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.
征求老板意见
A：法明顿先生？您能看一下罗杰做的这个产品目录的广告吗？我觉得我们没法用。
B：嗯。我明白你是什么意思。你和罗杰谈过了吗？他一向干得比这好。
A：我知道，法明顿先生。但是我没把握是否应该找他去说。我想您和他谈会更好些。
B：好吧。把这广告留给我吧。今天上午我跟他说。
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.
休息时间过长
A：克雷格，我要和你说两句话。
B：什么事？格雷女士，出问题了吗？
A：恐怕是的，克格雷。我不反对你休息一会，可你离开你的办公桌已经有25分钟了。
B：抱歉，格雷女士。我一定是忘记钟点了。我马上就回去干活。
