获奖时刻！
Award winning!
Welcome back to English at Work. Paul, Anna and Tom are at an important International Plastics Conference.
欢迎回到职场英语。上期说到Paul、Anna和Tom去参加重要的国际塑料大会。
It’s been a busy day of networking but the big boss from America, Mr Socrates, has told Paul some bad news.
三人一直忙着扩大人脉，可美国来的大老板Socrates先生却带来了一些坏消息。
Before he tells the team, there is an important award to be won – the Plastic Innovation of the Year award.
Paul打算颁完塑料创新奖后再将消息告诉大家。
Will Tip Top Trading win it? I hope you’ve written your acceptance speech Anna.
顶级贸易公司最终能赢得大奖吗？Anna，你写获奖感言了吧？
Yes, I’m just doing it now.
恩，我正在写呢！
You’ve left it a bit late.
有点晚哦~
I’ve been so busy and now I’m really struggling. I don’t know what to write.
的确是，可我一直很忙，而且真不知道写啥。
Well, don’t forget to say “On behalf of everyone at Tip Top Trading, thank you for our award”.
好吧，别忘了说“我仅代表顶级贸易公司的所有员工，感谢大会授予我公司此奖项”。
Or, you could say “our company is at the forefront of plastic innovation”.
“我公司始终走在塑料创新的最前沿”。
Tell the audience “this award is a real boost for everyone working at the company”. Say that and you’ll be fine.
告诉观众“此大奖将鼓舞公司员工努力工作”。Anna，就这样说，没事的。
…working at the company. Good, got it. Thanks. Oh hi Tom, how have you got on?
恩，公司所有员工。好了，写完了。谢谢。嗨，Tom，你那边怎样？
Great great. I’ve been hanging out with some of our clients – keeping them sweet, you know what I mean?
很不错。我刚刚一直与客户闲逛，尽力讨好他们。你知道我说的是什么意思吗？
Err, I don’t actually know. But I’ve had some success. Oh, here comes Paul. Hi Paul.
呃，真不知道。不过我也有些成就啊。哦，Paul过来了。嗨，Paul。
Oh hello. Having a good day?
哦，嗨。今天过得开心吗？
Yes, we’re just talking about our success – let’s hope we win that Plastic Innovation of the Year award, eh?
开心啊。我俩刚还讨论所获成就呢。真希望公司能赢得塑料创新奖，是吧？
Oh yes... let’s hope so. Although that means I’ve got to read out that speech you wrote for me.
哦，是啊，当然希望。不过一旦获奖，我就得去宣读你为我写的演讲稿了。
Public speaking is not really one of my things.
哎，我是真不擅长公众演讲啊。
