  In this Business English Podcast lesson, we’ll be studying some phrases and vocabulary that you can use to discuss the economy and economic issues, including voicing and reassuring1 concerns.

  在这节商务英语播客中,我们将学习用来讨论经济和经济争端的有用短语和词汇,包括表达关注和使人安心的语言。

  No deal gets made, no contract gets signed, no business gets done just between two people or two companies. Everything occurs against the background of networks of relationships on the local, regional, and global scales. These relationships of price and production form what’s called “the economy.” People who study the economy – economists2 – like to point out, for example, that the price of soybeans in Brazil can affect the price of meat in China. It’s no wonder, then, that a favorite activity of business people everywhere is talking about the economy. Only by understanding the economic environment in which we do business can we operate effectively in it.

  人们之间或公司之间,没有达成交易,不签署合同,就做不成买卖。所有发生的一切都与当地关系网,区域和全球的尺度相关。这些价格和产品关系构成了“经济”,研究经济的专家们指出,比如,巴西都的价格会影响到中国的肉价。难怪,各处的商人都喜欢谈论经济。只有理解我们做买卖的经济环境,我们才能积极融入当中。

  The dialog today takes place at Kendal Marcus, a global retailer3 of up market clothing and accessories. A retailer sells goods to the end customer; accessories are things like jewelry4 and belts which go along with or “accessorize” clothing. During a trip to Shanghai, Martin, a VP at Kendal’s, is visiting Tony Wu, country manager for China.

  今天的对话发生在Kendal Marcus,全球高档服装和饰品的零售商。这家公司直接将商品卖给消费者,饰品是指那些随衣服搭配的首饰或皮带。在前往上海的旅程中,Kendal公司的Martin,正在拜访中国区域销售经理 Tony Wu。

  Listening Questions:

  1) Why has Martin come to China?

  2) Is Tony optimistic about the economic outlook, that is the future, in China?

  3) What kind of concerns does Martin have?

  4) How does Tony reassure5 him?
