Arranging a budget discussion
A: Roger? Would it be possible to meet with you to discuss my department’s budget?
B: Of course, Debbie. Let me look at my schedule, — I have some free time on the 12th. That’s this Thursday at 9:00 a.m.
A: All right. That’ll be fine. Can you put together a rough idea of the kind of money I’ll have available for the next year?
B: Certainly. I’ve already worked out a general budget for all the departments.
安排討論預算
A：羅傑，能和你見個面談談我們部門的預算問題嗎？
B：當然啦，黛碧。讓我查查我的時間安排。我12號有空，也就是這星期四，上午9點。
A：行，這不錯。你能大概說說明年我們能有多少錢嗎？
B：可以。我已經為所有部門制定了一個總預算。
Setting up a birthday party
A: Well, Cindy. We were going to try to surprise you for your birthday. But you’re just too busy! Can you tell me when you’ll be free?
B: Oh, Brian. That’s really sweet of you guys. I would love to get together with all of you. How about Friday?
A: Great! What time?
B: I’m free all afternoon. Why don’t we meet at 1 o’clock in the lobby?
安排生日聚會

A：太好了！什麼時間？
B：我一下午都有空。我們1點在大廳見好嗎？
