昂秀英语对话想聊就聊：让学习英语化繁为简。

M: Kate, will you please make ten copies of this report?
M：Kate，麻烦你把这个报告印10份，好吗？

W: I'd like to, but the photocopier is out of order.

W：我很乐意，可是影印机坏了。

M: Then use the xerox machine.
M：那就用复印机。

W: It broke down one year ago.

W：复印机一年前就坏了。

M: Oh, forget it then. Hey, I told you to put the files on the “in” tray, not on my desk.

M：哦，那先不提这个了。嘿，我告诉你把文件放在“接收”格里，而不是我的桌子上。

W: The pile is over ten feet high. I am afraid it will fall all over and bury you underneath it if I put this file on top of it.
W：文件已经堆过10英尺高了，如果我把它放上去恐怕文件堆会倒下来把您埋在下面。

M: Very funny. What's wrong with you today? You are my secretary and you are not supposed to talk to me in that tone of voice. Do you know that?
M：真有意思，你今天怎么了？你是我的秘书，你不该用这样的语调跟我说话，你不知道吗？

W: What do you expect? I've been working for you for three years, and you've never given me a holiday. I don't feel well today, because I have a terrible headache. I am not in the mood for being gentle and polite. If you can't stand it, it's your problem. I am not going to change, because I think it suits you best.
W：你想让我用什么语调和你说话？我已经为你工作三年了，可你从来都没给我放过假，我今天不舒服头疼得厉害。我现在没有温文尔雅的情绪，如果你受不了是你的事。我不会改变过来，因为我觉得这样做对你最合适了。

M: Keep your voice down, Kate. I know you've had a hard day today, but you should at least show some respect for me. If you really don't feel well, go home. There isn't much work today anyway.

M：小声点，Kate。我知道你今天不舒服，可是你至少应该要尊重我一下，如果你真的感觉不舒服就回家，今天也没什么事了。

W: I apologize for forgetting myself, but I do need some time off.

W：我对刚才的失礼道歉，不过我真的需要休息了。
