(Coming in) Hello. Oh, it's you. Hello, this is Room 563. Can I help you?
(走進來）你好。哦，是你。你好，這里是563室。有什么事情嗎？
But I was in this room just now. It's Room 365. No, it's Room 563. Look, it says ROOM 563 on the wall.
可我剛才就在這個房間，這是365室。不是，這是563室。看，墻上寫著“563室”。
Can I help you? I'd like a PM624, please. Good, good. Do sit down.
有什么事情嗎？請給我一張PM624表格。好的，好的。請坐。
(Sitting down) But I don't understand! Well, you see, I'm doing the work of two people. I work in Room 365 and Room 563.
(坐下）可是我不明白！好吧，你看到了，我在做兩個人的工作。我在365室和563室辦公，
So I put the two rooms together. It's easier for me. Oh, I see. Well, can I have a PM624, please?
所以我把這兩個房間合并了。這樣我比較方便。哦，我明白了。好吧，能給我一張PM624表格嗎？請稍等。
Excuse me a minute. (Telephoning) Hello, Tom, Pam again. Yes, I'm going to be home soon. OK. See you soon. Goodbye, darling!
（打電話）喂，湯姆，還是我，帕姆。對，我很快就要回家了。好，一會兒見。再見，親愛的！
Can I have my PM624 now, please? Let me see. It's for this monkey, is it?
現在能給我PM624表格嗎？讓我看看。是給這只猴子的，對嗎？
Yes, that's right. Is it a working monkey? It doesn't do any work, no. It lives in my house.
對，沒錯。是只要工作的猴子嗎？不是，它不工作。它住在我家里。
That's OK then, because for a working monkey the PM624 is no good at all.
那就好，因為PM624表格對要工作的猴子無效。
(Angrily) Now look, are you going to give me that PM624 or not?
(生氣地）行了，你到底給不給我PM624表格？
I arrived here half an hour ago. First you told me to get a ticket, no, two tickets.
我半個小時之前就來了。你先是叫我去取一個號，不對，是兩個號。
Everybody needs a ticket. That's the rule.
誰都得有號。這是規定。
(More angrily) Then you asked for eight photos. Then you told me to leave the room and come back again.
(愈發生氣）接著你又要八張照片。然后你又讓我從這個房間出去又回來。
To a different room. Room 563. Now you're asking, is it a working monkey?
是讓你去另一個房間，563室。現在你又問這是不是一只有工作的猴子？
And all the time you phone your friend Tom and talk about dinner and the cinema and...
這同時你一直在給你的朋友湯姆打電話，聊吃飯、看電影，還有......
He begins to cry. I don't make the rules. I only work here, you know.
他哭了起來。規定不是我定的。你知道，我只是在這里工作。
(Feeling better) Yes, I know. I'm sorry. Can I have the PM624 now, please?
(感覺好一些）是的，我知道。對不起，現在能給我PM624表格了嗎？
Wait a minute. What's the time? (Looking at his watch) One minute past five. Why?
稍等，現在幾點了？(看了看表）五點過一分。怎么了？
Oh dear! This office closes at five. Can you come back tomorrow? Aaaaargh! (He runs off, crying.)
哦，天哪！這間辦公室五點關門，你能明天再來嗎？啊——（他哭著跑了出去。）
