Getting To Know Your Coworkers: Welcome Party-商贸英语

STEVE: Would you like some more of this punch?
SUSAN: No, I don't think so. 
STEVE: Why not?
SUSAN: I'm afraid of it. It's sweet, but I think it's pretty strong.
STEVE: No, not at all. I've had five glasses already.
SUSAN: Yes, I can tell.
STEVE: What? Do you think I'm drunk?
SUSAN: No, I'm just kidding. But you do look like you're having a good time.
STEVE: So, c'mon. Have another glass of punch. It's just fruit juice.
SUSAN: It's not just fruit juice. But alright. I'll have one more glass.
KEVIN: Steve, are you trying to push that punch on poor Susan here?
You shouldn't trust this guy, you know. He likes to see people get drunk.
STEVE: Oh, Kevin! How can you accuse me?
You are the one who made this punch. It's your party!
I didn't pour the three bottles of vodka in it, did I?
KEVIN: There aren't three bottles of vodka in there, Steve.
STEVE: No, you're right. There are two bottles of vodka.
SUSAN: But you said it wasn't strong, Steve.
And now you're saying there are two bottles of vodka in it.
STEVE: Yes, I guess you caught me there.
SUSAN: So how long have you been with the company?
STEVE: Two years. I was hired by Kevin here.
KEVIN: Yes, that was my mistake.
STEVE: Kevin likes to tease me now, but it's true that he hired me.
KEVIN: He was really well-qualified for the job.
You can see, Susan, that I didn't hire him for his good looks.
STEVE: You are very funny tonight, Kevin.
SUSAN: No, he seems good-looking enough to me.
It's just maybe that his manners aren't too good.
STEVE: I am in a room full of comedians here.
Are you both going to be making such good jokes at the office too?
KEVIN: No, we will have work to do at the office. We will let you make the jokes.
But excuse me for a moment, I have to check on something in the kitchen.
You behave here, alright, Steve?
STEVE: Yes, Ma'am. I'll be good. Would you like some more punch?
SUSAN: No, I don't think so.
史堤夫：你还要一点潘趣酒吗？
苏珊：不，我不这么认为。
史堤夫：为什么不呢？
苏珊：我有点害怕。它很甜，但我认为它很烈。
史堤夫：不，一点也不。我已经喝了五杯了。
苏珊：是的，我看得出来。
史堤夫：什么？你以为我醉了吗？
苏珊：我是开玩笑的。但你看起来是很兴奋的样子。
史堤夫：唉，少来了。再来一杯潘趣酒吧，只是果汁。
苏珊：它并不只是果汁，但好吧。我再来一杯。
凯文：史堤夫，你想把那杯潘趣酒推往可怜的苏珊吗？
你不应该相信这家伙，你知道吗。他喜欢看别人喝醉。
史堤夫：喔，凯文！你怎么可以这样指控我？
你调的潘趣酒，这是你办的派对！
我并没有倒三瓶伏特加酒在里面，是吧？
凯文：那里并没有三瓶伏特加酒在里面吧，史堤夫。
史堤夫：你是对的，那里有两瓶伏特加酒。
苏珊：但你说它并不烈，史堤夫。
现在你又说有两瓶伏特加酒在里面。
史堤夫：对，我想你是抓到我了。
苏珊：你在公司待多久了？
史堤夫：两年。我是凯文应征我进来的。
凯文：是，那是我犯的错。
史堤夫：凯文现在很喜欢戏弄我，但他应征我进来是真的。
凯文：他是真的具备我们所要的条件。
你可以看到，苏珊，我并不是看他长的帅才聘请他的。
史堤夫：你今晚真有趣，凯文。
苏珊：不，对我来说他算是帅的。
只是或许他的举止并不是很好。
史堤夫：我在一间充满喜剧演员的房间。
你们是不是也要在办公室制造一些这样的玩笑呢？
凯文：不，我们在办公室要工作。我们让你来制造玩笑。
但容许我离开一下，我要去厨房检查一下东西。
你克制一下，好吗，史堤夫？
史堤夫：是的，女士。我会乖的。你还要点潘趣酒吗？
苏珊：不，我并不这么认为。
