Mr. White: Pleased to see you. Welcome to our company. I hope you enjoy your first day here.
David: Thank you. Could I meet my new colleagues?

David: Good morning, Mr. White. It's my pleasure to meet you again.
Mr. White: Pleased to see you. Welcome to our company. I hope you enjoy your first day here.

戴维：早上好，怀特先生。很荣幸再次见到你。
怀特先生：很高兴见到你。欢迎加入我们公司，希望你第一天过得愉快。
戴维：谢谢。我可以见见我的新同事吗？
怀特先生：当然可以，跟我来。
误区解读
with是介词，后面跟人称代词时，要用其宾格形式。所以正确的表达应该是come with me。

杰瑞：嗨，我叫杰瑞，你是新来的吗？
杰克：是的，我叫杰克，这是我第一天上班。
杰瑞：哦，很高兴见到你。

戴维：久仰大名。
莎拉：是吗？

鲍勃：你能告诉我要怎样开展工作吗？
苏珊：好的。首先你要详细了解公司的业务范围和客户群。
鲍勃：是的，熟悉公司的相关信息很有必要。
误区解读
在英语中，如果主语比较长，为了避免头重脚轻，通常用it来作形式主语，而把真正的主语放在后面。
学有所用
I'm sorry to take ________ so much time of you.
A. up B. to C. off D. on
不好意思，占用你这么长时间。
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案：A
解析： take up是动词词组，表示“占据”。take to表示“带到”, take off表示“脱下；起飞”, take on表示“穿上；承担；呈现”。
温馨提示
time表示“时间”时是不可数名词，要用much而不是many修饰；而表示“次数；时期”，则是可数名词。
