Calling a group meeting

A: All right. I want to bring everybody in on this project. When can we start working on this?

B: Well, we could probably get started with a strategy meeting tomorrow morning at 8:00.

A: I tell you what, 8:00 is no good for me, but why don’t you guys get started and I’ll come by at around 8:45 or so.

B: That’s fine with me. How much time are we going to have to work on this?

召集組會

A：這樣，我想請大家集中到這個項目來。我們什麼時候可以著手這項工作呢？

B：嗯，我們也許可以明天早上8點先開一個戰略方針會議。

A：我得告訴你，8點對我不合適。但你們何不先把會開起來？我大約8:45左右過來。

B：我沒問題。這項工作我們打算要幹多久？

Appointment with a client

A: I definitely want to meet with you, Mr. Parker. I just need to sort out my schedule.

B: Well, I know you’re pretty booked up these days. But, we’ve got to work fast on this.

A: I realize that. We don’t have any time to waste. I can put you down for 9:20. Could you make that, Mr. Parker?

B: Let me see. That’s no problem. I’ll see you then.

約見客戶

A：我肯定要見你一面的，派克先生。我只是需要安排我的時間。

B：我知道你這幾天時間排滿了。可這件事我們必須得抓緊。

A：這點我知道。我們沒時間耽擱了。我可以給你定在9:20，你看行嗎？派克先生？

B：讓我想想……沒有問題。到時候見。
