1-- For our lunch meeting with the investors, do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant or do we just show up?
2-- Usually for lunch, we don't have to reserve a table, they should allow walk-ins. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a table for half-past twelve. Will that suit your schedule?
1-- I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve. Can you make the reservation a little earlier? If we start earlier, it will give us more time for a longer lunch.
2-- Are you planning on treating the investors to a full-course meal?
1-- Yes, we'll start with appetizers, follow with a soup and salad course, then main dishes of prime rib or cordon bleu chicken, and finish up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort.
2-- That'll be pretty heavy for a mid-day meal, don't you think?
1-- As along as we stay away from anything alcoholic, we should be okay.
2-- With your prime rib and chicken choices, you'd better hope nobody's vegetarian.
1-- We can make some special arrangement if we need to. After all, it's the company who is footing the bill.

譯文:
1--我們中午要和投資方見面,需要向飯店預(yù)定位置嗎?還是直接過(guò)去?
2--一般中午飯,我們不需要提前預(yù)定位子,他們應(yīng)該能夠接納未預(yù)約的客人。但是為了保險(xiǎn)起見,我去預(yù)定12點(diǎn)半商務(wù)一桌。這和你的時(shí)間安排不沖突吧?
1--我已經(jīng)安排與他們12點(diǎn)在飯店見面,你能把預(yù)約的時(shí)間再稍微提前一點(diǎn)嗎?如果我們?cè)琰c(diǎn)開始的話,我們就可以留出更多的時(shí)間吃午飯.
2--你打算請(qǐng)投資方吃一頓豐盛的午餐嗎?
1--是的,我們先上些開胃甜品,接著是湯和沙拉,然后主菜是上等的排骨或一流廚師燒的雞,最后是各種美味的餐后甜點(diǎn)。
2--這樣的午餐會(huì)不會(huì)太膩了?
1--只要我們不喝酒,應(yīng)該沒(méi)有問(wèn)題。
2--有了上等的排骨和雞肉,你最好希望大家都不是素食者。
1--如果有必要我們可以個(gè)別再安排,畢竟是公司買單。
