白领的一天 场景100:如何解释误会 Language used to explain a misunderstanding
Narrator: Hello, 今天可真是有点儿冷啊!
Anna: Hi Denise!
Denise: Good morning Anna.
Anna: Brrr... It's so cold in here.
Denise: The window was left open overnight.
Anna: My papers have been blown everywhere.
Denise: Mine too! Tom was the last one here last night – it must've been him who left the window open.
Anna: Brrr.... Right then, to work! Oh, there's a note from Paul, it must've fallen off my desk: 'I would like your ideas on our stock management system for our new laser-curve fruit range, so we know we can keep up with demand. Please write me a couple of pages of suggestions and leave it on my desk. I'll be back this afternoon.' Wow! I have to come up with ideas for a stock management system! Gosh, where do I begin?!
Tom: Good morning.
Anna: Morning!
Tom: Hey, my certificate for Plastic Pear Salesman of the Year is on the floor!
Anna: Right... stock management systems... stock-up on your laser-curved lemons … My first idea is to calcuLate the total…. Later…
Narrator: Anna 写完了她的报告,放在了Paul 的办公桌上,可是没这么简单。Er, Anna 这有点儿问题。
Anna: Oh?
Narrator: 我来教你几个短语,你可以向别人解释出了错儿。
I think there's been a misunderstanding. 意思是我想这里可能有点误会。
OR:
There's been a bit of a mix-up. 这出了点儿错。
Anna: But what misunderstanding? What mix-up?
Narrator: 你还可以说:
Let me explain what happened, 让我解释一下发生了什么事情。
Anna: But-
Paul: Ah, good afternoon everyone.
All: Hello.
Paul: Tom, this is an excellent piece of work!
Tom: Sorry?
Paul: These are by far the best ideas you've ever had.
Tom: I don't understand.
Paul: Our stock management system!
Tom: Can I see? ... But, that's not mine.
Paul: Eh?
Anna: I think there's been a misunderstanding. I did it.
Paul+Tom: You?
Anna: I got your note Paul, here.
Paul: No, no, that note was for Tom.
Anna: Oh, then there's been a bit of a mix up.
Tom: Did you take that note from my desk?
Anna: No, no!
Tom: I suppose you threw my pear salesman certificate on the floor at the same time too!
Anna: I didn't! Let me explain. The wind must have blown the note for Tom under my desk.
Denise: Tom left the window open overnight. Our papers were blown all over the place.
Paul: I see, well, golly gosh. In that case, well done, Anna! Excellent work, even though you weren't meant to do it. And Tom, your ideas are still welcome of course. Thanks.
Anna: Sorry Tom.
Tom: What? Oh, I'm not bothered. I've still got some great ideas in my head anyway.
Narrator: Yeah, right! 让Tom 自己去琢磨他的伟大计划吧。我们来看看 Anna 刚才用到了那些短语来解释误会。
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
There's been a bit of a mix-up.
Let me explain what happened.
看来,这个错竟然还让Anna 有机会显示了一下她的能力,Paul 对她的能力很佩服。
说不定会有新的机会呢.好了,我们下次节目再续!
听力挑战:
Tom在地上找到了他的一份证书,是什么证书呢?
上期答案:
问题:Anna 在邮件里想确认些什么?
答案:她的公司可以提供300个豪华包装盒。
