is the direct result of your wonderful lecture. Your answers were direct and honest. And your explanations wer

34、e sincere and persuasive . May I get on Chinas economic express train and share your economic gains?是的，那次你談得很好，其結果是觸發了我同貴公司合資辦企業的念頭。你的回答很坦率，你的解釋很誠懇，很有說服力。現在我想搭乘中國經濟的快車， 分享你們的經濟成果，好嗎？A: 當然可以。 歡迎羅伯茨先生加入我們的行列！我們來討論一下合資企業的事宜吧。您能告訴我您的設想嗎？ Of course. Welcome aboard. Lets get down to the business of this j

35、oint venture. May I have some idea of your proposal?B: I did a lot of research in the market of entertainment and telecommunications equipment lately. Theres a potential market for mobile TV and mobile phones in China and elsewhere in the world. Initially, I would like to embark on this joint ventur

36、e business at a moderate rate, with a safe scale. My suggestion for the amount of total capital is in the vicinity of 16.8 million US dollars, a lucky number in China, I suppose.最近，我對娛樂家電和電信設備的市場做了一番調查。中國乃至全世界的移動電視和移動電話的市場，潛力很大。在合資企業的起步階段， 我希望有一個穩妥的速度和安全的規模。 我建議投資總額在1680萬美元左右，我想中國人喜歡這個吉利的數字。A: 很好。 1

37、680 豈止是個吉利數字，我認為這對啟動這家合資企業來說是很合適的。那么您在合資中打算占有多少投資比重 呢？Very good. 16.8 million is more than a lucky number. Its the right number for the initiation of this joint venture, as I understand it. But, how much would be your share of investment in this partnership?B: My contribution is 50% of the total inv

38、estment, including the construction funds and the cost of all the imported equipment, and the engineers, technicians and management staff from my home company.我愿提供占投資總額50%的資金，包括建設資金， 全部進口設備的費用，以及來自我國內公司的工程師，技工和管理人員的費用。A: 我對你這個5:5對半開的合伙投資比例很滿意。這就是說我們在經營管理和利潤分配上也保持一種5:5對半開的權益關系I like the idea of a 50

39、to 50 investment partnership, in which case there will be a 50-to-50 distribution in business management and profit share.A: 接下來的問題是產品的營銷。移動電視在中國有很大的需求量， 但是我們無法保證在國內推銷50%移動電話。此外， 我們需要增加外匯儲備, “天晴還需防雨天嘛。”我建議貴方負責向海外推銷65%以上的移動電話， 您看如何？我相信您對外匯的需求大于對我人民幣的需求。Theproblemtheninvolvesthemarketingofthemanufactu

41、I love Renmimbi. We all know it is one of the strongest currencies in the world. And I have heard that the Chinese yuan will become a convertible currency soon. But I accept your proposal and we will be responsible for the international marketing of two-thirds of the mobile phones. 我很喜歡人民幣， 我們都知道這是世

42、界上最堅挺的貨幣之一。我還聽說，中國的人民幣不就便可以成為一種可兌換的貨幣。不過我接收您的建議，我們負責在國際市場上推銷三分之二的移動電話。B: Two more questions. One concerns the term of our partnership and the other the managements structure of the venture. 還有兩個問題需要解決。一個問題是有關我們的合作期限，另外一個問題涉及到企業管理人員的結構。A: 至于我們的合作期限，我們可以定為15年，只要雙方愿意，合同期滿后我們還可以續簽。 您意下如何?As for the term

43、 of our partnership, lets start with a 15-year term for this joint venture, and extend our contract later if both parties wish to continue the partnership. What do you say to it?B: Thats quite logical. May I suggest that we set up a board of directors for the management of the company and share righ

44、ts and obligations as equal partners?非常合理。我建議我們建立董事會來監管公司的業務運作，我們以平等的伙伴關系來分享我們的權利和義務。A: 正合我的想法。下周我們是否再舉行一輪會談，詳細討論一些技術性問題？ That coincides with our usual practice . Shall we hold another round of discussion next week on some technical problems in a more detailed way?B: Thats fine. Id like to work with

45、 you, as I did before. Its been a very rewarding day.好的，同以往一樣，我樂意和你合作。今天的收獲真的很大。 Unit4行在美國據說It is said that由汽車驅動的國家a country driven by automobile夸張的說法exaggeration correct observation正確的看法 way of life生活方式 drive-in bank “免下車”銀行international drivers license國際駕駛執照行車限速speed limitederal expressway州際高速公路 m

Is

48、this an exaggeration? A: This is basically a correct observation, which says something about the American way of life. Americans like to do business without leaving their cars. Wherever you go, youll see drive-in banks, drive-in restaurants, drive-in churches and drive-in movies.A：這種看法基本上是正確的，它反映了美國

49、人的生活方式。美國人喜歡開車辦事。你到處可以看到“免下車”銀行、“免下車”餐館、“免下車”教堂和“免下車”電影院。 Q: 如果我以游客的身份訪問美國， 我可以在美國境內開車嗎？ 譯文：Q: If I visit the United States with a tourists visa, can I drive in the country? A: Yes, you can. When you drive in the United States, its a good idea to have an international drivers license if you are a fo

50、reigner and dont have a state license. Each of the states of the U.S. has its own traffic laws. Drivers are expected to know and understand the local law even if they dont live in a particular state. You can get information at a tourist information center when you cross the border into a different s

51、tate.A：你可以在美國開車。如果你是外國人，又沒有某州的駕駛執照，可你想開車，那你最好攜帶一張國際駕駛執照。 美國50個州都有各自的交通法規。 即使外州來的開車人也應知曉當地的法律。 你在穿越州界時可以在新到的那個州所設的旅游信息中心打聽情況。 Q: 在中國某些道路上開車，司機必須將自己的行車速度控制在標牌規定的限速內。美國是否也有限速？ 譯文： Q: In China, drivers have to drive under a posted speed limit on some roads. Is there any national speed limit in the U. S.

52、? A: Yes. In most states, the speed limit on the expressway is 55 miles per hour, or about 88 kilometers per hour. On some roads, such as state or federal expressways, there is minimum speed of 40 miles per hour, or about 65 kilometers per hour. A：是的。大多數州的高速公路限速為每小時55英里，約88公里小時。有些道路，如地方高速公路或州際高速公路，還

53、規定行車時速不得低于40英里，約65公里小時。Q: 我作為一名出公差來美國的旅行者，可沒有必要為了旅行而去買一輛車。我想貴國一定有某種租車服務業吧？ 譯文： Q: As a visitor on a business trip, I dont need to buy a car in order to travel in America. I suppose you have some kind of car rental service, dont you? A: Of course we do. This country has the most developed car rental

54、industry in the world. The two largest American car rental companies, Hertz and Avis, have offices all over the United States, with counters at most airports and in many international cities. Other national car rental companies that you can find at airports, such as Thrifty, National, Budget or Doll

55、ar, have offices in other countries too, so you may want to reserve a car through your travel agent in your own country.譯文： A：那是自然的。我國有世界上最發達的租車業。美國兩家最大的租車公司Hertz和Avis在全美國都設立了公司辦事處，在大部分機場和許多國際都市設有租車站。其他一些全國性的租車公司如Thrifty、National、Budget、Dollar等也在其他國家設有租車辦事處，所以你可以通過國內的旅行社辦理租車預訂事宜。 Q: 那么租車時我以什么方式來付款呢？

56、 A: In order to rent a car, you have to have a major credit card such as MasterCard, Visa, or American Express. 譯文： O: How do I pay for my rental service?A：租車時你必須擁有一張大公司的信用卡，如“萬事達”卡、“威薩”卡，或者“美國運通”卡。（續）Without a credit card you may have to pay a very high deposit on the car. If you dont want to spend

57、 a lot of money, you may rent used cars from used car rental companies, such as Rent-A-Junker and Ugly Duckling. Their rates are often lower and they dont always demand a credit card. Sometimes they have special offers that make the total cost of renting a car even lower.譯文： 你若沒有信用卡，也許就得付一筆高額押金。如果你不

58、想花費太多的錢，也可以向二手車租車公司，如 RentA-Junker和Ugly Duckling公司租上一輛二手車。這類公司的收費往往比較低，而且也不一定非要租車者用信用卡付款不可。有時它們還給顧客優惠價，使租車的費用總額更為低廉。Q: 如果我沒有駕照，那我怎樣去其他城市呢？譯文： Q: If I dont have a license, how do I travel between cities? A: There are three ways to get from city to city without a car. In some places, you can take Amtr

59、ak, the national passenger rail service. Or you can take a bus. Greyhound is the largest long distance coach company, which offers the monthly pass. A：要是沒有小汽車，你去其他城市可以搭乘三種交通工具。在有些地方，你可以乘坐全國客運火車Amtrak。不然的話你可以坐長途汽車，“灰狗長途汽車公司”是美國最大的長途汽車公司，有月票出售。 （續）A: And, of course, you can fly. There are dozens of ai

60、rlines, both regional and national. Prices are not regulated, so airlines can make special offers that are sometimes cheaper than train tickets. There are also shuttle and commuter flights between some major cities that are close to each other.譯文：A:當然羅，你也可以坐飛機旅行。美國有數十家國內和國際航空公司，全國沒有統一的票價，所以航空公司可以削價，
