meeting a deadline最后期限
Dialog
英語情景對話
Pam: You wanted to see me?
女:是您找我嗎
Ed: Yes, I did. Have a seat. I want to talk to you about the Pulsen project.
男:是的,請坐,我想跟你談談寶爾森項目的情況
Pam: I know I’m a little late in getting that report to you, but I’ve been pulling out the stops to get it done.
女:我知道我給報告的時間有些晚了,不過我正在傾盡全力在做這個報告。
Ed: But it’s still not done, is it? You know that the deadline for the next milestone of the project was this past Monday.
男:不過到現在還是沒有完,對嗎?你知道的,項目下一個里程碑式的階段應該是過去的這個周一完成。
Pam: Yes, I know, but the scope of the project turned out to be a lot bigger than I had anticipated. And, they just didn’t allocate enough resources for something this size. Is there any way we can push back the deadline by a week?
女:是的,我承認,不過項目的工作內容要比我原來想象的多。而且象這樣大的項目所需要的資源都沒有分配足。我們是否有可能將最后期限再向后推一周
Ed: The time to ask that was last week, not after you’ve missed the deadline. I have the management breathing down my neck about this report. I’ve tried to stall them for the past two days and they’re not happy.
男:這種要求應該在上周提,而不是在你已經超過最后期限時說。我上面的老板為這個報告追我很多次了。過去的兩次我都是在勸說他們,他們顯然不太高興。
Pam: I promise to have it on your desk by tomorrow morning. You have my word.
女:我保證明天一早就將報告送給你,我向你保證
Ed: All right. I’ll give you until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. I’m tired of taking the heat, though, and I don’t plan to do it any longer.
男:好,我最晚會等到明天上午九點。我已經對為此受上面指責厭煩了,所以我不希望再這樣了。
Pam: You can count on me.
女:包在我身上吧
Ed: Don’t let me down.
男:別讓我失望
Pam: I won’t.
女:不會的。
