A: For our lunch meeting with the investors, do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant or do we just show up?

我们中午要和投资方见面，需要向饭店预订位子吗？还是直接过去？

B: Usually for lunch, we don't have to reserve a table, they should allow walk-ins. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a table for half-past twelve. Will that suit your schedule?

一般中午饭我们不需要提前预订位置，他们应该能够接纳未预定的客人，但是为了保险起见，我去预定12点半的一桌，这和你的安排不冲突吧？

A: I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve; Can you make the reservation a little earlier? If we start earlier, it will give us more time for a longer lunch.

我已经安排与他们12点在饭店见面，你能把预约的时间再稍微提前一点儿吗？如果我们早点儿开始的话，我们就可留出更多时间吃午饭。

B: Are you planning on treating the investors to a full-course meal?

你打算请投资方是一顿丰盛的午饭吗？

A: Yes, we'll start with appetizers, follow with a soup and salad course, than main dishes of prime rib or cordon bleu chicken, and finish up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort. 

是的，我们先上些开胃食品，接着是汤和沙拉，然后主菜是上等的排骨和一流的厨师烧的鸡，最后是各种美味丰盛的餐后甜点。

B: That'll be pretty heavy for mid-day meal, don't you think? 

这样的午餐会不会太腻了？

A: As long as we stay away from anything alcoholic, we should be ok.

只要我们不喝酒，应该没问题的。

 B: With your prime rib and chicken choices, you'd better hope nobody'svegetarian.

有了上等的排骨和精选的鸡肉，你最好希望大家都不是素食者。

A: We can make some special arrangements If we need to, After all, it's the company who is footing the bill. 

如果有必要，我们可以个别再安排，毕竟是公司买单。
