练习 1
According to Kevin, what does the Delavigne Corporation want from ChinaCorp?

According to Kevin, what does the Delavigne Corporation want from ChinaCorp?
Delavigne wishes ChinaCorp to handle some of its workload, but they do not want ChinaCorp to send personnel to the company.
Nothing is said about exporting Delavigne's products. Kevin is interested in outsourcing labor to ChinaCorp, which is different than exporting products.
This is not the best choice here. "Outsourcing" does not have anything to do with exporting products, but with production or work.
At the beginning of the dialogue, Kevin tells Mrs. Lee, "we're very interested in outsourcing some of our production to you and your workers". "Outsourcing" is a process in which companies send their work to other companies instead of doing the work with their own personnel. Kevin is visiting the factory in order to outsource the production of the Delavigne Corporation.

Fill in the blanks below using terms from the conversation you just heard.

This term describes 'force' or 'persuasion'.
'I am receiving a lot of pressure 1 from my wife to stop smoking.'

'The criminal demanded to be treated fairly 2 during the trial.'

This term shares a similar meaning with 'managing' or 'dealing with'.
'Susie is very good at handling 3 her busy work schedule.'
1 pressure: 'Pressure' describes force or persuasion, either physical or moral. Kevin refers to 'pressure' that American companies are under to adhere to human rights standards. This means that companies are being strongly encouraged to respect human rights standards. Other example: Teenagers are under more and more pressure to start smoking.
2 fairly: 'Fairly' is a synonym of 'justly': both terms describe something 'suitable', 'appropriate' or 'decent'. Mrs Lee says that 'ChinaCorp treats their workers 'very fairly.' Note that in a different context, 'fairly' shares a similar meaning with 'moderately' and 'reasonably', as in: 'It's fairly cold today'.
3 handling: In this context, 'to handle' is a synonym of 'to manage': both terms describe the act of directing or 'dealing with' a person, problem or thing. Example: My sandwich shop is able to handle 1000 customers an hour. Mrs Lee says that ChinaCorp is 'capable of handling' Delavigne Corp's production demands.
