Any idea why they were stalling? : 왜 망설였는지 아십니까?
A : How did your business trip go ? It was your first one overseas, right ?
(사업 출장 어떻게 되었습니까? 첫번째 해외 출장이지요?)
B : Well, I came back with mixed results. We got some business but we didn't get the big deal we were expecting.
(좀 복잡한 결과를 얻고 돌아왔습니다. 몇가지 성과는 있었으나 우리가 기대했던 큰 거래는 얻지 못했습니다)
A : That was going to be with Pro AdTech, wasn't it ?
(프로애드텍과의 협상이었지요?)
B : That's right. It was frustrating. We seemed to be making good progress in the negotiation and then they began to stall.
(맞습니다. 협상은 절망적이었습니다. 협상에서 잘 진행되는 듯 했는데 그들은 망설이기 시작했습니다)
A : Any idia why they were stalling?
(그들이 왜 망설였는지 감이 옵니까?)
B : We weren't sure, but I've since learned that our biggest competitor was there at the same time as we were.
(우리는 몰랐습니다. 그러나 우리의 가장 큰 경쟁사가 우리가 그곳에 있었던 것 처럼 그들도 거기에 있다는 것을 알았습니다)
A : Maybe they were talking to them the same time as negotiating with you.
(어쩌면 당신과 협상하는 동안 그들과도 동시에 협상했겠군요)
B : I think that's pretty likely.
(그랬으리라고 봅니다)
Have a nice day!
