Calling a group meeting

A: All right. I want to bring everybody in on this project. When can we start working on this?

B: Well, we could probably get started with a strategy meeting tomorrow morning at 8:00.

A: I tell you what, 8:00 is no good for me, but why don’t you guys get started and I’ll come by at around 8:45 or so.

B: That’s fine with me. How much time are we going to have to work on this?

召集组会

A：这样，我想请大家集中到这个项目来。我们什么时候可以着手这项工作呢？

B：嗯，我们也许可以明天早上8点先开一个战略方针会议。

A：我得告诉你，8点对我不合适。但你们何不先把会开起来？我大约8:45左右过来。

B：我没问题。这项工作我们打算要干多久？

Appointment with a client

A: I definitely want to meet with you, Mr. Parker. I just need to sort out my schedule.

B: Well, I know you’re pretty booked up these days. But, we’ve got to work fast on this.

A: I realize that. We don’t have any time to waste. I can put you down for 9:20. Could you make that, Mr. Parker?

B: Let me see. That’s no problem. I’ll see you then.

约见客户

A：我肯定要见你一面的，派克先生。我只是需要安排我的时间。

B：我知道你这几天时间排满了。可这件事我们必须得抓紧。

A：这点我知道。我们没时间耽搁了。我可以给你定在9:20，你看行吗？派克先生？

B：让我想想……没有问题。到时候见。
