在这一对话中,Jean Simmons 要开始她的第一次商务旅行.她正和同事Kyle Mathews谈论此Jean:Hey Kyle,guess what!The boss is sending me to the West Coast for a marketing seminar next month.
嗨,Kyl,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.
Kyle:Ah hah,you must be happy.You've been itching to go on a business trip for months.
啊哈,你肯定很高兴.你想出差都想好几个月了.
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?
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?
Kyle:Sure,no problem.First,go 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 tickets and itinerary in a
few days.At the same time,ask her for an application form for the
card.
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.
Jean:Will I use the card for everything?
一切费用都要用那张卡吗?
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.
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.
Jean:Do I pay out of my own pocket?
我要花自己的钱吗?
Kyle:Afraid so.We used to have cash advances,but the company stopped that when they started issuing cards.
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.
Jean:Will the company reimburse everything?
公司会报销所有费用吗?
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.
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.
Jean:Anything else?
还有其他的吗?
Kyle:Since you'll be traveling 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.
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贴之一.到时候告诉我你是怎么带着旅行包生活的. 在这一对话中,Jean Simmons 要开始她的第一次商务旅行.她正和同事Kyle Mathews谈论此Jean:Hey Kyle,guess what!The boss is sending me to the West Coast for a marketing seminar next month.
