职场英语：办公室英语会话(51)

Last minute details

A: Ms. Solomon, I thought we had agreed to change this deadline.

B: I wanted to talk to you about that, Mr. Feng. Mr. Emory would prefer to keep the deadline as is. We can start earlier if you’d like.

A: I’ll have to think about that, Ms. Solomon.

B: Certainly, sir. We can wait another day or two.

临时细节修改

A：所罗门女士，我想我们同意过要修改最后期限的。

B：我正要找你谈这个问题呢，冯先生。埃莫里先生希望最后期限能保持不变。如果你愿意，我们可以提前开始。

A：那我得考虑考虑，所罗门女士。

B：当然可以，先生。我们可以再等一两天。

Warning an employee

A: Listen, Christine, you can not afford another day off. You’ve called in sick five times in the last three weeks.

B: I know, Mr. Douglas. But I am really sick.

A: Well, I want a note from the doctor on this one. And, to be honest, if this continues, we may not be able to employ you here.

B: I understand, sir. I’ll bring a doctor’s note in tomorrow. I am sorry, Mr. Douglas.

警告雇员

A：听着，克莉丝汀，你再也不能请假了。这三个星期里你请过五次病假了。

B：我知道，道格拉斯先生。可我是真的病了。

A：那，这一次我得要医生的证明。而且老实说，如果再这样继续下去的话，我们也许不能再雇用你了。

B：我明白，先生。明早我会带医生证明来。对不起，道格拉斯先生。
