【商業(yè)英語】Lesson 1： Getting Started 成立公司

Wendy：Let's review our start-up plans. When do you think we will be able to move into our new office?

溫蒂：我們再看一遍我們的初步計劃。你想什么時候我們可以搬進新的辦公室？

Lester：Well, we can move in any time after July first, but moving in and actually getting started are two different things.

萊司特：七月一號之后我們隨時可以搬進去，不過搬進去和實際開始工作是兩回事。

Wendy：Good point. Anyway, I have our new marketing manager, Helen Parker, helping us get set up.

溫蒂：說得好。無論如何，我會要我們新任的市場經(jīng)理，海倫_派克幫忙我們打點一切。

Lester：What is she doing?

萊司特：她是做什么的？

Wendy：She's overseeing the purchase of equipment and so forth.

溫蒂：她監(jiān)督機器設(shè)備的采購等等。

Lester：Does she have a background in that sort of thing?

萊司特：她有那方面的背景嗎？

Wendy：As a matter of fact, it turns out she practically ran her last company, from marketing to finance.

溫蒂：事實上，她上一個公司從行銷到財務(wù)，實際上都是她在運作的。

Lester：I'm looking forward to meeting her.

萊司特：我期待認識她。

Wendy：Have you begun to investigate factories? I'm so glad we aren't going to try to run our own factory at first.

溫蒂：你開始調(diào)查工廠了嗎？我很高興我們沒有先試圖設(shè)立自己的工廠。

Lester：Yes, I've started. And I've found some good people for R and D, too. Then there are the art people designing our logos-

萊司特：是的，開始了。我也替研發(fā)部門找了些好人才。然后有一些美術(shù)人員設(shè)計我們的商標——

Wendy：Oh, no! Millions of details: logos, slogans, letterhead, name cards . . .

溫蒂：噢，天哪！有好多的細節(jié)：商標，標語，信頭，名片……

Lester：You thought setting up a company was going to be easy?

萊司特：你覺得創(chuàng)立一間公司會容易嗎？
