我们应该实事求是地先把费用算出来, 然後再做决定. We must be practical and work out the cost before we make a decision.
我是实事求是的人－－知道不可能在一夜之间改变人们的看法。 I'm a realist I know you can't change people's attitudes overnight.
显然，美国运通在罗宾逊离开以后将成为较小的公司。可能出售它的希尔森·里曼兄弟公司，放弃成为“财务超级市场”的梦想。公司的作风也可能改变－从一个贵族和官僚作风的帝国变成一个较为实事求是的公司。 Clearly, AmEx will be a smaller company in the post-Robinson era. It is likely to sell its Shearson Lehman Brothers division, giving up dreams of becoming a"financial supermarket." Company culture, too, may change, from an aristocratic and bureaucratic empire to a company that is more down to earth.
