Alissa: Yes, I’m looking for some dress shoes for work, something with a low heel.
女:是的,我想买双上班穿的较正式的鞋子,要低跟的
Clerk: Have you tried this brand? They make really comfortable shoes. This company makes several styles of dress shoes, including a sandal, a low boot, and a loafer. These right here are open toe and those over there have a strap in the back.
Allissa: Oh, I like these slip-ons, but they seem too narrow. My feet are pretty wide.
女:噢,我喜欢这些便鞋,不过这些好象有点瘦,我的脚有点肥。
Clerk: Those actually come in three widths: narrow, medium, and wide. Do you want to try them on?
男:这些鞋有三种尺寸呢:瘦、中等与肥。你想试一下吗
Allissa: Sure. Do you have them in a 6-and-a-half or a 7, in black or brown?
女:好的。我要六号半或七号的,黑色或棕色的,有吗
Clerk: I’m not sure. I’ll have to check in the back…Here you are. How does the 6-and-a-half fit?
男:我不肯定,要到后面去查一下……给你,看看这个六号半的是否合适
Allissa: They’re a little too tight in the toe. Let me try the 7. Oh, that’s better, but now the heel is a little too loose.
女:脚趾有点顶了,我试试七号的吧。嘿,这个挺合适,不过后脚跟又有点松了
Clerk: Keep in mind that since they’re leather, they’ll stretch a little.
男:别忘记这些是皮鞋,穿穿慢慢会变松的
Allissa: In that case, I’ll take the black pair in the 6-and-a-half.
女:要是这样,我还是要那个黑色六号半的鞋子吧
Clerk: Great. I can ring you up over here.
男:好的,那你在这里付款就可以了。
Adam: With our expansion into these new areas of business, I think we need to think seriously about changing our corporate image. We’re much more than just a paper company now.
Eva: I think you’re right. Our brand has changed, and if we want to keep brand loyalty, we need to think about protecting and improving our product image.
Adam: I agree that that’s a key issue as we reposition ourselves in the industry. We can never lose sight of our end-users.
男:我同意,这对我们在行业内的重新定位很关键。我们不能让我们的最终用户看不到我们的形象。
Eva: And, even though we have registered trademarks on some of the new prestige products, we need to have a plan if we want to turn these new products into household names.
Adam: I suggest we think about hiring a public relations firm. They may be able to help us update our corporate image and logo, and to shape our new corporate identity.
男:我建议我们找一家公关公司。他们应该能帮助我们改进我们企业的形象与LOGO,重塑我们新公司的形象
Eva: Why don’t I contact a few PR firms and set up some meetings?
女:要不我去联系几家公关公司,召集他们开会讨论一下这个事
Adam: Yes, do that. That seems like the logical next step.
男:好,去办吧。这是一个合乎情理的办法。
