M: Mrs.Hampton, we’ve got trouble in the press room this morning.

男：汉普顿夫人，今天早上我们在印刷车间遇到了点儿问题。,

W: Oh dear, what about?

女：哦，亲爱的，怎么了？

M: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a haft late.

男：一位印刷工人迟到了一个半小时。

W: But that’s a straightforward affair. He will simply lose part of his pay. That’s why we have a clock in system.

女：这是一件很简单的事情。他的工钱有一部分会被扣掉。这就是为什么我们有一个打卡系统。

M: But the point is the man was clocked in at 8 o’clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.

男：但是问题是，这个工人在8点时打了卡。我们让约翰负责看着打卡机，他发誓没有看到任何异常。

W: Is John reliable?

女：约翰值得信赖吗？

M: Yes, he is. That’s why we chose him for the job.

男：是的。这就是为什么我们选他来负责这项（考勤）工作。

W: Have you spoken to the man who was late?

女：你和迟到的那个人谈了吗？

M: Not yet. I thought I’d have a word with you first. He’s a difficult man, and I think there’s been some trouble on the shop floor. I’ve got a feeling that the trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green’s been very active around the shop the last few days.

男：还没有。我认为我应该先和你说一声。他是一个很难相处的家伙，而且我觉得车间里存在些问题。我有种感觉，职工会代表在背后与此有关。经理告诉我，杰克·格林过去几天在车间里非常活跃。

W: Well, what do you want me to do?

女：那么你想要我做什么？

M: I was wondering if you’d see Smith–the man who was late–because you are so much better at handling things like this.

男；我想问问你，是否你可以和史密斯–就是迟到的那个工人谈一谈，因为你在处理这种问题上做得更好。

W: Oh, alright. I’ll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the workers. I’ve had the idea for some time that Jack Green’s been busy stirring things up in connection with the latest wage claim. He’s always trying to make trouble. Well, I’ll get the manager to send Smith up here.

女：哦，好的。我会见见他。我必须要说，我同意你认为工人之间不太对劲这一点。我已经注意杰克·格林有一段时间了，他一直在搅动最近要求涨工资的事情。他还常常制造麻烦。嗯，我会让经理把史密斯带过来。
