在商展
推销员：早上好，需要帮忙吗？
进口商：我想你可不可以给我更多有关你们正在展示的这台计算机模型的信息呢？
推销员：很高兴能帮助您。给您看看我们的宣传资料包怎么样？
进口商：谢谢。我发现你们的电脑可以与IBM完全相容。
推销员：是的，这个模型能运行所有的软件、DOS程序以及IBM个人计算机所能运行的这些软件及程序。
进口商：这些模型看起来很小。
推销员：是的，我们公司要解决的问题之一就是过去当我们继续研发这一电脑时我们在尽力废除大量IBM台式电脑的影响以及对它们的种种克隆。我们的电脑只有11磅。
进口商：了不起！没有什么能比得上看到问题并解决它从而创建一个好产品那么好的了。零部件全都是台湾制造的吗？
推销员：是的，我们只在台湾做一些分包。这些电脑是在这生产的。
进口商：请问您服务于哪家公司呢？
推销员：我是李斯电脑供应公司的代表，是大规模的折价邮购公司。您想参观我们的工厂或许仅仅一两个分包商？
进口商：若不会花太多时间安排的话我很乐意。我预定星期五乘机回美国。
推销员：我保证能在那之前完成。见见我们公司的创办人怎么样？您是否有兴趣和他谈论有关即将面世的这一模型？
进口商：是的，我认为那很有用。谢谢您帮忙。
