办公室英语会话第207期--Explaining a delay 解释延误的原因

Explaining a delay
A: When are you going to give me the prototype you promised?

B: I apologize for the delay, Mr. Parker. We have been waiting on a piece from one of our factories. We should be able to have it completed by next week.

A: All right. But, I hope it won’t take any logger than that!

B: I don’t expect it too, Mr. Parker. I appreciate your understanding.

解释延误的原因

B：对不起，耽误您了，帕克先生。有一个零部件我们一直在等着工厂送来。下星期会完成的。
A：好吧。但我希望不要比这再晚了！
B：我也不希望如此，帕克先生。谢谢您的理解。
