It gives me a great pleasure to h
16、ost the banquet in honor of our dear friends and dedicated experts, and celebrate the successful conclusion of our talks. In particular, Id like to thank Ms.Kelland for her coming. Without her last-minute effort, we would still be in the middle of nowhere, probably in the middle of negotiations, Im
17、afraid.B: Thank you, President Li. You all did very well. I just contributed my share. We all maneuvered successfully to get our job done, so to speak. Well, ladies and gentlemen, are we carrying out another round of talk over the dinner?A: No more business talks today. Weve already put an end to it

Whats special about Shanghai cuisine?A: Shanghai cuisine, usually called Benbang cuisine, is the young
20、est among the major regional cuisines in China, with a history of more than 400 years.

It emphasizes in particular the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw materials w
21、ith quality texture, and original flavors.B: It sounds very appetizing.A: Id like to recommend a special snack known as Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings and a special dish called“ Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish”. Nanxinang Steamed Meat Dumplings are small in size, with thin and translucent wrappers, f
22、illed inside with ground pork and rich tasty soup. The Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is yellow-colored and squirrel-shaped, with a crispy skin and tender meat, all covered with a sweet and sour sauce. They are absolutely tasters choice. I bet you will like them.B: Oh, I suppose they are the perfect
23、combination of the three elements“color, aroma and taste”. Especially the Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish. I cant figure out how the chef makes the dish look like a squirrel. Shall we add “appearance” to your judgement criteria?A: Absolutely right, plus “appearance”-that makes the fourth element. Ok,
24、here we are. Please help yourself to the dishes.B: The dinner is so delicious. The dishes are complete with color, aroma, taste and appearance. Thank you very much for your invitation and hospitality. I hope I havent missed anything, have I?A: Im very glad that you like the dishes. But this is just
25、the beginning of the dinner. We have more surprises to expect. Ladies and gentlemen, I consider it a great honor to have you all here for this wonderful time of the year. Let us drink to the health of Ms. Kelland.B: And toast to the health of President Li and to the health of everybody here. Cheers!
