20、 there is something for every client, whether its golf, baseball, tennis or auto racing.

30、nlike that in Britain, invitations to dine at an American home are relatively infrequent and should be considered quite an honor.

37、ainmentAlthough some people view entertaining clients as a superfluous activity, most businessmen believe that its essential in international business to build trust and gives a competitive edge. Just as Karen Branding, chairman, president and CEO of Busch Creative, says, “We host happy hours at fun

38、 restaurants that our clients really enjoy. These events allow our clients to meet our whole creative team and see the breadth of talent we offer.

40、satisfy (a need, for example) 滿足（如需要）The companys activities meet all the conditions in the contract. 這家公司的活動符合合同中的所有條款。Does the hotel meet your expectations? 這家旅館符合你的要求嗎?譯文雖然有很多人認(rèn)為招待客戶是一項多余的行為，但大多數(shù)商業(yè)人士仍然認(rèn)為這對在國際業(yè)務(wù)中建立信任，擁有一定的競爭優(yōu)勢是非常重要的。就像Busch Creative公司的董事會主席兼首席執(zhí)行官凱倫布朗丁所說的：“我們在客戶真正喜歡的餐廳款待他們。這樣客戶就能接觸

41、到我們這個富有創(chuàng)造力的團(tuán)隊，也就能看到我們的人才優(yōu)勢。而且，我們的團(tuán)隊也能在不同層次逐漸了解客戶，這樣我們就能更好地了解他們的需要?！盓xercises1.
