情景对话
A: Oh, my God! Jack, is that you? We haven't seen each other after graduation. Where do you work?
B: Hi, Mike, what a nice surprise! I work in an architecture company now. You?
A: Oh, really? Me, too. What's the name of your company?
Maybe I know it.
B: It's Sunrise Architecture Company.
A: Gosh! What a small world! Your company is our foe. You know we have many conflicts in business. Your boss often quarrels with our boss. It seems they always have fights.
B: Really?!I never knew that. But I do know once our company was back stabbed by another company. Was that your company?
A: Yes, that was because your company did harm to ours.
Your boss is very hostile. once he even yelled and cursed our company. Our boss just wanted to revenge.
B: So then your boss made a hostile plan to fight our company? That's too childish.
A: I think so. I think they need to calm down and sit to negotiate. Our target is the market, not each other.
B: Quite right. I think we should have a fair competition.
Otherwise others may criticize us.
A: Let's go to our bosses, OK? Or we will be enemies. I hatethat.
B: OK, let's go.

A:噢，天呐!杰克，是你吗?毕业后我们就没见过面了。你在哪里工作呢?
B:嗨，迈克，真是个惊喜啊!我现在在一家建筑公司上班。你呢?
A:哦，真的么?我也是。你的公司叫什么名字?也许我知道哦。
B:日升建筑公司.
A:天呐!这世界真小!你所在的公司是我们公司的竞争对手唉。你知道这两家公司在生意上有很多矛盾的。你们老板经常跟我们老板吵架。似乎他们经常有冲突。
B:真的么?我一点都不知道。但是我知道我们公司有一次被另一家公司陷害了。那就是你们公司啊?
A:是的。那是因为你们公司害过我们公司。你们老板很不友善。有一次他甚至谩骂我们公司。我们老板只是想报复下。
B:所以你们老板就策划了一个敌对计划来陷害我们公司?真是太幼稚了。
A:我也这样认为。我觉得他们需要冷静，坐下来好好谈谈。我们的目标是市场，并不是对方。
B:太对了。我觉得我们应该公平竞争。否则别人会斥责我们的。
A:我们去找我们的老板吧?不然我们就成敌人了。我讨厌那样。
B:好，走吧。
