在宴会上At the Party

Mr. Lee: Excuse me, everyone. If I could just have your attention for a few minutes… I’d like to thank you all for coming. Welcome to Go-Getters Advertising¹ Agency’s Annual Make Your Market Banquet. We’re happy to be celebrating the end of another successful year. I’d like to propose a toast, if I may. Here’s to successful projects completed, to the team that made them happen, and to the profits all our clients are sure to make!
对不起，各位。占用大家几分钟时间……我非常感谢大家能来。欢迎你们参加“进取者”广告公司一年一度的“占领市场”主题宴会。我们很高兴能在丰收的一年的年末庆祝我们的成功。请允许我举杯祝愿。祝贺项目圆满完成，感谢项目组人员，祝我们所有的客户能财源广进!

Rob: Mr. Lee, I’m afraid I have to leave a little early. I wanted to say thanks so much for another lovely banquet. Everything was delicious, and the pre-dinner entertainment was superb.
李先生，恐怕我得提前一会儿离开。非常感谢您准备的丰盛晚餐。菜肴很可口，餐前的娱乐活动非常棒。

是的。又是公司成功的一年，庆祝活动很精彩! 很荣幸被邀请。
Mr. Lee: Of course, of course. It wouldn’t be a celebration without our newest client. I am so glad you could make it! Will you be staying for the dance?
当然，当然。没有新客户参加，这就不算是庆祝了。很高兴您能成为我们的客户。留下来参加舞会，怎么样？

Jill: No, I have to head home pretty soon. I have an early morning tomorrow.
不了，我得尽快回家。明天我得早起。
Mr. Lee: Me, too. If you can wait for me, I’ll walk out with you. I just have to give a short speech to start the band off, and then I will be free to go.
我也是。如果您能等我，我想和您一起走。我得去说几句，让乐队开始演奏，然后我就可以走了。
Jill: Sure, I can wait a few minutes.
好的，我等您几分钟。
