Ⅳ.對話篇

Beth : Can you tell me the time please, Sally?

貝絲：薩麗，你能告訴我現在幾點了么？

Sally: Sure, it's 8.55AM. Why do you ask?

薩麗：沒問題，現在是上午8：55。為什么問這個？

Beth : I missed the subway this morning and I thought I would be late.

貝絲：今天早上我沒趕上地鐵，所以我想我可能要晚了。

Sally: You're not late. In fact, you are a little early.

薩麗：你沒晚，實際上你還早到了呢！

Beth : You know I ran all the way from the subway station to the office and now I am exhausted.

貝絲：你知道么，我可是一路從地鐵站跑到公司來的，現在都累得不行了。

Sally: Beth, you are always early or on time, so being a little late one day isn't a big deal.

薩麗：貝絲，你每天都按時上班，甚至提前到達辦公室，所以有一天晚一點兒的話真的算不了什么。

Beth : Thanks for noticing that I always try to be on time.

貝絲：真高興你能注意到我總保持上班準時，謝謝你。

Sally: That's OK - I think you are a very good worker and always try your best.

薩麗：沒什么。我一直認為你是一名好員工，而且一直努力工作。

Beth : Good to hear. I hope that I can get a big pay raise this year then?

貝絲：能聽到這些我真高興。希望今年我的薪水能漲一些呢。

Sally: Let me think about that one Beth.

薩麗：讓我考慮考慮，貝絲。
