John entered the room with a smile, catching everyone’s eyes.
當John微笑著走進會議室時，所有的人都注視著他。
He cast an eye over the room, to find that there were about ten people and sitting at the head of a long conference table was the boss of the company, the decision maker.
他環視了一週，發現會議室裡坐著10個人，坐在長會議桌首席的是該公司的老闆，她是決策者。
John began his presentation as soon as he got to the platform, then kept his eyes peeled for the boss. After all, she was the one he had to convince, right?
John一走上講臺便開始了他的演講，眼睛一直關注著老闆。畢竟，她是他必須要說服的人，對吧？
As he proceeded, he noticed that the boss was all eyes. She was watching him and occasionally nodded her head at him. He thought to himself, “Hot dog! The boss is on my side.”
在演講的過程中，他注意到老闆的注意力很集中她注視著他，並時不時的點一下頭。他暗暗想道：“噢，老闆同意我的看法。”
As John continued his presentation, he said something to bother the man sitting mid-table, a few seats down to the left of the boss. The guy was in clear view of the boss at all times. The man reached but did not say anything. John didn’t keep an eye open for his reaction.
John繼續著，他說的一些東西似乎冒犯了坐在桌子中間左邊與老闆相隔幾個座位的一個人。那個人總在老闆的視野範圍之內。雖有反應但卻沒說什麼，而John並沒有在意他的反應。
John was so mesmerized by the fact that the boss agreed with him that he could take his eyes off her.
John相當著迷於老闆對他的'贊同而久久不能把視線從她身上移走。
John finished the presentation and waited for an answer. In a split second the boss ran her eye over to the friend at mid-table. He looked back at her and gave her a single, slight shake of the head.
John完成了他的presentation，只等老闆的迴應。老闆側眼看了幾秒鐘坐在桌子中間的那個人，他回望了老闆一眼，只是輕輕搖了搖頭。
