Going on Business 商务出行
1.Daily Dialogue 日常会话
Business trip
Jean：Hey， Kyle， guess what！The boss is sending me to the West Coast for a marketing seminar next month.
Kyle：Ah hah， you must be happy. You've been itching to go on a business trip for months.
Jean：Yeah， and he said there'll be more coming up， so I should get a corporate card. Problem is，I don't know how to proceed， and I didn't want the boss to know that.Can you fill me in？
Kyle：Sure， no problem. First， go to see the secretary and tell her where you're going and when.She'll arrange for transportation and hotel through our travel agent and give you the ticket and itinerary in a few days.At the same time， ask her for an application form for the card.
Jean：Will I use the card for everything？
Kyle：No， we have company credit arrangements with some major airlines and hotels. For this trip， you'll probably only use it for food.Not all restaurants accept the card， so you may have to pay cash.
Jean：Do I pay out of my own pocket？
Kyle：No， there are maximum per diem rates. I'll give you a list.Of course， personal items aren't covered.And make sure you keep all your receipts.You'll have to attach them to your expense account when you get back.
Jean：Anything else？
Kyle：Since you'll be travelling often， apply for a frequent flyer card. Gathering frequent flyer miles is one of the perks of OCS travel.And let me know how you like living out of a suitcase.
商务出行
简：嗨，钱德勒，你猜怎么着！老板下月要我去西海岸参加一个市场营销研讨会。
钱德勒：啊哈，你肯定很高兴。你想出差都想好几个月了。
简：是的，他说以后还有更多。所以我应该有一张公司信用卡。但问题是我不知道如何申请，而且不想让老板知道。你能帮我吗？
钱德勒：当然了，没问题。首先去找秘书，告诉她你要去哪儿，什么时候去，她会通过我们的旅行代理，为你安排交通和酒店，并在几天内给你旅程表。同时问她要一张信用卡申请表。
简：一切费用都要用那张卡吗？
钱德勒：不，我们和一些主要航空公司和酒店都有公司信用协议。这次旅行你也许只会用它来吃饭。但并不是所有的饭店都接受这种信用卡。你也许要付现金。
简：我要花自己的钱吗？
钱德勒：恐怕是。我们以前是预支差旅费，但自从公司使用信用卡后，就停止了。
简：公司会报销所有费用吗？
钱德勒：不，有每日最高限额。我会给你一个表。当然私人用品不算在内。记得必须保留所有收据。回来后，你必须把他们贴在报销单上。
简：还有其他的吗？
钱德勒：既然你要经常出差，去申请一张飞行积分卡。积累飞行里程是商务旅行的额外补助之一。到时候告诉我你是怎么带着旅行包生活的。

2.Cultural Baptism 文化洗礼
大采购
在美国，购物可以说是一周一次的例行公事（once-a-week affairs）。全家人会轮流推着手推车穿梭在超市里，挑选下一周内会用到的商品。结账之后，购物者会带着大包小包的盒装或罐装的食物、饮料、肉类和甜品从商店出来，再把购买的商品放到车上去。因为美国商品的容量比较大，所以购物者如果没有开车去卖场，想要把东西带回家是非常辛苦的事。
新鲜易坏的水果、沙拉绿叶蔬菜和青菜，通常都会被装在密封好的袋子（factory-sealed bags）里，打开就可以直接食用，非常方便。一般来说，美国家庭杂货用品的账单金额会比其他项目来得高，一家四口的杂货通常会超过一百五十美元。
不像东方人多住在传统市场附近，美国人大多数住在城市外围，想要买东西必须开一段路才能到达商店。若本身有土地会耕种农产品的人，多会在农民市场（farmer’s market）摆摊，不过他们的产品要价较高，想要省钱的人最好去中国城（Chinatown）。
