Waiter: Would you like to see the menu?
Tom: Err, yes please.
Waiter: I was asking the lady actually.
Tom: Oh, right.  
Narrator: 大家好, Anna 和 Tom 终于能坐下来,在一家意大利比萨店共进晚餐了。可怜的Tom 胳膊还没好呢,吃东西的时候用刀叉可能不方便。 他脑子里还想着浪漫,不过Anna 的心已经不在晚餐上了。Are you feeling nervous Anna?
Anna: Nervous? Why?
Narrator: 你现在可是单独和 Tom 在一起。What are you going to talk about?
Anna: Don't worry. I can handle this, besides I want Tom's ideas about developing a new plastic vegetable.
Narrator: 一个塑料蔬菜!哦!Good luck.
Tom: So this is nice. Finally, us together, on our own, me and you, pizza, red wine… expensive red wine, actually.
Anna: Lovely, Tom. You know Tom, Paul wants me to develop a new idea – plastic
vegetables – I thought, maybe, you might like to help me?
Tom: Come on Anna, we're not here to talk business. Tell me about you – the
real Anna. Have had many… err, many boyfriends before?
Anna: That's a bit personal. What do you think about plastic peas?
Tom: Err? Can you not switch off from work for one minute?
Anna: Tom. I think you and me are very similar – we're a good team. If we could come up with a great idea for Paul then who knows… we may get to travel the world selling it… together.
Tom: Oh, I see. I hadn't thought of it like that. Right well…
Waiter: Your pizzas… madam… sir. (Putting plates on the table)
Tom: Thanks. Mmm, you smell nice… or is that the pizza?
Anna: I've got it!
Tom: What?
Anna: Plastic aubergines!
Tom: Plastic aubergines?
Anna: Yes. Plastic aubergines. They would look great on this table – a sort of decoration.
Tom: Yeah! And you could put sauces inside or salt and pepper. You could be on to something here.
Anna: We need to put a proposal together, to give it to Paul. But what should we
say?
Narrator: Anna, 你的提议应该简短但目标明确。需要有激励人心的一些词汇,比如:特别好exceptional, 超棒 fantastic, 高质量 quality, 还要提到对公司业务的帮助,比如:利润 profit, 效率 efficiency, 物有所值 value for money. 祝你好运!
Tom: Are you OK Anna?
Anna: Yes. Just writing some things down.
Tom: OK, well write down how we could target restaurants and cafes. They'll be
begging for our vegetables. Oh this is so exciting… let's drink to our…succ… (Bottle knocked over) Oh!
Anna: Tom! What have you done?! You've knocked red wine all over me… and my
notebook.
Tom: Erm, sorry. We had better get you out of that dress.
Narrator: Hmm, 浪漫晚餐泡汤了!不过说不定一个成功商业计划就在眼前。让我们看看晚上在Tom 家到底发生了什么事情…
Anna: …this exceptional product has fantastic potential…
Tom: Say 'demand for this plastic aubergine will reach melting point!' My little joke!
Anna: …by making the production more efficient, our customers will get value for money and our profits will increase. There, done.
Tom: Great. We can pitch this to Paul first thing on Monday morning. So now, maybe we can get back to our date? Look I saved some of that pizza.
Anna: Thanks. Tom, I think you'll need some help cutting that.
Anna: It's all cold! (Walking away) Anyway, I had better go. It's late and I want to tidy up this proposal. But it's been great. I can't wait till next time.
Tom: Bbbut…(Door slams closed)
Tom: Next time?
Narrator: Well, 看来情况不错! 虽然意大利馅饼都冷了,但 Anna 和 Tom 的商业计划进行得红红火火。让我们再回顾一下在准备一份专业的商业计划时可以用到的词汇:
Exceptional!
Fantastic!
Quality.
Profit.
Efficiency.
Value for money.
Narrator: 书面的东西都准备好了,接下来得看 Tom 和 Anna 能不能说服 Paul, 这就意味着要去投标。我们下期节目再看进展如何。再见!
