一般來說，公司的高層領導由于事務繁忙，與中層主管或員工交流的機會很少，而且談話的時間不長。因此，在與領導談工作時，要盡管言簡意賅，盡可能為他節省時間，同時還要把息的觀點說明白。

A: Jane, the meeting is scheduled from 2:00 this afternoon. Have you made the necessary arrangements?
簡，我們計劃在下午兩點鐘開會，你都安排好了嗎？

B: Yes, Mr. Smith. We'll use the conference room on the second floor for the meeting.
安排好了，史密斯先生。我們將使用二樓的會議室開會。

很好，這個會議很重要。開會前我們在哪里接待來賓？

B: In the dining room. It's spacious there.
在餐廳吧，那里比較寬敞。

A: We'll have several foreign guests to attend the meeting.
我們還會有幾位外賓來參加會議。

B: I've arranged for an interpreter to be present. But it is said these foreigners could speak English.
我已經安排了一位口譯員，不過我聽說這些外賓都會講英語。

A: Really? I'll also try to speak slowly. How would you arrange the guests' seats, Jane?
是嗎？不過，我還是會講慢一點，你怎么安排來賓就座呢，簡？

B: We've prepared name cards to be put on the conference table for guests to sit by. What time would you like refreshments served, Mr. Smith?
我們已經準備了姓名卡片放在會議桌上，讓來賓按此就座。您希望在什么時候供應點心，史密斯先生？

A: Well, after my report, there'll be an interval for rest and refreshments.
哦，就在我做完報告后的休息時間供應點心吧。

B: All right, I see.
好的，我明白了。
