Dialogue 1
Mark: This is the room we reserved for your meeting.
馬克：這間就是我們給會議預留的房間。
Jingjing: Thanks for taking care of everything。
京晶：感謝把一切都安排妥當了。
Mark. Let's have a look-see.
馬克：讓我們進去仔細再查看一下。
Mark: Oh, I didn't bring the key with me. I'll be back in five. Hang tough.
馬克：噢，我沒有帶鑰匙。我5分鐘后就回來。稍等我一下。
Jingjing: Uh, ok. I'll be right here, then.
京晶：噢，好的。那我就在這里等
Mark: Okay, so, let me try this key. Whew! There we go.
馬克：好的，讓我試試這把鑰匙。（發出松了一口氣的聲音）開了
Jingjing: How about we open some windows, it's awfully stuffy in here.
京晶：我們開點窗戶怎么樣，屋里簡直太悶了。
Mark: Only this one at the end of the room can be moved. Could you hold my coffee for me. I'll try to pry it open.
馬克：只有屋子盡頭這一扇能被推動。能幫我拿下咖啡嗎，我試下把它撬開。
Jingjing: Why don't you put your coffee down on the table. Oh, and where is the projector? Isn't there always one in the room?
京晶：為什么你不吧咖啡放在桌上呢。噢，投影儀在哪兒？這屋里不是一直有一臺嗎？
Mark: Nah, that's probably locked up in another room. You could give Rick a holler about it.
馬克：沒有啊，可能被鎖在另一個房間里了。你可以聯系下瑞克。
Jingjing: I don't have time to hunt him down. Do you know his extension?
京晶：我可沒功夫去找他。你知道他的分機號嗎？
Mark: Not off the top of my head. Check the directory.
馬克：我腦子里想不起來。查一查電話簿吧。
Jingjing: You're not much help, are you?
京晶：你這人有什么用，嗯？
Mark: Well, I only found out about this meeting before lunch today.
馬克：那什么，我午飯前才知道有這個會的。
Jingjing: And that didn't stop you from taking a full lunch break, right?
京晶：那也不妨礙你盡情地吃了個午餐啊！
Mark: Nope. I figured people were doing their job, keeping meeting rooms in good shape, and, if not, I could come back after lunch and make it my job—like I'm doing right now.
馬克：沒。我猜想有人已經在做他們該做的事，讓會議室一切都狀態完好，如果不是這樣的話，我午飯后回來再親自弄——就像我現在做的這樣。
Jingjing: Yeah, thanks for all your help.
京晶：是哈，真的要謝謝你所有的幫助了。
Mark: Are you being sarcastic?
馬克：你是在諷刺嗎？
Jingjing: Do you have to ask?
京晶：非要問？

Dialogue 2
Jingjing: Look, I really need you to get your head out of your backside and change your attitude.
京晶：你看，我真的需要你別再這么假裝置身事外了，改變下你的態度吧。
Mark: Hey, it's all good. I'll run and grab a projector, and you can set up things the way you like in here.
馬克：嘿，不挺好的嗎。我這就去拿投影儀，你可以在這里按你想要的方式來安排事情。

Jingjing: Now it's 14—make that 13.
京晶：現在，14，馬上13。
Mark: Okay, okay, Jingjing. I'll see to it. You just sit tight and I'll get this room up to spot.
馬克：好的，好的，京晶，我這就弄。你就放心坐等吧，我會把房間收拾好的。
Jingjing: Great. We're done arguing about it, right?
京晶：很好。那我們的爭執到此為止？
