Tom: Hi, Lily, we need to talk. Please follow me.
湯姆:嗨,莉莉,我們需要談一談。請隨我來。
Lily: Yes, of course. What would you like to discuss?
莉莉:嗯,當然可以。您想談什么呢?
Tom: Today you were late again. We warned you last time that you would be dismissed if it happened again. Other companies would have let you go a long time ago, but I wanted to give you a chance to change your habits because you are a very dedicated worker when you are here.
湯姆:今天你又遲到了。上次遲到我們警告過你,如果再有一次你就會被解雇。換做其他公司,早就讓你走人了。但因為你在這里是一名很努力的員工,所以我想給你一次機會,來讓你改變自己的習慣。
Lily: I understand. I appreciate you giving me the chances and I apologize for letting you down. I won't make any excuses for my lateness. I know it is something I need to change and I will keep trying to do better in future, wherever I work next.
莉莉:我明白。我很感激您給我的機會,很抱歉我讓您失望了。我不會為我的遲到找任何的借口。我知道這是我需要改變的一件事,不管今后我在哪里工作,我會努力做得更好。
Tom: That sounds like a good plan. Sorry this didn't turn out differently.
湯姆:這聽起來是個好主意。很抱歉結(jié)果竟然是這樣。
