吴经理，好久不见啊，你们今年也来参展啊！
Wú jīnglǐ ，hǎojiǔbújiàn ā ，nǐmen jīnnián yě lái cānzhǎn ā ！
Mr Wu, long time no see, you came to take part in the expo this year too!
是啊，陈总！这个展是我们业务部每年的固定行程。

Yes, Ms. Chen! This is a fixed part of our sales department's itinerary.
你去年不是说，成效不佳，今年可能就不打算来了？
nǐ qùnián búshì shuō ，chéngxiào bù jiā ，jīnnián kěnéng jiù bù dǎsuàn lái le ？
Didn't you say last year that results weren't good and that this year you weren't planning on coming?
欸，其实现在网路发达，我们很多客户都是直接在网上联络。我并不觉得参展很有效率，但是我们老板还是觉得参展有它的好处。
ǎi ，qíshí xiànzài wǎnglù fādá ，wǒmen hěn duō kèhù dōu shì zhíjiē zàiwǎngshàng liánluò 。wǒ bìngbù juéde cānzhǎn hěnyǒu xiàolǜ ，dànshì wǒmen lǎobǎn háishì juéde cānzhǎn yǒu tā de hǎochu 。
Oh! Actually, nowadays the internet is so developed, lots of our clients contact us directly online. I don't think that attending the expo is very effective, but the boss thinks that attending still has some benefits.
