地道美語聽力播客905：為商務事宜預定活動場地

Roberto: All right, we have to find meeting rooms and a banquet hall for the annual sales meeting and luncheon. Do you have any ideas?

　　羅伯托：好了，我們得去找找會議室和宴會廳，要舉辦年度銷售會議和午宴了。你有什么好主意嗎?

　　Nicole: We could hold it at a hotel as we’ve done in past years or we can try the convention center.

　　尼科爾：我們可以就像去年那樣選個旅館，或者說今年可以試試在會議中心。

　　Roberto: The company has grown so much in the past year. I don’t think the hotel has the capacity we need. The convention center sounds like a better option.

　　羅伯托：去年公司規(guī)模擴大了，我覺得旅館的容不下。會議中心聽起來不錯。

　　Nicole: The advantage of the hotel is that it has in- house catering and waitstaff for the luncheon.

　　尼科爾：旅館方便的地方就是那配有室內酒席和午宴服務人員。

　　Roberto: Yes, but we can bring in outside catering, which would give us more food options. The large convention center rooms will also allow us to configure the space the way we want it.

　　羅伯托：是啊，可是我們舉行室外酒席，我們就有機會選擇更多的食物種類了。會議中心挺大的，這樣我們就可以隨意布置了。

　　Nicole: But the hotel meeting rooms have built-in A/V. I’m not sure that’s available at the convention center.

　　尼科爾：可是旅店的會議室里配有內嵌式A/V, 我不確定會議中心有沒有。

　　Roberto: All right, I think we should visit both venues and book after we’ve met with the event managers. Agreed?

　　羅伯托：好，我認為我們可以來給你個都去看看，見到項目經(jīng)理后再預定。行嗎?

　　Nicole: Agreed. And we’ll need to sample the catering options, right?

　　尼科爾：行。我們需要抽樣調查一下酒席承辦服務，對吧?

　　Roberto: Of course. What are expense accounts for?

　　羅伯托：當然，賬單里都含什么?
