Doug: So, has that book helped you in any way? Doug：那本書有幫到你什麼嗎？
Debbie: I can't begin to tell you how much it has helped me. I have learned so many negotiating tactics that will not only help me get the price I want, but will also help to achieve better operational performance and reduce risk. Debbie：我實在難以形容它對我有多大的幫助。我學到了很多協商策略，那不只幫我獲得理想的價錢，也幫我達到更好的營運績效還有減低風險喔。

Doug: I'm glad to see you so pumped and full of drive and determination! Doug：我很高興看到你這麼有元氣，而且還充滿動力與決心！
Debby: I've really learned a lot about tactical and strategic purchasing and I just want to share my knowledge with all my colleagues. Debby：我真的學到好多的策略與技巧性採買，我很想把我學到的分享給我所有的同事們。
Doug: Just don't get too carried away! You don't want people to think that you've been brainwashed by some late-night infomercial guy! Doug：別太激動呀！你不會想要讓大家覺得你是被某個夜間電視購物專家給洗腦了吧！
Debby: Right! Don't worry. I can lend it to you and you can make up your own mind about it. Debby：也對！別擔心。我可以把它借給你，然後你自己做決定。
Doug: No thanks. I hate reading books. I've never been a bookworm! Doug：謝謝，不過不用了。我不喜歡讀書。我向來不是個書呆子。
Debby: Okay. If you say so! Debby：既然你這麼說的話，那好吧！
Doug: I have to get back to work now. Take it easy! Doug：我現在得回去工作了。再見囉！
