5-1-2 Preparation for Conference (2)
5-1-2 会议准备 （二）
David: Right, I have this meeting to fix the details for the Annual Europe Sales Conference. Basically we've got three issues to decide: firstly the date, secondly the location and finally the conference facilities. Let's start with the date. What's your view, Tony?
大卫：好吧，本次会议的目的是确定一下欧洲销售年会的细节。我们要确定三个基本问题：日期、地点和会议设施。我们先来确定一下日期，托尼，你有什么看法？
Tony: I think we're going to have to settle for September--probably the first weekend. I've had a look at the schedule. There's a big trade fair coming up in July--most of the sales people will be there. August is out--most of the sales teams are taking their holidays then.
托尼：我想我们不得不把时间定在九月份，可能是第一个周末。我已经看了日程表，七月份将举行一次大型的商品交易会，绝大多数销售人员都会出席这次交易会。八月份不合适，因为多数销售人员那时正在休假。
Jack: Excuse me, Tony. David, I've just been looking at your diary. That first week in September you're flying out to Japan.
杰克：托尼，请允许我打断一下。大卫，我刚刚看过你的日程，九月的第一周你要飞往日本。
David: When do I get back?
大卫：我什么时候回来？
Jack: Well, you are booked on a flight back to New York on Friday evening. Hardly time to get over to Chicago for the weekend.
嗯，你被安排乘飞机于周五晚上返回纽约。几乎没有时间在那个周末赶回芝加哥。
David: You're right. Tony, why can't we make it the second weekend in September? That's the...
大卫：说得也是。托尼，我们还是把会议订在九月的第二个周末？也就是……
Jack: 15th and 16th.
杰克：15号和16号。
Tony: It'll be very difficult. I have to say, the second weekend in September is pretty busy. Most of the team will be involved in the launch of the new product.
托尼：这很难啊。我得说，九月的第二周是相当忙碌的。团队的大多数人都在忙着新产品上市。
David: Of course, I was forgetting. What about the third weekend? Jack, when do I leave for Tokyo?
大卫：是啊，我忘记了。那么，第三个周末怎么样？杰克，我什么时候动身去东京？
Jack: Well, you're flying out on the Monday morning from JFK.
杰克：嗯，您将于周一早晨于肯尼迪机场乘飞机出发。
David: Is there any reason why I shouldn't take a flight from Chicago instead?
大卫：我为什么不能乘坐由芝加哥起飞的航班呢？
Jack: I don't see any problem.
杰克：没问题。
David: Right. Tony, what about the third weekend--that's the 22nd and 23rd?
大卫：好的，托尼，我们把会议订在第三个周末怎么样，也就是22号和23号。
Tony: That looks OK. Of course, I'll have to confirm it with Peter.
托尼：好的。当然了，我还要和彼得再确认一下。
David: Sure. Get back to us as soon as possible. Now, what about the location? Tony, any idea?
大卫：当然了，尽快回来通知我们。那么，地点定在哪里？托尼，你有什么建议吗？
Tony: Yes, I think I've found the ideal spot--just outside Chicago, not far from the airport. It's called the Swallow Hotel.
托尼：哦，我已经找到了一个非常理想的地点——就在芝加哥郊外，离机场不远的燕子酒店。
David: That sounds great. How much is it going to cost us?
大卫：听起来不错。要多少钱？
Tony: Well, we're working to a budget of US$180 per delegate for the weekend and I reckon we can get this place for less.
托尼：嗯，周末每位与会代表的预算是180美元，但我想这家饭店花不了那么多。
David: Good. Does that include everything?
大卫：好的，一切全包了吗？
Tony: Yes. All inclusive.
托尼：是的，一切全包在内。
David: Great. Look, I have to go now. Can I leave you with Jack to sort out the details?
大卫：太好了，哦，我该走了。细节方面你再和杰克商谈一下好吗？
