Narrator: Hello, 今天可真是有點(diǎn)兒冷啊！

Anna: Hi Denise!

Denise: Good morning Anna.

Anna: Brrr... It's so cold in here.

Denise: The window was left open overnight.

Anna: My papers have been blown everywhere.

Denise: Mine too! Tom was the last one here last night – it must've been him who left the window open.

Anna: Brrr.... Right then, to work! Oh, there's a note from Paul, it must've fallen off my desk: 'I would like your ideas on our stock management system for our new laser-curve fruit range, so we know we can keep up with demand. Please write me a couple of pages of suggestions and leave it on my desk. I'll be back this afternoon.' Wow! I have to come up with ideas for a stock management system! Gosh, where do I begin?!

Tom: Good morning.

Anna: Morning!

Tom: Hey, my certificate for Plastic Pear Salesman of the Year is on the floor!

Anna: Right... stock management systems... stock-up on your laser-curved lemons … My first idea is to calculate the total…. Later…

Narrator: Anna 寫完了她的報(bào)告，放在了Paul 的辦公桌上，可是沒(méi)這么簡(jiǎn)單。Er, Anna 這有點(diǎn)兒?jiǎn)栴}。

Anna: Oh?

Narrator: 我來(lái)教你幾個(gè)短語(yǔ)，你可以向別人解釋出了錯(cuò)兒。

I think there's been a misunderstanding. 意思是我想這里可能有點(diǎn)誤會(huì)。

OR:

There's been a bit of a mix-up. 這出了點(diǎn)兒錯(cuò)。

Anna: But what misunderstanding? What mix-up?

Narrator: 你還可以說(shuō)：

Let me explain what happened, 讓我解釋一下發(fā)生了什么事情。

Anna: But-

Paul: Ah, good afternoon everyone.

All: Hello.

Paul: Tom, this is an excellent piece of work!

Tom: Sorry?

Paul: These are by far the best ideas you've ever had.

Tom: I don't understand.

Paul: Our stock management system!

Tom: Can I see? ... But, that's not mine.

Paul: Eh?

Anna: I think there's been a misunderstanding. I did it.

Paul+Tom: You?

Anna: I got your note Paul, here.

Paul: No, no, that note was for Tom.

Anna: Oh, then there's been a bit of a mix up.

Tom: Did you take that note from my desk?

Anna: No, no!

Tom: I suppose you threw my pear salesman certificate on the floor at the same time too!

Anna: I didn't! Let me explain. The wind must have blown the note for Tom under my desk.

Denise: Tom left the window open overnight. Our papers were blown all over the place.

Paul: I see, well, golly gosh. In that case, well done, Anna! Excellent work, even though you weren't meant to do it. And Tom, your ideas are still welcome of course. Thanks.

Anna: Sorry Tom.

Tom: What? Oh, I'm not bothered. I've still got some great ideas in my head anyway.

Narrator: Yeah, right! 讓Tom 自己去琢磨他的偉大計(jì)劃吧。我們來(lái)看看 Anna 剛才用到了那些短語(yǔ)來(lái)解釋誤會(huì)。

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

There's been a bit of a mix-up.

Let me explain what happened.

看來(lái)，這個(gè)錯(cuò)竟然還讓Anna 有機(jī)會(huì)顯示了一下她的能力，Paul 對(duì)她的能力很佩服。

說(shuō)不定會(huì)有新的機(jī)會(huì)呢．好了，我們下次節(jié)目再續(xù)！

Tom在地上找到了他的一份證書，是什么證書呢？
