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：怎么了？我想所有问题都解决了呀。
A：是解决了。可是那承包商刚刚告诉我他不能按原计划在20号前完工。

Discussing overtime problems
A: Excuse me, Mr. Graham? I have something I need to discuss with you.
B: I’m in a bit of a hurry, Louise. Can it wait?
A: I would really appreciate it if we could talk for a few minutes now. It’s about the overtime you’ve asked me to put in.
B: All right. Why don’t you have a seat? What’s the problem?
