相传东晋时，浙江祝员外家有位千金祝英台，生得聪明娇美、活泼灵秀、纯真执着。从小喜读诗书，琴棋书画，无所不能。后来，她千方百计说服父母，女扮男装去杭州读书。出门不久，即遇上书生梁山伯。两人情投意合，折柳代香，义结金兰。在书院两人朝夕相处，感情日深。三年后，英台返家，临行前英台将自己是位女儿之身告诉了师母，托师母为媒，叫山伯前去提亲。在梁山伯送祝英台的途中，英台多次以物喻人，暗示自己是个女子。但忠厚淳朴的梁山伯，一直没有领会她的用意。后来梁山伯经师母指点，知道真相，便飞赴祝员外家提亲。谁料祝员外已将女儿许配他人，任凭祝英台百般哀求，祝员外执意不肯退婚，梁山伯得知后犹如晴天霹雳。回家后悲愤交加，一病不起，不治身亡。英台听闻山伯为己而死，悲痛欲绝。不久，英台被迫出嫁，当花轿绕道至梁山伯坟前，英台执意下轿，哭拜亡灵，一时之间风雨大作、阴风惨惨，梁山伯的坟墓突然裂开，英台见状，奋不顾身地跳进去，坟墓马上合拢起来。顷刻之间，风也停了，雨也住了，天空又晴朗起来。随即看到一对彩蝶从坟墓中翩翩而起，自由自在地飞向了远方的天空。

According to legend, in the period of the Eastern Jin dynasty, in Zhejiang Province, the landlord Zhu had a daughter, Zhu Yingtai. She was a beautiful and intelligent girl, lively, sincere and stubborn. From childhood she was fond of studying, she was thoroughly accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Later, she convinced her parents to let her go study in Hangzhou, disguised in man's clothes. Soon on her journey she met with a young scholar, Liang Shanbo. The two were closely associated, showing deep feelings for each other. 3 years later, before Yingtai returned home, she entrusted her teacher's wife to act as matchmaker and to call on Shanbo to propose marriage. When Liang Shanbo was sending her off on the road, Yingtai many times didn't behave as to suggest she was a woman. But Liang Shanbo was honest and considerate. All along, he didn't grasp her intention. Later, Liang Shanbo knew the truth after pointers from the teacher's wife. It would be expected that her father would betrothe her to another man. No matter how Yingtai implored in every possible way, her father decided not to cancel the marriage. Liang Shanbo learned about it later, like a bolt from the blue. When he returned home he was overcome with grief and indignation. He fell ill and died. Yingtai heard that Shanbo killed himself, he was heart-broken and sorrowful. Soon, Yingtai was forced to get married. The bridal sedan chair made a detour to get to Liang Shanbo's grave. Yingtai insisted on getting off the sedan chair. All of a sudden, it became chilly and gloomy with wind and rain. Liang Shanbo's grave burst open. Yingtai fearlessly jumped in and suddenly the wind stopped and the rain too. The sky turned sunny again. A pair of butterflies danced into the sky from the grave.

培训师：大家好！我是销售部负责培训销售的培训师，我姓肖，大家叫我肖老师吧！
销售：肖老师好！
培训师：我的工作是提高客户对本店的满意度，尽可能好地维护客户关系，提高销售额。诸位平时都在和客户打交道，你们是我们商店的代表。我给大家上的第一堂课就是尽可能亲切友好礼貌地和客户互动。
销售：肖老师，有些时候，我们遇到的客户极其粗鲁，他们连“你好”都不说，戳着我的肩膀就喊“喂！”
培训师：确实，我们经常碰到这样的客户。记住，你们的工作不是把这些“粗鲁”的客户拒之门外，而是要让他感觉到自己受到了真诚的欢迎。
销售：可是有些顾客，他们在店里走来走去，走了半个小时也不知道自己究竟想要什么，最后什么也没买，陪着他们简直是浪费时间！
培训师：这是你们的另一项重要的工作，帮助客户清晰自己的需求，给他们提供选项，引导他们做决定。这项工作非常重要，优秀的销售很善于给不同的客户推荐适合他们的产品。
销售：可是我也不是他妈，我怎么知道他需要什么！
培训师：如果你什么都知道，要我干嘛呢？

You usually deal with customers and you're the representatives of our stores. I'll give you the first lesson. Be as friendly as possible, interact politely with customers.
S : Teacher Xiao, sometimes, we encounter the rudeness of customers. They don't even say "hello", they just poke you on the shoulder and shout "hello"!
T : Indeed, we often encounter such customers. However, remember, your job is not to refuse them to enter the store, but to let them feel welcome sincerely.
S : But some customers come and go in the store, walk around half an hour and still don't know exactly what they want. Finally, they don't buy anything. It's simply a waste of time with them.
T : This is your another important work : help customers to resolve their needs, provide them with options, guide them to make decisions. This is very important : to make excellent sales it is very good to recommend to different customers suitable products.
S : But I'm not better than him. How do I know what he needs!

最近，我想买一套房子。我在北京的郊区有一套别墅。但是我厌烦了每天开车往返于郊区和市区的生活。我希望我的新房子能够坐落在市中心。那儿有繁华的商业街，有便利的购物中心，有近便的医院和学校。
但是我咨询了几家房地产中介机构，结果让我大吃一惊。我心目中的好房子要让我卖掉郊区的别墅，并且要承担巨额的贷款。我可不想再当房奴了。中介让我调整自己的心理预期。我生气地问他：“你的意思是我的100万买不了房子？”他说：“当然可以，如果您愿意搬到河北去的话！”

心涛：我刚刚去火车站买了三张去北京的高铁票。我周末想带我爸妈去北京玩儿。

心涛：最近是旅游旺季，机票没有折扣，比高铁票贵很多。
洋洋：哟，看不出来，你什么时候变得精打细算了？
心涛：其实啊，价格只是我考虑的一方面。另一个主要原因是，飞机起降时我父母都觉得头晕耳鸣，在空中飞行时也总是提心吊胆的。而高铁运行非常平稳，他们心理上更接受高铁。
洋洋：这样啊，那确实坐高铁比较好。
心涛：对啊，况且现在坐高铁到北京只要三四个小时。坐高铁并不比坐飞机慢。
洋洋：高铁这么快了吗？

Y : Oh, I can't figure out when you become budget conscious?

Y : Ah, so it's really better to take the high-speed train.
X : Besides, it takes only 3-4 hours to get to Beijing by high-speed train.
Y : High-speed train is that so fast?
