We were conducting a wine-tasting dinner for our company last month with some pretty high-level executives from a broad spectrum of industries. What they all had in common was this question: When I'm at a business dinner and they hand me the wine list (either because they think I know something about wine or because of my position)，what the heck am I supposed to do?
上個(gè)月我們?yōu)楸竟九e辦了一場葡萄酒品嘗晚宴，赴會(huì)的有一些來自各行業(yè)的級(jí)別相當(dāng)高的主管。他們都問到一個(gè)同樣的問題：在商務(wù)晚宴上別人把酒單遞給我時(shí)(或是因?yàn)樗麄円詾槲叶c(diǎn)葡萄酒或是因我擔(dān)任的職務(wù)的緣故)，我到底該怎么應(yīng)付呢?
John answered in one word: 'Cheat.' To which several people replied: 'Cheap?' Well, yes, but let's start at the beginning。
約翰的回答是一個(gè)詞：“忽悠”。有幾個(gè)人回應(yīng)道：“便宜?”(譯者注：英文中CHEAT和CHEAP僅一字母之差，且讀音非常相似)嗯，兩者都對(duì)。但還是讓我們從頭說起。
Ordering the wine at a business function is not unimportant. Business people are judged by just about everything they do, and an ability to order wine crisply and well probably takes on far more significance than it should. When we first wrote about this issue in 2000, we quoted someone who still remembered a young associate, 20 years earlier, nervously looking over the wine list and finally telling the sommelier, 'I think we'll try the Lancers.' In fact, this situation is even more fraught than it was in 2000 because of the recession. Back then, the person forced to choose the wine could simply focus on a California cult Cabernet or some other fancy bottle and everybody would be happy. These days, the bottom line when it comes to wine really is the bottom line. Successful business people are supposed to be able to identify value - and the wine list is no exception. This is where the 'cheap' comes in，

在商業(yè)場合上點(diǎn)酒的能力并非無關(guān)緊要。而商務(wù)人士的一言一行都會(huì)被當(dāng)作判斷其能力高低的依據(jù)，點(diǎn)酒是否干脆老練且讓人皆大歡喜，或許被賦予了遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出其本身的意義。我們記得當(dāng)我們的文章在2000年首次涉及這個(gè)話題時(shí)，我們引述了某個(gè)人講述的20年前的故事。他記得有位年輕的助理緊張地看著酒單，最后告訴侍酒師，“我想我們就嘗嘗Lancers吧”。事實(shí)上，由于目前經(jīng)濟(jì)的不景氣，這種事情的發(fā)生比2000年還要頻繁。在那個(gè)年代，被迫點(diǎn)酒者可以索性將重點(diǎn)放在加州California cult Cabernet酒或其它精美的酒上，而這樣做也會(huì)讓人皆大歡喜。如今，點(diǎn)酒的底線還真的是指價(jià)格的底線了。成功的商業(yè)人士都應(yīng)該是識(shí)貨的，在點(diǎn)酒上也不會(huì)例外。這就是我們所說的“便宜”的意思。
And here's where 'cheat' comes in: More and more restaurants have their wine lists online. Find it and study it before you go. See what fits into your budget and look up the wines online. By the time you are handed the list, you'll be able to make a snap judgment that will make it appear you know what you're doing and are a quick decision-maker to boot. If the wine list is not online, drop by the restaurant in advance, look over the list and talk with the sommelier. It's a small investment in time that will pay big dividends。
現(xiàn)在我們說說“忽悠”是怎么回事：如今越來越多的餐館把其酒單放在網(wǎng)上。請(qǐng)你上網(wǎng)找到酒單并在赴宴前對(duì)它進(jìn)行一番推敲，看看有什么酒在你的預(yù)算之內(nèi)，然后在網(wǎng)上了解一下這些酒。這樣，當(dāng)你拿到酒單時(shí)就可以迅速做出判斷，且這會(huì)讓你看起來像是很懂行而且是能迅速拿主意的人。如果網(wǎng)上找不到酒單，那就請(qǐng)事先到餐廳走一趟看下酒單并與調(diào)酒師聊聊。時(shí)間上的這點(diǎn)小投資會(huì)讓你有大回報(bào)的。
Even if this isn't possible, at least spend a few minutes doing some Web browsing on the type of wine likely to be listed. Northern Italian restaurant? You probably will see a delightful, well-priced Barbera. Greek restaurant? At least you can remember that Assyrtiko is the famous white wine from Santorini. If this simply isn't possible, here are some tips:
即使在上述條件不允許的情況下，你至少要在網(wǎng)上花上幾分鐘對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)在酒單上的葡萄酒做些調(diào)研。去北意大利風(fēng)味的餐廳嗎?那酒單上可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)令人愉悅且價(jià)格公道的Barbera酒。去希臘風(fēng)味餐廳?那你至少可以記住Assyrtiko是著名的產(chǎn)自圣托里尼島的白葡萄酒。如果所有這一切都不可能，那么下面還有一些建議給你：
1) Move fast. The longer you stare at the
