Passage Two
段落二

A super attendant of the city municipal building, Dillia Adorno, was responsible for presenting its new security plan to the public.
市政大楼的随员迪利亚·阿多诺向公众提出新的安全计划。
City employees, citizens and reporters gathered in the hall to hear her describe the plan. After outlining the main points she would cover, she assured the audience that she would be happy to answer questions at the end of her presentation.
城市的员工、公民、记者聚集到大堂听她对计划的描述。在她说完主要的几点后,她保证发布会过后会很乐意回答听众的疑问。
Dillia realized the plan was expensive and potentially controversial. So she was not surprised to see a number of hands go up as soon as she finished speaking.
迪利亚意识到这个计划既费钱又具有潜在的争议性。所以当她在演讲后看到许多双提问的双手时,她并不感到惊讶。
An employ asked, "Would the new system create long lines to get into the building like the line in the airport security checks?"
一个员工问:"新系统会像机场安检一样要排很长的队才能进到大厦里吗?"
Dillia had anticipated this question and had an answer ready. After repeating the question, she explained that the sufficient number of security guards would be working at peak hours to speed things along.
迪利亚早猜到会有这种问题,所以她早备好了答案。在重复了一遍问题后,她解释将会有足够多的保安在高峰期执勤,加快办事效率。
The next question was more confrontational. "Where was the money come from to pay for all of this?" The journalists who ask the question seem hostile. But Dillia was careful not to adopt the defensive tone.
下一个问题更有抵抗性。"这些钱从哪里来?"记者提出的问题似乎怀有敌意。但是迪利亚尽量不采取防御态度。
She stated that the money would come from the city's general budget. "I know these are tide times", she added, "But everyone agrees on the importance of safe guarding our employees and members of the public who come into the building."
她称钱来自城市的总预算。"我知道这是趋势,"她补充说,"但是每个人都认同安全保卫我们的员工和进入大厦的大众是一件重要的事。"
Near the end of the 25 minutes she has said, Dillia said she would take two more questions. When those were finished, she concluded the session with a brief restatement of how the new system will improve security and peace of mind in the municipal building.
发布会的最后25分钟,迪利亚说她将再回答两个问题。结束后,她简要的重申了一遍新系统是如何提高市政大厦的安全与平静的。
