PARKER:It is the evening of our first day in China. The Goodwins and I spend it by relaxing at the Great Wall Hotel and going to one of the restaurants for supper. It's a beautiful restaurant called the Fan, and we have just ordered our meal.
I am rather an old-fashioned man myself and have pictured in my mind a country much more traditional than the elegant new surroundings of the hotel. however, at the retaurant I suddenly come to realize that I am in China after all.
(这是我们在中国第一天的晚上，GOODWIN夫妇和我在长城酒店放松，我们来到酒店里的一个餐厅吃晚餐，是个很漂亮的餐厅叫FAN，我们已经点好我们的菜。
我是非常守旧的人，在我的画面里中国应该是非常传统的而不是像我们酒店周围漂亮的新建筑，在餐厅里我突然意识到我确实在中国)
GOODWIN:This retaurant has a traditional design.It represents one China. Tomorrow, when we go to meet Li Wei, you'll see another one. Both of them are China. It's a very complex society, very interesting. in time I'll take you to the Peking Opera, and We'll visit the Great Wall and the Palace Museum... But tomorrow you'll see the new China. This country knows how to drive a hard bargain. David. You'll have to be on your tones.
（这个餐厅是传统的中国式设计，这是中国的一面，明天，我们去见李薇时，你将看到中国的另一面，这就是中国，是个非常复杂的社会，非常有趣，我将带你去看京剧，我们将参观长城和故宫，，，但是明天你将看到新的中国。这个国家知道如何极力讨价还价，大卫，你得留心哦）
PARKER:You're positively frightening,John.
（约翰，你真吓着我了）
GOODWIN:That's why I've brought you with me. David. because I know how good you are in tought situations. I appreciate the way you worked in London. It was because of you that we landed the contract.
（这就是我带你来的原因，大卫，因为我知道你在困难局面下非常优秀，我欣赏你在伦敦的表现，就是因为你我们才拿下那个合同）
PARKER:It's kind of you to say that.
（谢谢 你那么认可我）
GOODWIN: I know you'll be right behind me when I need you. if I fall, I know you'll pick me up, and if I step aside, I know you'll come forward with facts and figures.
（我知道当我需要你的时候你就会支持我，如果我失误，我知道你会给我救场，如果我躲到一边，我知道你就会挺身而出用事实和数据说话）
PARKER:You're talking this one very seriously.
(你这么严肃的谈论这个)
GOODWIN:I don't want to go home and face those Board members who told me it was foolish to come in the first place. I know what I'm doing. David. I know we can sign this contract, even though the others have failed, International swimwears, for example.
（我不想回去和面对那些告诉我说到这来是愚蠢的那些懂事，我知道我在做什么，大卫，我知道我们能签下合同，尽管别人失败了，国际泳装就失败了。）
PARKER: The big boys.
（那个大公司）
GOODWIN; The big boys.They went home with empty pockets .But I know what I'm doing. I've done business with Li Wei before; We can understand each other. We know and mutually respect each other. We both want to sign a contract, but both of us know we've go to make some concessions to do it.
（这个大公司，他们是空手而归的，但是我知道我将做什么，我和李薇做个生意，我们能互相理解，我们懂得彼此尊重，我们双方都想达成合同，我们双方都知道彼此让步来达到目的。）
