職場英文口語 第181期:如何領導他人(1)
Welcome back to English at Work.
歡迎回到“職場英語”。Last time we heard Anna pitching her new plastic aubergine idea to Paul, in a lift.
上次我們聽到安娜在電梯裏向保羅推銷她的新型塑料茄子的想法。He was on his way to a biscuit-lovers' convention and didn't have much time.
他正在去餅乾愛好者大會的路上,所以沒有什麼時間。
She gave the perfect elevator pitch but it's down to Paul to give her idea the go ahead – the problem is, he seems to have gone missing.
她做了出色的“電梯推銷”,輪到保羅給她指示了,但問題是他好像失蹤了。Denise, isn't Paul supposed to be here today?
丹尼斯,保羅今天要來嗎?Yes. He went to that biscuit-lovers' convention yesterday but he said he'd be back today.
是的,他昨天去了餅乾愛好者大會,但他説今天回來。Maybe he's eloped with a pack of custard creams, eh? !
也許他和一盒奶油夾心餅乾一起私奔了?!Very funny Tom.
很有趣,湯姆。I'll give him a call now …oh, that might be him.
我給他打個電話,可能是他打來的。Hello, Tip Top Trading… oh hello Paul, everything OK?
你好,Tip Top Trading,你好,保羅,一切都好嗎?no! no!
不!What Denise?
怎麼了,丹尼斯?What's he saying?
他説什麼了?He choked on a biscuit at the convention and he's in hospital.
他在大會上被一塊餅乾掐住了,現在正在醫院。Yes Paul, that was Tom… you want to speak to Anna?
是的,保羅,那是湯姆……你想跟安娜説話?
