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?

召集组织会议

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?

Meeting a new boss

A: Good morning, Mr. Montgomery. I’ve been sent over from purchasing to fill in for Clare Williams.

B: Oh, really? Nice to meet you. I thought they were going to leave me here on my own! How long have you been with the company?

A: Oh, about seven years. Time flies, you know!

B: Does it ever! Well, let’s get started. If you could begin typing this letter now, I’ll see what else needs to be done.

约见新老板

A：早上好，蒙格玛利先生。我是从采购部调来接替克莱尔·威谦姆斯的。

B：喔，是吗?幸会。我以为他们要把我一个人扔在这儿呢。你来公司有几年了?

A：哦，得有七年了。光阴似箭啊。

B：永远如此。好啦，我们开始吧。请你先打这封信，我来看看还有什么要做的。
