Ⅳ.对话篇

Molly : Pardon me, Gordon, do you have time to finish this report?

莫莉：对不起，戈登，你有时间完成这个报告吗？

Gordon: Put it on the pile, I'll get to it whenever.

戈登：堆在那儿吧，我有时间就干。

Molly : That is not good enough. I won't have any slackers in my office.

莫莉：这样做可不够好。我不希望在我的办公室里有任何偷懒的人。

Gordon: I don't get paid enough to do that. Plus, that's not on my task list.

戈登：我可没挣干这份工作的钱。另外，这也不在我的职责范围之内。

Molly : Well, put it on your task list.

莫莉：好啦，把这份工作列入你的职责范围吧。

Gordon: You're not the boss of me.

戈登：你可不是我的老板。

Molly : As a matter a fact, I am the boss of you. You should have a more positive attitude.

莫莉：事实上我就是你的老板。你应该有一个更积极的工作态度。

Gordon: Fine, it is my pleasure and duty to do the work. Let's keep up the momentum, give me more work ASAP.

戈登：好了，做这件工作是我的荣幸也是我的责任。让我们保持这种干劲儿，尽快把工作给我吧。

Molly : That is better. You were a loafer but now you are on your way to becoming a model employee.

莫莉：这样就好多了。你曾经是一个游手好闲的人，现在你已经开始向一个模范员工的方向努力了。

Gordon: (Molly leaves) Hey Lynn, get this done in one hour, or you are fired.

戈登：（莫莉离开了）嘿，林，一个小时之内完成这项工作，要不然你就会被解雇。

Lynn: Anything for you, sir. It is my pleasure and duty.

林：没问题，先生。这是我的荣幸和责任。

Gordon: I will be asleep in the back, so wake me when you are done.

戈登：我要睡一会儿，等你把活干完了再叫醒我。
