梅和托尼就展會的進行向老板匯報工作，這天可是很糟糕。
(C =Customer, T = Tony, M = May, B = Boss)
C: Excuse me?
C：打擾了。
M: Hello. Can I help you?
M：你好，有什么需要嗎？
C: Er, no. Can you tell me where the toilets are, please?
C：哦，不是。你知道洗手間在哪嗎？
M: Hmm. Yes, they are over there.
M：哦，在那邊。
T: This is terrible, May. I'm going to phone head office to talk about it.
T：太糟糕了，梅。我要打電話回總部匯報一下。
M: OK and ask them to send us some more brochures and order forms.
M：好吧，讓他們再送點宣傳冊和定單來。
T: Hello? Hello? Hello, this is Tony, phoning from England. We're at the
conference.
T：喂？喂？你好，我是托尼，我從英國打來的，我們在展會呢。
B: Hello Tony. Is it all going well? Is everything OK?
B：你好，托尼。一切順利嗎？
T: Well, a few problems actually. The exhibition stand is right at the back
and it's tiny. And we have very few brochures and order forms.
T：其實是有些問題。我們的展位很小，在最后邊。我們的宣傳冊和定單也很少。
B: Hello, Tony. Can you hear me?
B：喂，托尼，能聽到嗎？
T: Yes.
T：能。
B: That sounds terrible. We ordered a stand near the entrance! Didn't you
talk to the conference manager?
B：聽起來很糟糕啊。我們訂的展位是靠近入口的，你沒和展會經理談嗎？
T: Yes, but...
T：談了，可是……
B: I want you to deal with it today, please, Tony! We spent a lot of money on
that stand and we'll send the brochures immediately.
B：我希望你今天把這事解決。我們訂那個展位花了很多錢的，宣傳冊會立刻送過去的。
T: Well, I'll do my best, but I don't think we can change it.
T：好吧，我盡力，但是我覺得改變不了了。
B: Tony, if you can't do it then I'll phone the conference manager myself.
And another thing, can you try to find a good agent there to act for us in
Britain? Did you remember? To help with the publicity and so on?
B：托尼，如果你解決不了，我會親自給展會經理打電話。另外，你能不能在那邊找個好的代理？還記得這件事嗎？找個代理為我們做宣傳之類的活動。
T: OK. I'll do my best. I'll phone you again tomorrow, bye.
T：好的，我會盡力的，明天再給你打電話，再見。
C: Excuse me...
C：打擾了。
T: Yes, can I help you?
T：需要幫忙嗎？
C: Can you tell me the way to the toilets, please?
C：知道洗手間怎么走嗎？
