译文： Q: As a visitor on a business trip, I don\'t need to buy a car in order to travel in America.
I suppose you have some kind of car rental service, don\'t you? Sometimes they have special offers that make the total cost of renting a car even lower.
有时它们还给顾客优惠价，使租车的费用总额更为低廉。
There are dozens of airlines, 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.
美国有数十家国内和国际航空公司，全国没有统一的票价，所以航空公司可以削价，有时机票要比火车票便宜。一些相距不远的大城市之间，也有穿梭于两地之间的航班。
Well, I have to admit that getting around a city on public transportation is generally not as easy as it is in most other countries, but it is possible.
这个嘛，我得承认在美国乘坐市内公交车通常没有大多数国家来得方
便，但还是有车可坐。
It’s actually easier to call a taxi company and ask them to send a cab to your door.
比较方便的做法通常是按电话号码簿里黄页部分所提供的号码打电话给出租车公司，让他们派车到你的所在之地。 embark v.上飞机，上船； 着手，从事；
我公司也正在寻求外资，合办一家生产移动电视和移动电话的制造公司,您的提议很好。罗伯茨先生，我还记得一年前曾同您讨论过有关外国在华投资的事情.
Our company is also seeking foreign investment in a manufacturing company for mobile TV and mobile phones. I remember talking to you about the matter of foreign investment in China a year ago. The whole idea of my investing in a joint venture enterprise with your company is the direct result of your wonderful lecture. 其结果是触发了我同贵公司合资办企业的念头。
May I get on China’s economic express train and share your economic gains?
现在我想搭乘中国经济的快车， 分享你们的经济成果，好吗？ 欢迎罗伯茨先生加入我们的行列！我们来讨论一下合资企业的事宜吧。 Welcome aboard. Let’s get down to the business of this joint venture.
I did a lot of research in the market of entertainment and
telecommunications equipment lately. There’s 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 venture business at a moderate rate, with a safe scale.
我对娱乐家电和电信设备的市场做了一番调查。中国乃至全世界的移动电视和移动电话的市场，潜力很大。在合资企业的起步阶段， 我希望有一个稳妥的速度和安全的规模。 那么您在合资中打算占有多少投资比重 呢？
But, how much would be your share of investment in this partnership?
A: 我对你这个5:5对半开的合伙投资比例很满意。这就是说我们在经营管理和利润分配上也保持一种5:5对半开的权益关系
I like the idea of a 50 to 50 investment partnership, in which case there will be a 50-to-50 distribution in business management and profit share.
A:移动电视在中国有很大的需求量， 但是我们无法保证在国内推销50%移动电话。此外， 我们需要增加外汇储备, “天晴还需防雨天嘛。” Mobile TV is in high demand in China, but we can’t guarantee the 50% domestic marketing of mobile phones. Besides we need to increase our foreign exchange reserve for the rainy day.
B: Two more questions. One concerns the term of our partnership and the other the management’s structure of the venture.
还有两个问题需要解决。一个问题是有关我们的合作期限，另外一个问题涉及到企业管理人员的结构。
A: 至于我们的合作期限，我们可以定为15年，只要双方愿意，合同期满后我们还可以续签。
As for the term of our partnership, let’s start with a 15-year term for this joint venture, and extend our contract later if both parties wish to continue the partnership.
May I suggest that we set up a board of directors for the management of the company and share rights and obligations as equal partners?
我建议我们建立董事会来监管公司的业务运作，我们以平等的伙伴关系来分享我们的权利和义务。
下周我们是否再举行一轮会谈，详细讨论一些技术性问题？ Shall we hold another round of discussion next week on some technical problems in a more detailed way?
A：您专程从英国赶来，我很高兴。我们为您来此参加工作，成为我部门的一员而感到骄傲和荣幸。我真诚的希望您的来访有价值、有意义。
I′m very happy that you have come all the way from Britain. We are very proud and honored that you will work with us , and be part of our department . I sincerely hope that your visit will be worthwhile and meaningful .
B: It is indeed my pleasure and privilege to have received your gracious invitation and work with a distinguished group of people like Director Chen. I have been
looking forward to this visit for years. I had
a dream that someday I would visit China and work in the beautiful
city of Shanghai for a while. I’m very grateful that you have made my dream come true.
收到贵公司的友好邀请，来与陈主任这样杰出的人士合作共事，我深感愉快和荣幸。我曾梦想有朝一日能访问中国，能在美丽的上海工作一段时间。我很高兴您使我的梦想成真了。
我们会尽力使您在沪期间过得舒适愉快。考虑到您的方便和舒适，您可以住在公司的外宾专用别墅。别墅紧挨着海滩，从那里骑自行车15分钟可到我公司海外部的办公楼。您一定喜欢。
