Mr. Lo: My good friend’s birthday is coming soon. I have no clues what to buy him.
我好朋友的生日快到了。我不知道該買什麼送給他。

是您哪一位朋友呢？
Mr. Lo: You know him, too. It’s Mr. Tang from the OPI.
你也認識他。就是OPI的湯先生。
Helen: I remember you gave him a delicate calligraphic painting last year.
我記得您去年送他一幅精緻的字畫。
Mr. Lo: Yes, and he liked it very much. But, this year…
是啊，而且他很喜歡。但是今年……
Helen: I’ve got it. I heard him saying that he was very into wine collecting.
我想起來了。我曾聽他說過他很熱衷於收藏葡萄酒呢！
Mr. Lo: That’s right. I almost forgot about that.
沒錯。我差點忘了。
Helen: Why don’t you give him a very fine bottle of wine?
您何不送他一瓶很棒的紅酒呢？
Mr. Lo: Great idea! I need you to do that for me.
好主意！我需要你幫我忙。
Helen: I’d love to, but I am clueless about wine.
我很樂意，但我對葡萄酒的了解不多。
Mr. Lo: That’s easy. Just go to a liquor shop and ask the clerk to introduce you couple bottles of
world-class wine. I want to give him two bottles of wine as his birthday presents.
那簡單。直接去賣酒的店，請店員介紹幾瓶世界級的葡萄酒。我想送他兩瓶葡萄酒

*貼心秘書來幫忙
老闆（主管）要接洽的客戶很多，貼心的秘書可以幫上什麼忙呢？
－記下客戶的喜好興趣。
－搜集相關情報，提供給老闆（主管）選擇。
－禮品資訊建檔，便於查詢。
*前輩『巧巧』說
秘書常常身邊都要有一本寶典，寶典裡面裝些什麼呢？其實就是名片啦！除了幫忙整理客戶的名片，將一些訊息建檔，方便老闆（主管）隨時問，都能以最快的方式查到之外，還有像飯店、餐館、便當店、花店、水果行等名片，也都可以趁平時就多多蒐集。因為老闆（主管）的應酬很多，有客戶來訪時，有可能會一起用餐談公事，這時如果手邊能有這樣的資訊，就可以馬上看要訂什麼樣的餐廳，迅速打電話預約，當然現在網路、智慧型手機都很方便，平時在逛網頁時，也可以將網頁依類別加
