观光 Sightseeing
做国际贸易的好处（perks）之一就是商务旅行（travel on business），借此机会可以到处旅游。
在接待外国客人时，你可以带他们四处观光，去游览些名胜古迹，尽地主之谊。

了解旅行信息
如果你要去国外旅行，一定别忘了要事先研究（do your homework）。对你的目的地要有个总体概念，包括博物馆、当地名胜、酒吧、餐馆等，这对你适应环境很有帮助（fit in）。
☉Can you tell me how to get to the train station?

☉How can I get to the Empire State Building?

独自旅行
跟团去观光能省心一些，但你别忘了独自旅行也是很特别的体验（adventure）。去一些旅行手册（guidebook）上找不到的地方会非常有意思。一般游客对主要景点趋之若鹜，但聪明的旅行者会选择一些大部分人不会留意，但也引人入胜（totally fantastic）的地方。而且，在这些地方总会淘到一些便宜货。
A：Do you want to go with me to the Metropolitan Museum?
B：Sure. Let's take the bus instead of a taxi.We'll see a little more of the city that way.
A：Okay. Look, they have a bus line that goes there directly.
A：你想不想和我一起去参观大都会博物馆？
B：当然。我们搭公交车去吧，不要搭出租车了。这样我们可以更好地欣赏这个城市。

A：Shall we visit Elis Island with the tour group tomorrow?
B：Actually, I was thinking of walking down to Central Park and doing a little sightseeing on my own. Want to come with me?
A：明天我们要跟团去游览埃利斯岛吗？
B：其实，我打算步行去中央公园，自己转转。你和我一起去吗？
国际客户
当你接待外籍客户（international guests）时，你可以教他们些简单的当地语言，如您好、谢谢、是∕否和再见等。这样，他们就可以与当地人进行更多的互动，丰富（enrich）他们的文化体验（cultural experience）。
A：Let me teach you a few useful phrases. Try this.“Ni Hao.”That means Hello.
B：“Nee How.”
A：Good job！
A：我来教您几句日常用语吧，“Ni Hao”的意思是说“你好”，试试。
B：Nee How。
A：真棒！
饮食和文化特色
当你在给客户介绍当地主要名胜（tourist attractions）时，别忘了介绍当地的饮食和文化特色。同时，要看的总是比时间允许的多，所以，千万别搞成让人精疲力竭的旋风（whirlwind）式观光。要对客户的体力有个大致的评估，一般情况下时差（jet lag）对他们多少有些困扰。要确保每个客人都能跟得上大家的步伐（pace）。
☉Would you like to try using chopsticks?I can teach you how.

要不下午我们先在酒店休息，然后再继续我们的游览？
总结“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？”更何况是来做生意，给你提供赚钱的机会。本着让客人“高兴而来，满意而归”的宗旨，在公务之外的活动上多花些心思，他们会永远记着你的人情。同样，为了生意和生活两不误，在去国外出差之前你就要多打听、多学习。如果有机会领略一般游客没有注意到的风景，那才是真的高人一筹。
