Awaiting a signature

A: Excuse me, Mr. White? I just need you to sign these before I leave.

B: Sure, Sherry. Sorry to have kept you waiting. If you hadn’t told me, I probably would have just forgotten all about them.

A: That’s my job, sir. Just one more signature here, please.

B: There you are.

等待签字

A：对不起，怀特先生？我走之前需要您在这些上签个字。

B：当然，莎莉。对不起让你久等了。如果你没有提醒我的话，我可能会忘得一干二净。

A：这是我的职责，先生。这里再签一个就可以了。

B：给你。

Arranging overtime

A: I hate to do this to you, Alice, but I’m going to have to ask you to put in some more overtime.

B: Does it have to be this afternoon, Mr. Fairbanks? I’ve already made plans.

A: Well, I would have preferred to do it today, but if you’ve already made plans, we can do it tomorrow.

B: I’d appreciate that, sir. How long do you think you’ll need me to stay?

安排加班

A：我不愿对你如此，爱丽丝，可我不得不请你再加些班。

B：非得在今天下午吗，费尔班克斯先生？我已经有安排了。

A：嗯，我希望能在今天做，可是如果你已经做了安排，我们可以明天做。

B：如能这样我很感激，先生。您考虑让我待多久？
