Lisa greets a visiting businessman at the airport
Lisa: The company has sent me to be your guide for the day. My name is Lisa.
Terry: Call me Terry, Lisa. Glad to meet you.
Lisa: Was your flight OK? Was airport security very strict?
Terry: Of course. Since “Nine-eleven” security has been high everywhere. They even searched my shoes!
Lisa: But they look like they were shined just five minutes ago.
Terry: You're very kind. Tell me, Lisa-has Taiwan had any problems with terrorism?
Lisa: No, but some people are worried about it, especially since Taiwan is a U.S. ally.

莉莎:公司今天派我来接待你。我是莉莎。
泰瑞:莉莎,叫我泰瑞就好。很高兴见到你。
莉莎:这一趟飞行还好吧?机场安全检查很严格吗?
泰瑞:当然了。从九一一之后,到处都加强安全检查。他们甚至还搜我的鞋子!
莉莎:但你的鞋看起来好像五分钟前刚擦过似的。
泰瑞:你夸奖了。跟我说,莉莎——台湾有恐怖主义的问题吗?
莉莎:没有,但有些人正担心着。
