A snag in the plans
A: Jason. There’s a snag in the plans for the Hoover Center.
B: What’s wrong? I thought everything was set.
A: Well, it was. But the contractor’s just told me
he’s not going to be able to finish by the twentieth, as planned.
B: Maybe we could work out an overtime schedule. It’s definitely worth it to finish by the twentieth.
计划中的问题
A：杰森。胡佛中心方案出了麻烦。

B: I’m in a bit of a hurry, Louise. Can it wait?
