BBCEnglish at Work Episode 30: Two heads are better than one
BBC白领工作英语第 30 集:两人合作智慧多 议价用语

Anna: (On the phone) …yes, we have plenty in stock. They’re £4 per unit… Oh, well, they are good quality ones…

Narrator: Anna 联系的法国公司回电了。真希望他们能下订单。

Anna: ….laser technology isn’t cheap… hmm, I see… Well, thanks for calling back… Bye.

Paul: Everything OK Anna?

Anna: Not really. One of the companies I cold called has rung back…

Paul: Good, good…

Anna: …but they don’t want to place an order. They say we’re too expensive.

Paul: So you let them go? Didn’t you negotiate with them?

Anna: Oh, was I meant to? I wasn’t sure what to say.

Tom: Having trouble Anna? Don’t worry, I’m sure I can help. Negotiating is my thing! Narrator: "Negotiating is my thing"! 这么骄傲?不过 Tom 当过年度最佳雪梨销售员,所以 他还是有点儿能耐的。

Anna: Are you sure Tom? Don’t you want to negotiate your own deals?

Tom: I owe you one Anna after you saved my bacon with Mr Socrates the other night. And besides, you and me…

Paul: Come on you two. Get a move on. Europe is waiting for us! Custard cream?

Tom: Right. Now you need to call that French company back and ask them what kind of price they are willing to pay.

Anna: And then say that’s fine?

Tom: No. Negotiate. Say "I don’t think we can go that low."

Anna: "I don’t think we can go that low."

Tom: If they want a bigger discount, tell them they would have to buy more stock.

Anna: More stock, bigger discount.

Tom: And if you still can’t agree a price tell them "I’ll meet you half way."

Anna: Meet half way?! That means going to Paris.

Tom: No! Half way on the price. That line always works for me. I sold a load of plastic pears that way once.

Anna: So that’s "I’ll meet you half way". Thanks Tom. I’m really impressed. You… you…

Tom: Do you?!

Anna: What? I was going to say, you really do know your stuff – despite what other people say.

Tom: Uh?

Anna: Right, I’m off to make that call right now. Narrator: 祝你好运 Anna, Tom 表现真不错!他的建议还挺有用的,不过能行吗?让我们再听 听 Tom 的建议。 What kind of price are you willing to pay? I don’t think we can go that low. If you buy more stock I can offer you a bigger discount. I’ll meet you half way. Narrator: 不知道 Anna 那边怎样了…

Anna: Success! They’ve agreed to buy 5,000 Imperial Lemons.

Tom: Brilliant. I knew you would be great. Did those killer lines of mine work?

Anna: Sort of – but when I said what price were they looking to pay, they said the full price as long as I send them the contract today so I had better get an envelope and post it as soon as I can.

Tom: Oh great.

Anna: Tom… Tom…can you come over here to the stationery cupboard and get an envelope from the top shelf for me?

Tom: Suppose so… (Door slams shut)…oh!

Anna: Oh Tom, why did you do that? It won’t open… it’s locked… help, help!

Tom: Help! Narrator: Uh Oh. 这可有意思了,Anna 和 Tom 被反锁在文具柜里了,他们该怎么解释呢? 我们下期节目继续。Bye! 
