117、level3-unit2-part3 listening-Paul's overseas trip2

Another problem with the trip was his travel schedule.
He needed to extend his stay in Japan.
One week in Japan wasn't enough.
Three Japanese restaurant owners wanted to meet with him.
He needed more time for the meeting than a couple of days.
And he didn't want to miss staying with a good friend of his.

这次旅行的另一个问题是他的行程安排。他需要延长在日本的逗留时间。在日本呆一周是不够的。三个日本餐馆老板想要见他。他需要更多的时间开会，而不是几天。还有他不想错过和他的一个好朋友呆在一起。

His friend lives near Mt. Fuji and owns a great restaurant.
This was one thing Paul didn't want to miss.
As a result, he extended his stay in Japan.
Instead of staying for just a week, he decided to stay for 10 days.

他的朋友住在富士山附近，拥有一家很棒的餐馆。这是保罗不想错过的一件事。因此，他延长了在日本的逗留时间。他没有只呆一个星期，而是决定呆10天。

As a result, he had to change the dates for his stay in China.
The meetings in China were delayed by three days.
Instead of arriving on the first of the month, he arrived on the fourth.
Fortunately, there were no problems with his new schedule in China.

因此，他不得不改变在中国停留的日期。在中国举行的会议被推迟了三天。他不是在月初到的，而是在4日到的。幸运的是，他在中国的新行程没有任何问题。

However, there were fewer meetings than he expected.
There wasn't much interest in opening new Italian restaurants.
Still, he had one very good meeting.
He met a young Chinese restaurant owner who was interested.
The young man already has a restaurant, but he wants to improve it.
He and Paul liked each other right away.
They met twice in Beijing and are planning to meet again.

然而，会议比他预期的要少。人们对开设新的意大利餐馆没有多大兴趣。不过，他还是开了一个很好的会。他遇到一位年轻的中国餐馆老板，他很感兴趣。这个年轻人已经有了一家餐馆，但他想改善它。他和保罗立刻就喜欢上了对方。他们在北京见过两次面，并计划再见面。

The young Chinese man's name is Yi.
He is planning to come to see Paul.
They are going to meet late next week in Toronto.
Together they will work on a business plan.
Paul is glad that he took the trip.
He thinks it was a successful and enjoyable trip.

这个中国年轻人的名字叫易。他打算来看保罗。他们将于下周晚些时候在多伦多会面。他们将一起制定商业计划。保罗很高兴他去旅行了。他认为这是一次成功而愉快的旅行。
