Mr. Jones: Leo! I wanted to tell you thanks for all your hard work on the budget. We’re having a get-together after work tonight at Carl’s Karaoke Club to celebrate having finished it. We’d love to see you there.
Leo! 你在預(yù)算工作上辛苦了，我向你表示感謝。我們今晚下班后在Carl卡拉ok俱樂(lè)部有個(gè)聚會(huì)，慶祝完成工作。我們希望你能來(lái)。

噢，對(duì)了。你正忙合同的事兒。也許你能晚點(diǎn)兒來(lái)。

太不湊巧了，我抽不出時(shí)間。我得回家。今天是我和太太結(jié)婚兩周年紀(jì)念，我們準(zhǔn)備去吃大餐的。如果我去不了，Susan不會(huì)饒我的。

Mr. Jones: Happy anniversary! Sorry you won’t be there. Maybe some other time?
