M: Mrs.Hampton, we've got trouble in the press room this morning.
男：漢普頓夫人，今天早上我們在印刷車間遇到了點兒問題。
W: Oh dear, what about?
女：哦，親愛的，怎么了？
M: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a haft late.
男：一位印刷工人遲到了一個半小時。
W: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose part of his pay. That's why we have a clock in system.
女：這是一件很簡單的事情。他的工錢有一部分會被扣掉。這就是為什么我們有一個打卡系統。
M: But the point is the man was clocked in at 8 o'clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.
男：但是問題是，這個工人在8點時打了卡。我們讓約翰負責看著打卡機，他發誓沒有看到任何異常。
W: Is John reliable?
女：約翰值得信賴嗎？
M: Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.
男：是的。這就是為什么我們選他來負責這項（考勤）工作。
W: Have you spoken to the man who was late?
女：你和遲到的那個人談了嗎？
M: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been some trouble on the shop floor. I've got a feeling that the trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.
男：還沒有。我認為我應該先和你說一聲。他是一個很難相處的家伙，而且我覺得車間里存在些問題。我有種感覺，職工會代表在背后與此有關。經理告訴我，杰克·格林過去幾天在車間里非常活躍。
W: Well, what do you want me to do?
女：那么你想要我做什么？
M: I was wondering if you'd see Smith--the man who was late--because you are so much better at handling things like this.
男；我想問問你，是否你可以和史密斯--就是遲到的那個工人談一談，因為你在處理這種問題上做得更好。
W: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the workers. I've had the idea for some time that Jack Green's been busy stirring things up in connection with the latest wage claim. He's always trying to make trouble. Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.
女：哦，好的。我會見見他。我必須要說，我同意你認為工人之間不太對勁這一點。我已經注意杰克·格林有一段時間了，他一直在攪動最近要求漲工資的事情。他還常常制造麻煩。嗯，我會讓經理把史密斯帶過來。
