Gordon: Howdy, how's business?

戈登：你好，你的生意进展得如何？

Molly: As well as can be expected since we are deep in debt.

莫莉：就象可以预见到的，我们欠债了。

Gordon: I am sorry to hear that. But didn't you say you had a surplus of your products?

莫莉：你说到了我的痛处。我们现在很担心这一点。

Gordon: I am sorry to hear that.Let me know if you need a new job.

Gordon: Anytime.
