问题 MEMO
To: All Staff
Subject: Mandarin speaking staff
Mr. Wang, a very distinguished guest who manufactures and distributes red wines in China, will visit us in New York next Monday. Although Mr. Wang is well versed in written English, he has expressed concerns about his conversational skills since this will be his first visit to America.
As Great Wall Red Wine is a potential big buyer of our grape products, we want to make his trip a memorable one. I would like to extend this invitation to anyone who speaks Mandarin to assist Mr. Wang for the seven days when he is in town to resolve any language barriers and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. I would prefer this person be a current employee of Sweety Grapes as he or she will have the added advantage of understanding our company’s working style and culture.
The job is simple. You will pick Mr. Wang up at the airport with some of our executives to welcome him. You will serve as an interpreter during his visits and meetings in the office. We will also require your presence and assistance when we take him for meals and city tours during the weekend. For seven days, you may be required to perform social activities at night and on the weekend. We hope that we can get someone from our team to assist us.
My sincere gratitude.

Subject: Mr. Wang’s visit
Dear Ms. Mayson,
I am sure that I can be of assistance if you still need someone for the translation assignment. I am a U.S. citizen, but my parents are Chinese. Being a traditional Chinese family, Mandarin is used as our household language. I will be all right with conversational Chinese and most of the translation requirements except with technical or special terminology, for which I will need to refer to a dictionary.
I will be available for the whole next week with the exception of the need to go on an onsite inspection on Wednesday. I am quite certain that I can reschedule that inspection if necessary. I will make myself available and open to meet any of Mr. Wang’s scheduled activities during his time with us.
Wayne
