28、British are almost alike. And I also trusted a British gentleman I got along well with on the telephone until .B: Until when?A: Until I traveled to London to meet face-to-face with him to sign a contract. There was something that didnt seem right.B: What happened then?A: Throughout the presentation

29、none of the British, not even the man I had developed a phone relationship with, would look at us in the eye. It was like they were hiding something.B: You have to understand this, my friend. Whereas Americans believe that looking at someone directly in the eye during negotiations indicates honesty

30、and sincerity, the British believe such a gesture to be a mark of rudeness.A: I understand it now. I guess I shouldnt have taken it so personally.翻译Drills & ExpressionsPart IIDrill 8翻译Notes:“thought”是“think”的过去时，很多时候用来表达那些后来被证明是不正确的想法，所以往往翻译成中文的“原以为”，那么，这里的“ I thought at first”就可以翻译为“开始我以为”； “ I got

31、 along well with on the telephone”这里作定语修饰“a British gentleman”，整句可译为“一个我通过电话建立了良好关系的英国人”；在一个复合句中，如果“whereas”放在主句句首，就有“然而，反之”之意，如果放在从句句首则可以理解为“在的时候(从句)，却会(主句)”，所以本操练中的这句话应译为“在美国人认为的时候，英国人却觉得”；最后一个词“personally”原意为“亲自地、个人地”，在这里可译为“主观地、自以为是地”。Part IIDrills & ExpressionsA: 开始我以为美国人和英国人都是差不多的，而且我还曾经很信任一个我

32、通过电话建立了良好关系的英国人，直到B: 到什么时候觉得不对了呢?A: 直到我去伦敦与他面对面签合同的时候。总好像有点什么不对劲。B: 出什么事了？A: 在整个陈述的过程中，所有英国人，甚至包括那个我通过电话建立了良好关系的英国人，都不愿意直视我们的眼睛。看起来好像他们在隐瞒着什么。B: 你必须明白这一点，我的朋友。美国人认为谈判时直视对方的眼睛是表示诚实、真挚，而英国人却把这种行为视为粗鲁。A: 现在我明白了。我想在这件事上我是不应该这么自以为是的。Drills & ExpressionsPart IIEnglish for Chinese Typical Business Expressi
