Buying office equipment

A: We’re going to need a lot of new stuff after the holidays. Let’s make a list.

B: Fine, Mr. Richardson. What do you have in mind?

A: Well, to begin with, we’re going to have to get a new desk for you and I’d like to replace that old typewriter.

B: Yes! I agree! We could really use another one! I’ll get on that right away! What else would you like to order?

購置新設備

A：假期過後我們將需要許多新東西。咱們列張單子。

B：好的，理查森先生。您是怎麼考慮的？

A：嗯，首先我們先得給我買張新桌子，另外我想替換掉那台舊打字機。

B：好！我贊成！我們是該再要一台了！我這就去辦！您還想訂些什麼？

Passing along a request

A: Mr. Blake? Mr. Foster’s on the phone. He’d like to know if you can send over those training manuals?

B: Oh, tell him I’ll leave them at his office tomorrow afternoon.

A: He was hoping that you could drop them off this afternoon.

B: I’m afraid that I can’t do that. They’re at the printer’s being copied. They’ll be back tomorrow before 1 o’clock.

轉述一項要求

A：佈雷克先生？福斯特先生打來電話，他想知道您能否將那些培訓材料發過去？

B：噢，告訴他我明天下午把它們送到他的辦公室。

A：他希望您今天下午把它們送過去。

B：這恐怕不行。這些材料正在複印店裏複印，明天一點前才能拿回來。
