商业午餐(business lunch) 就是一种流行的商谈与社交合一的一种交际应酬方式 。 餐前，邀请人通常要向被邀请人讲清这次商业午餐的目的，比如 ： I'd like to introduce you to the new members of the project group. (我想要给你介绍项目组的新成员。)

如果无法成行，被邀请人应委婉地向对方回绝 ： I'm sorry, but I have another appointment. ( 对不起，我另有约会 。) 如果欣然接受，可以说： That sounds great. (那太好了。)

在商量好时间、地点之后，双方都应准时赴约 。一般说来，在吃饭时，大家会谈论一些轻松的与生意无关的话题，当餐具被收起，甜点上桌后，就可以提议 ： Can we talk a little bit about the project? (我们能否谈谈有关的工作计划 ？ )

这样双方就比较自然地转入工作话题了 。 午餐结束后，应由邀请方料理付帐的事情 ： We'll take care of the bill. (我们来付帐。)

双方告别时，邀请方要向接受邀请的对方道谢 ： We're glad you joined us. (我们非常高兴您的赏光 。) 谈判时如何表达自己的意见

在双方谈判的过程中，一定要注意倾听对方的发言，如果对对方的观点表示了解，可以说： I see what you mean. (我明白您的意思。)

如果表示赞成，可以说： That's a good idea. (是个好主意。) 或者说：

I agree with you. (我赞成。)

如果是有条件地接受，可以用on the condition that这个句型，例如： We accept your proposal, on the condition that you order 20,000 units. (如果您订2万台，我们会接受您的建议。 )

在与外商，尤其是欧美国家的商人谈判时，如果有不同意见，最好坦白地提出来而不要拐弯抹角，比如，表示无法赞同对方的意见时，可以说： I don't think that's a good idea. (我不认为那是个好主意。) 或者

Frankly, we can't agree with your proposal. (坦白地讲，我无法同意您的提案。) 如果是拒绝，可以说：

We're not prepared to accept your proposal at this time. (我们这一次不准备接受你们的建议。) 有时，还要讲明拒绝的理由，如

To be quite honest, we don't believe this product will sell very well in China. (说老实话，我们不相信这种产品在中国会卖得好。)

谈判期间，由於言语沟通问题，出现误解也是在所难免的：可能是对方误解了你，也可能是你误解了对方。在这两种情况出现後，你可以说：

No, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. What I was trying to say was..... (不，恐怕你误解了。我想说的是......) 或者说：

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Then I go along with you. (哦，对不起，我误解你了。那样的话，我同意你的观点。 )

总之不管你说什么，你最终的目的就是要促成一笔生意。即使不成，也要以善意对待对方，也许你以后还有机会，生意不成人情在，你说对吗？
