对话文本


C: Tristan, could you stay a few extra minutes to discuss your project with me?

T: sure. We're on a pretty tight schedule, but we should be able to finish it just on time.

C: are all of your team members on schedule?

T: a few of the graphic designers are a bit behind in their work because of computer problems.

C: how have they decided to deal with that?

T: they've agreed to work over-time until it's finished. They've even decided to come in on the weekend.

C: that's true dedication. I'm impressed. When is it due?

T: we agreed that the deadline was nest Friday.

C: right. Well, given that your colleagues are working so hard on this project, I suppose we could change that deadline to Monday morning, I won't have time to look over it on the weekend anyway.

T: that'd be very helpful. An extra weekend is all they really need. Thanks.

C: that's right. Make sure everyone knows that we must stick to the new deadline.

T: I will.

C: I know you have a tight schedule, so I won't take up more of your time. Have a good evening.

T: you, too! See you tomorrow.
