Tara: Eve! Over here! Eve!

夏娃！在这里！夏娃！

Eve: Tara! How lovely to see you!

塔拉！真高兴看到你。

Tara: I thought I wouldn't be on time. I've left the baby with Tom.

我以为我不能准时到达呢。我把孩子交给汤姆了。

Eve::It doesn't seem like three weeks since I was last here, It feels like yesterday.

这根本不像是我上次三个星期前来过这里，感觉好像是昨天。

Tara:Where's all your luggage?

你的行李在哪里？

Eve: Oh I've only brought one case with me. The rest's coming by air from Centreville.

哦，我只带了一个箱子。其余的从Centerville空运来。

Tara: When's Carl coming?

卡尔什么时间来？

Eve: I'm not sure exactly, He's got a few things to do, He'll be here as soon as he can... I hope.

我不确定，他有几件事情要做，我希望...他会尽快到这里。

Tara: Come on, I've got the car.

来吧，我有车。

Eve:Did Paul manage to get the extra shipment off to Bill Cornell, Tara?

塔拉，保罗安排比尔.康奈尔的额外订单发货了吗？

Tara: Yes, thanks to the new trucks arriving ahead of shcedule, and the expansion of the assembly plant has been completed in record time.

是的，多亏新卡车比预期提前到达，使装配厂的扩建已经以创纪录的时间完成了。

Eve: Well, that's good news.

好，这是个好消息

Tara:Do you want to go to the house first and then to Jayals?

你想先去家里然后去贾亚尔吗？

Eve: Let's go to Jayals, There may be news from Carl about these import quotas.

我们还是去贾亚尔吧，可能有来自卡尔的有关进口配额的消息

Tara: Fine, We're almost there,anyway ... Look, there's Paul.

好的，反正我们马上就到那里，瞧，保罗在那儿。

Eve: Hello. Paul.

你好，保罗

Paul: Eve! How nice to see you in my office, I'll be up in a minute.

夏娃！很高兴在我的办公室看到你，我一分钟后去楼上。

Eve: I'll see you then. Paul. Bye.

一会儿见， 保罗。再见

Tara: Eve, before we go up, How serious do you think this import quota problem really is for Jayal Motors?

夏娃，在我们上去之前，你认为这个进口配额问题对贾亚尔摩托真的那么重要吗？

Eve: Well, I don't think the import quota is as serious as everyone's making out. It's just the government being cautious,I'm sure a deal will be negotiated which'll suit all parties ... But then again, I don't think it's wise to be wholly dependent on one market anyway...

嗯，我不认为进口配额象每个人认为的那样严重。这只是政府谨慎，我相信一个协议将要商议，并将适合所有各方...但是，还有，我认为完全依赖一个市场是不明智的。

Paul: Welcome back. Eve. Much sooner than we expected, but we're not complaining.

夏娃，欢迎回来。 比我们预期的早得多了，这可不是我们的抱怨啊。

Eve: It's nice to be back, Has Carl contacted you yet?

很高兴回来，卡尔与你联系过吗？

Paul: No, no. We've been waiting to hear from him.

不，没有。我们一直在等待他的回音

Eve: Ah, He's rather tied up at the moment.

啊，他现在很忙

Paul:Oh, dear! Anything special?

噢，我的天！有什么特别事的吗？

Eve: Well, he is meeting a number of representatives from other developing countries ... to persuade the Industria government to give them exemption from the import quotas.

嗯，他正在会见来自其他发展中国家的一些代表......说服INDUSTRIA政府给予他们进口配额豁免。

Paul:Yes. they're coming under a great deal of international political pressure.

是的。他们正面临着巨大的国际政治压力

Eve: But they are putting developing countries forward for special consideration.

但他们正在把发展中国家推向前面，以供特别考虑

Paul: But it's difficult to see the government making concessions so late in the day.

但是很难看到政府在这么晚的时候做出让步。

Eve:Oh, I don't know. I'm optimistic.

哦，我不知道。我很乐观

Tara: Oh but Eve, you've got to remember Zuritania has import tariffs on foreign bikes, and if we want the controls lifted, we should be prepared to cut our tarriffs.

哦，但夏娃，你应该知道苏黎世对外国摩托车有进口关税，如果我们想要别国解除控制，我们应该准备削减我们的关税。

Eve: Mm. You've got a point.

嗯。你说道点子上了。

Tara:After all, since we have shown we can compete with the rest of the world, our government can not longer claim to be protecting an infant industry.

既然由于我们已经证明我们可以与世界其他地方竞争了，我们的政府就不能再声称要保护一个新兴产业了。

Paul:That's true, love, but a separate deal can't be made just for bikes, you know.

这倒是真的，亲爱的，但你知道，一个单独的协议不能只为摩托车。

Tara: Why not?

为什么不？

Paul:Well, you see the import controls affect not only bikes from Zuritania, but lots of other products, which the goverment may genuinely be subsidizing and protecting.

嗯，你看到这进口管制不仅影响来自苏黎世的摩托车，还有许多政府可能真正补贴和保护的其他产品。

Eve: Mm. yes, But my point is, if we didn't entirely depend on Industria for our export market, we wouldn't be so worried about the controls.

嗯。是的，但我的观点是，如果我们不是完全依赖Industria作为我们唯一的出口市场，我们就不会那么在乎他们的进口管制。

Paul:Of course, you're absolutely right, Eve. Look, I'll talk to Chris Mayo tomorrow when I see him in Dabu and mention the possibility of a separate deal on the bikes - and I'll talk to him about opening up into new markets as well.

当然，你是绝对正确的，夏娃。瞧，我将在达布和克里斯·梅奥谈谈，并提到有关摩托车的单独交易的可能性。并且， 我会和他谈谈开拓新市场的可能性。

Tara: Right! Now let's have some lunch, Eve, you must be starving.

对！现在我们应该用午餐了，夏娃，你必须饿坏了吧
