地道美语听力练习:仔细核查报告中的数字

Takagi:Before we disseminate this report, I need you to fact-check it.

I don't want a repeat of what happened last year.

Ellie:What happened last year? I wasn't working here then.

Takagi:Last year's report had a lot of small inaccuracies and a few major errors.

We ended up having to issue a second version of the report.

Ellie:Okay, but I thought it had already been signed off on by the department heads.

Takagi:It has, but those are the same department heads who skimmed the report last year and didn't catch all those problems.

I want you to go through it with a fine-tooth comb.

Ellie:What should I check?

Takagi:Everything. I want you to verify the facts and figures and to flag anything that is outright wrong or even a little suspect.

Ellie:Okay, I'll do that, but this will take some time.

Takagi:What are you doing this weekend?

Ellie:Nothing, now.
