Requesting boss’ criticism

A: Mr. Farmington? Would you take a look at these catalogue ads that Roger did? I don’t think we can use them.

B: Hmm. I see what you mean. Have you spoken with Roger? He usually does better work than this.

A: I know, Mr. Farmington. But, I’m not sure that I should bring this up with him. I think it would be better if you spoke to him.

B: All right. Leave these ads with me. I’ll speak to him this morning.

征求老板意見

A：法明頓先生？您能看一下羅杰做的這個產品目錄的廣告嗎？我覺得我們沒法用。

B：嗯。我明白你是什么意思。你和羅杰談過了嗎？他一向干得比這好。

A：我知道，法明頓先生。但是我沒把握是否應該找他去說。我想您和他談會更好些。

B：好吧。把這廣告留給我吧。今天上午我跟他說。
