昂秀英语口语对话想聊就聊第9章：1.7 作笔录

M: Are you doing anything right now, Diana?

W: I am typing a report for the moment, Mr. Robbins. Anything I need to do?

M: Will you please cut it for a while and come in here to take a letter?

W: Is it urgent?

M: Yes, this letter can't go into the mail any later than 5:00. It's about a contract.

W: Ok, I am coming.

M: Please take a seat, Diana. Have you got your spare pens and pencils?

W: Yes, I have this time. But If I don't understand a word or a phrase when you are dictating, can I ask you halfway?

M: No, I’d prefer not. I don't want any interruptions every other minuter, but you can ask me at the end of the letter.

W: All right. I understand now. Do you think I should leave a margin on every page wide enough for notes and amendments.

M: Of course, Diana. You'd better pay attention to the spelling when you type it.

W: Certainly I will, Mr. Robbins. By the way, may I use a window envelope?

M: Yes, that's fine. Now when you finish these, I want you to put these cards in alphabetical order, using the last names, and then make a list.

W: You want the cards in alphabetical order using the last names?

M: Right. And the last thing, we are going to clean the files out tomorrow. Now let's begin. 译：

M：黛安娜，你现在手头有什么事吗？

W：我现在正在打一份报告，罗宾斯先生，有什么事要我做吗？

M：请你暂时放一下，进来录写我口授的一封信好吗？

W：是急件吗？

M：是的，这封信必须在五点以前寄出，是有关一项合同的。

W：好吧，我就来。

M：请坐，黛安娜，你带了钢笔和铅笔了吗？

W：是的，这次我带来了，不过要是你口授时有一个词或词组我不明白，我能不能中途问你呢？

M：不，我不希望每隔一会儿就被打断，不过你可以在结束时问我。

W：好吧，我现在知道了，你看我是不是应该在每一页上留些空白，宽度足以做标注和修改呢？

M：当然，黛安娜。你最后打字时还要注意拼写。

W：我会的，罗宾斯先生。顺便问一下，我可以用开窗信封吗？

M：可以，没问题。嗯，你做完这些后，我要你把这些卡依照姓氏按字母的顺序排放好，然后做一份目录。

W：你要这些卡依照姓氏接字母的顺序排列？

M：对了，还有最后一件事，我们明天要清理文件，我们现在开始吧。
