實用英語對話:說客

洋洋：你的工作到底是做什么的呢？

心濤：主要是幫助公司、企業(yè)做一些談判工作，以保證他們的利益。通俗地理解，我就是一個說客。

洋洋：哦？說客？我印象中，說客擁有三寸不爛之舌，善于運用各種軟磨硬泡功夫，甚至不惜在背地里耍手段。

心濤：也不像你想的那么夸張。我只是用我的勸說能力幫助我的客戶。我有時候也會為私營機構(gòu)或是個人工作。其實我的主要工作只是幫客戶說出他們不能直接說的話罷了。

洋洋：聽起來不錯啊，我正需要個說客。我一直想說服我爸媽能讓我買輛豪華越野去非洲自駕游！

心濤：那你來晚了一步。你爸媽上周來找我讓我說服你放棄這個異想天開的計劃。

洋洋：啊？

 

 

Yangyang: What do you do exactly?

Xintao: My job is to help companies and enterprises to negotiate to make sure their interests. To put it simple, I’m a persuader.

 

Yangyang: A persuader? In my opinion, a persuader must have a silver tongue. He must be good at using a mild insult or a snarky attitude and they don’t care if they are being mean.

 

Xintao: It’s not like that. I just help my clients with my persuasive ability. Sometimes I work for private institutions and individuals. In fact, I’m just helping my clients to say what they cannot say directly.

 

Yangyang: Sounds great. I just need a persuader to talk with my parents about buying a luxury SUV for a self-driving travel.

 

Xintao: Your parents are one step before you and they asked me to persuade you to give up this whimsical idea.

 

Yangyang; What?
