第6章(2 / 3)

杨越示意子悦开始,并和Gary、 Bill说:“She is probably going to talk in Chinese, but I will translate what she says to English.”(她大概会用中文将,我来翻译。)

子悦听到,看一眼杨越,道:“Since the slides are written in Chinese, maybe I can talk in English. In this way, all of us here can understand what I am talking about.”(因为slides是中文写的,也许我可以用英文讲,这样所有人都能听懂。)

子悦对自己的英文还是自信的。英文陈述她在美国已做过无数次,并非难事。

杨越想一下道:“Sounds great! Let’s do it.”

子悦点一下头,开始陈述。

“First, I like to thank all of you for coming to this meeting. In this meeting, I am going to cover three things……”

“My pleasure.”子悦微笑。(我的荣幸。)

“Oh,are you from California?”Bill问得没头没尾。(你是从加州来的吗?)

子悦楞一下,随即摇头道:“No. I stayed in the US for 6 years, but I grew up in China.”(我在美国待了六年,但我在中国长大。)

这次轮到Bill楞了,他拍拍脑袋说:“Unbelievable! I did not hear any Chinese accent in your English. I though English was your native language.”(难以置信,你的英文里没有任何中国口音,我以为英文是你的母语。)

对这样的称赞,子悦只是浅笑着说:“Thank you. That is because I have the best English tutor.”(谢谢,那是因为我有最好的英文老师。)

她的英文老师是建豪,而她对英文的自信也来自他。第一次自己给客户做陈述,紧张得不行,建豪看到,在一旁打趣她:“你是不相信自己,还是不相信我。你的英文是我教出来的,我可是最好的老师,你应该走到哪里都不怕的。”

如今看来真的是不管走到哪里,她都要感谢建豪,要
