商业午餐(business lunch) 就是一种流行的商谈与社交合一的一种交际应酬方式 。
餐前,邀请人通常要向被邀请人讲清这次商业午餐的目的,比如 :
I''d like to introduce you to the new members of the project group.
(我想要给你介绍项目组的新成员。)
如果无法成行,被邀请人应委婉地向对方回绝 :
I''m sorry, but I have another appointment.
( 对不起,我另有约会 。)
如果欣然接受,可以说:
That sounds great.
(那太好了。)
在商量好时间、地点之后,双方都应准时赴约 。一般说来,在吃饭时,大家会谈论一些轻松的与生意无关的话题,当餐具被收起,甜点上桌后,就可以提议 :
Can we talk a little bit about the project?
(我们能否谈谈有关的工作计划 ? )
这样双方就比较自然地转入工作话题了 。
午餐结束后,应由邀请方料理付帐的事情 :
We''ll take care of the bill.
(我们来付帐。)
双方告别时,邀请方要向接受邀请的对方道谢 :
We''re glad you joined us.
(我们非常高兴您的赏光 。)
