梅和托尼就展会的进行向老板汇报工作，这天可是很糟糕。

(C =Customer, T = Tony, M = May, B = Boss)

C: Excuse me?
C：打扰了。

M: Hello. Can I help you?
M：你好，有什么需要吗？

C: Er, no. Can you tell me where the toilets are, please?
C：哦，不是。你知道洗手间在哪吗？

M: Hmm. Yes, they are over there.
M：哦，在那边。

T: This is terrible, May. I'm going to phone head office to talk about it.
T：太糟糕了，梅。我要打电话回总部汇报一下。

M: OK and ask them to send us some more brochures and order forms.
M：好吧，让他们再送点宣传册和定单来。

T: Hello? Hello? Hello, this is Tony, phoning from England. We're at the conference.
T：喂？喂？你好，我是托尼，我从英国打来的，我们在展会呢。

B: Hello Tony. Is it all going well? Is everything OK?
B：你好，托尼。一切顺利吗？

T: Well, a few problems actually. The exhibition stand is right at the back and it's tiny. And we have very few brochures and order forms.
T：其实是有些问题。我们的展位很小，在最后边。我们的宣传册和定单也很少。

B: Hello, Tony. Can you hear me?
B：喂，托尼，能听到吗？

T: Yes.
T：能。

B: That sounds terrible. We ordered a stand near the entrance! Didn't you talk to the conference manager?
B：听起来很糟糕啊。我们订的展位是靠近入口的，你没和展会经理谈吗？

T: Yes, but...
T：谈了，可是……

B: I want you to deal with it today, please, Tony! We spent a lot of money on that stand and we'll send the brochures immediately.
B：我希望你今天把这事解决。我们订那个展位花了很多钱的，宣传册会立刻送过去的。

T: Well, I'll do my best, but I don't think we can change it.
T：好吧，我尽力，但是我觉得改变不了了。

B: Tony, if you can't do it then I'll phone the conference manager myself. And another thing, can you try to find a good agent there to act for us in Britain? Did you remember? To help with the publicity and so on?
B：托尼，如果你解决不了，我会亲自给展会经理打电话。另外，你能不能在那边找个好的代理？还记得这件事吗？找个代理为我们做宣传之类的活动。

T: OK. I'll do my best. I'll phone you again tomorrow, bye.
T：好的，我会尽力的，明天再给你打电话，再见。

C: Excuse me...
C：打扰了。

T: Yes, can I help you?
T：需要帮忙吗？

C: Can you tell me the way to the toilets, please?
C：知道洗手间怎么走吗？
