对话二
Lisa, Lisa! Over here, darling! It's wonderful to see you. Oh, Lisa, you look marvelous.
丽莎，丽莎，在这里，亲爱的！见到你太好了。丽莎，你看起来真棒。
Oh, Paul, you look tired. Two months away in the capital? Paul, I think you've been working too hard.
保罗，你看起来很疲惫。两个月都在首都吗？保罗，我觉得你工作太辛苦了。
I'm fine. The city is very hot this time of the year. It's good to get back to some fresh air. You know, Lisa, what they say about pregnant women really is true.
我很好。那个城市的这个月份很热，回来呼吸一些新鲜空气真好。丽莎，他们说的关于怀孕女人的话是真的。
What's that Paul?
说什么了，保罗？
They say they look beautiful.
他们说她们很美。
Well, I had a lot of tension while you've been studying hard on your course in D.C.
好吧，当你在华盛顿努力学习你的课程的时候，我感到很紧张。
Oh?
是吗？
Oh, don't worry, all from a man over 50. Father has told all his business friends the good news about the baby. And the phone hasn't stopped ringing.
别担心，这都因为一个50多岁的男人。从我爸爸告诉他所有商业伙伴我怀孕的好消息后，电话就响个不停。
Oh, look, darling. There's a taxi.
看，亲爱的。有一辆出租车。
Paul, tell me about the special project you mentioned on the phone. You sounded very excited about it!
保罗，跟我说说你在电话里提到的特别项目。你好像对它很感兴趣。
You know, I've learned a lot from the project. I'm surprised that was still in business.
我从这个项目里学到了很多。我很惊讶它还能运营。
That's because we have a wonderful sales manager ——you!
那是因为我们有最棒的销售经理——你！
Thanks. But that's not the problem at all. Lisa, our little company, and it is little compared to the giants in the city. Our little company's in danger. We are out of date. We need to expand. If we don't, we will be swallowed up by one of the giants.
谢谢。但那不是问题所在。丽莎，我们的小公司无法和城里的大企业抗衡。我们的小公司处于危险之中，我们过时了，我们需要扩张。如果不这么做，我们就会被某个大企业吞噬。
