[每日情景对话] 美食话题 & 饮料 Drinks
A：
Tonight is a party night! What drinks do you think we need?
今晚聚会！你认为我们需要什么饮料呢？
B：
Well, not everyone wants to drink beer. Make sure there are some soft drinks and juice. Nothing’s as refreshing as iced drinks on a hot day.
呃，不是所有人都喝啤酒吧。确保还要写软饮料和果汁。
A：
I don’t think we need too much in the way of soft drinks. Two super bottles of Cola should cover everyone. What about wine?
我觉得软饮料不用买太多吧。两大瓶可乐就足够了。葡萄酒呢？
B：
Just buy a cask of wine. Have you bought ice yet?
一桶葡萄酒吧。你买冰块了吗？
A：
No, once I fill the tub with beer, I’ll get the ice. The beer will be cool if you put the tub under the ice. The cooler, the better.
还没有，我灌满啤酒就去。酒罐下放些并会让啤酒冰爽。越凉越好。
B：
I think a bottle of champagne would be a good idea. It’s appetizing and tasty.
我觉得买瓶香槟也不错啊。既开胃又好喝。
A：
Well, if you say so. Personally speaking, I’d rather die of thirst than drink champagne.
好吧，既然你这么说。我个人觉得，我宁愿渴死也不喝香槟。
进入外企，如果你想有条不紊的完成手里面堆成小山的工作，而且不会误了deadline的话，那你的法宝就是To Do List。一定要做一个很有条理的Excel表格，把项目的名称、期限、具体内容、特别注意、进展情况等都列成一个表，随时follow up自己的进度。这样，不仅能让自己变得有条理，而且在老板问起来的时候也好有个实实在在的东西给她/他看。同时，这也是日后写绩效评估的一个文字依据啊，何乐而不为呢?
