Getting a new computer
A: Mr. Emory? I think it’s time to get a new computer.
B: Why, Christine? I think the one we have is fine.
A: For the amount of work we do on the computer these days, the one we’re using is just too weak. We really need a higher model.
B: Well, I’ll think about it. I don’t know whether accounting is going to agree to such a big purchase.
买新电脑
A:埃莫里先生,我觉得该买台新电脑了。
B:怎么了?克莉丝汀。我想现在这台还可以嘛。
A:对于我们现在所做的工作,我们用的这台电脑太慢了。我们的确需要一台高档一些的了。
B:好吧,我考虑一下。我不知道财务部门是否会同意这么大一笔开销。
Clarifying final details
A: This is what my boss is expecting, Sandy. He wants a detailed list of expenses and equipment costs.
B: That’s going to take a while to put together, Paul.
A: The sooner, the better, Sandy. I don’t think he’ll sign anything till he’s got that in his hands.
B: I’ll get to work on it right away. Anything else?
确定最后细节
A:这是我老板想的,仙蒂。他想要一份详细的费用及设备成本清单。
B:把这些都做出来得费些时间,保罗。
A:越快越好,仙蒂。我想不拿到这个他是不会在任何东西上签字的。
B:我现在就去做。还有别的什么吗?
