是的，我觉得很幸运，我一直希望能同海外公司做生意，并借此机会锻炼英语。

B: I'm sorry to bring this up now, but would it be possible for you to write me a letter of recommendation before you go?

我很抱歉现在向你提个要求，你在走之前可以帮我写一封推荐信吗？

A: Of course I can. In fact, if there are any other job opportunities at this new company. I'll recommend you personally.

当然可以。实际上，如果这家新公司有合适的工作机会的话，我个人会推荐你。

B: Thanks. I appreciate that.
