Telephone English
RUPERT: Rupert Andrews.
ISABELLE: This is Isabelle Rollette; I'm returning your call.
RUPERT: Isabelle, thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I was calling because Mr. Valence asked me to get in touch with you.
ISABELLE: Yes, I got your message.
RUPERT: I wanted to talk to you about setting up a meeting either later today or first thing tomorrow.
ISABELLE: Tomorrow would be better for me.
RUPERT: Fine. As you probably know, Global Solutions is a consulting firm.
The Board of Belle Vie believes that there are ways to improve the company's performance, so Bernard Valence has brought us in to see what we can do to help.
I'd like to get together with you to look over your financial statements and have you fill me in on the details.
ISABELLE: Of course. I think that's a good idea.
RUPERT: We would like to understand which products are contributing to the bottom line and which are not.
ISABELLE: I can provide you with information about each product line on our income statement.
Is there anything else?
RUPERT: Yes. I'd like to talk about your plans for financing your expansion into men's fragrances.
It would be helpful if we could look at your balance sheet together.
ISABELLE: Let me get the information together.
I'll call you back later this afternoon to set up a time for our meeting.
RUPERT: That'll be fine.
ISABELLE: OK, then, talk to you soon.

Belle Vie 的董事会认为有办法改进公司的业绩，因此 Bernard Valence 介绍我们来看一看能帮点什么忙。
我非常想和您碰个头浏览一下你们的财务报告，并且想请您就细节问题给我介绍一下。
ISABELLE: 当然。我认为这是个好主意。

ISABELLE: 我将在收入报告中把每个产品种类的信息提供给您。
还有其它事吗？

如果我们能一起看看贵公司的资产负债表，这将非常有用。
ISABELLE: 让我把这些信息收集起来。
今天下午晚些时候，我将给您回电话安排开会时间。
RUPERT: 那好。
ISABELLE: 好的，那么回头再谈。
