Requesting boss』 criticism
A: Mr. Farmington? Would you take a look at these catalogue ads that Roger did? I don』t think we can use them.
B: Hmm. I see what you mean. Have you spoken with Roger? He usually does better work than this.
A: I know, Mr. Farmington. But, I』m not sure that I should bring this up with him. I think it would be better if you spoke to him.
B: All right. Leave these ads with me. I』ll speak to him this morning.
徵求老闆意見
A：法明頓先生？您能看一下羅傑做的這個產品目錄的廣告嗎？我覺得我們沒法用。
B：嗯。我明白你是什麼意思。你和羅傑談過了嗎？他一向幹得比這好。
A：我知道，法明頓先生。但是我沒把握是否應該找他去說。我想您和他談會更好些。
B：好吧。把這廣告留給我吧。今天上午我跟他說。
Taking too long of a break
A: Greg. I want to speak to you for a minute.
B: Yes. Ms. Gray. Is there something wrong?
A: I』m afraid there is, Greg. I don』t mind you taking a break. But you』ve been away from your desk for twenty-five minutes already.
B: I』m sorry, Ms. Gray. I must have lost track of the time. I』ll get back to work, now.
休息時間過長
A：克雷格，我要和你說兩句話。
B：什麼事？格雷女士，出問題了嗎？
A：恐怕是的，克格雷。我不反對你休息一會，可你離開你的辦公桌已經有25分鐘了。
B：抱歉，格雷女士。我一定是忘記鐘點了。我馬上就回去幹活。
