外贸口语一点通第173期:参加展会之展台搭建

 　　Installation 展台搭建

　　A:Do the organization build the stands?

　　摊位是由组织者建造吗？

　　B:Generally, organizers provide basic shells or modules¹ and then the exhibitors complete themselves. And also the exhibitors can design and build their own stands from scratch. We are doing in this case.

　　一般来说，组织者提供基本的摊位外壳和单元，然后参展单位自己布置完成。当然参展单位也可以自己从无到有设计建造摊位。我们这一次就这么干。

　　A:Oh, no, I am afraid we can not construct the stands ourselves.

　　不，恐怕我们自己不能动手亲自建吧。

　　B:Of course. We will employ a firm of contractor² who specializes in stand construction, and discuss the design of our stand with them in detail tomorrow.

　　当然。我们准备雇用一家专业公司作为摊位建设承包商。明天和他们详谈摊位的设计问题。

　　A:That's a good idea.

　　不错的主意。

　　B:We have many things to be taken into our consideration: range of products to be displayed, amenities³ to be provided, the number of staff on duty, and so on. See to it that the estimate of the amount of space should be accounted.

　　我们有很多方面需要考虑：参展的产品范围、提供的服务设施、值班的人数等等。务必确保面积估计的准确。

　　A:When will the contractor produce the design?
