【kaka礼节美语】084 特殊要求2

听力简介：

公关部主任Janet Liu召集下属开会，询问中东代表团的活动安排。上次说到，不同宗教有不同的饮食习惯：穆斯林吃Halal, 犹太人吃 Kosher。让我们听听Janet还有什么建议。

Janet Liu: And you might also want to reconsider the trip to the Karaoke bar. Muslims are forbidden to drink alcohol, although Jewish people can.

P: Wow, thanks for the info. We almost committed quite the social faux pas!

Janet提醒Silvia和Pete，穆斯林不喝酒，所以去酒吧唱卡拉OK恐怕有问题。Pete说自己差点儿犯了social faux pas社交错误。

J:---1---. It turned out half of them were vegetarian Hindus.

S: ---2---.

P: ---3---.

Janet承认，自己刚出道的时候也犯过错误，把印度人带到中国餐馆去吃饭，结果发现其中一半人是印度教徒，吃素。Silvia说，她会发电子邮件，fire off an email 给客人，询问他们有什么特殊的饮食要求。Pete说，会重新找个既能喝酒，也有其他饮料的地方。

J: ---4---. These people are our honored guests and it would have been terrible to offend them.

S: Absolutely, boss.

P: Yes, good points.

S: But what if we can't find a restaurant with Halal or Kosher food?

J: Check with them first, but one way to make sure everything is OK is to go to a vegetarian restaurant. Can't go too wrong with vegetables.

Janet建议说，实在不行，就找一家素食馆，肯定不会错。

P: ---5---.

J: Good thinking. OK, I got to run. Keep me posted on the restaurant issue.

S: We were thinking of a pen set made of jade with a gold trim. The set is embossed with the name of the seminar and each participant's name.

P: Absolutely.

S: Wow, Pete. We really dodged a bullet there!

P: Well, as the old saying goes, "You live and you learn."

Pete忽然想到，客人里可能有人抽烟，所以要问问旅店是否允许吸烟。Janet临走时说I got to run. 我得赶紧走了。她还说，Keep me posted.有消息随时告诉我。

Janet走后，Silvia说，We really dodged a bullet. 躲过了一个枪子儿，意思是真悬，差点出错！Pete的回答是 "You live and you learn." 活到老学到老。
