BBC English at Work Episode 4: The crisis, Making suggestions
BBC白领工作英语第4集：遇到紧急情况给别人提建议
Narrator: 欢迎回到 Tip Top 贸易公司。Anna 的工作面试被突然打断了。办公助理 Denise 慌慌张张的进来，不知道发生了什么事情。Anna 能不能提点建议，帮忙解决难题呢？
Denise: I don't know what to do!
Paul: So what's the matter Denise?
Denise: You know the PowerPoint presentation?
Paul: The one we've been preparing for the last two months?
Denise: Yes.
Paul: The one that's very, very important and that we need this afternoon?
Denise: That one.
Paul: Aha.
Denise: We've lost everything!
Paul: No!
Denise: I had it on a USB stick, to transfer it, but the stick has vanished!
Narrator: Anna, 自我表现的机会来了。我教你几个词，你肯定能用到：
我能提个建议吗？Can I make a suggestion?
为什么不…? Why don't you?
你有没有试试…? Have you tried?
我们可以试试…? Maybe we could…?
那么这样可以吗？How about…?
我有个想法！I have an idea!
Paul: But don't you have it saved on your computer?
Denise: No, it was taking up a lot of space, so I deleted it.
Paul: So you have lost the only copy we have.
Denise: Yes.
Narrator: 太笨了吧！怎么这么没条理。Anna, 你得帮帮他们了。
Anna: Can I make a suggestion?
Paul: Yes, please do!
Anna: Why don't you try looking in your recycle bin? – it might still be there.
Denise: I did. It isn't.
Anna: Have you tried asking your colleagues if they've seen the memory stick?
Denise: I did. They haven't.
Anna: How about looking through your rubbish bin to see if you threw it away by mistake?
Denise: (getting shirty) I don't do silly things like that!
Paul: All very sensible suggestions Anna, thank you.
Anna: Maybe I could do a big office search for you? I'm good at finding things.
Denise: There are confidential documents in this office – non-staff are not allowed to see them.
Paul: Now, now Denise. Why don't you drink up that nice tea?
Anna: I have an idea! Did you ever email the presentation to anyone?
Paul: Golly gosh, you did Denise! You emailed it to me to proofread. It'll be in my inbox somewhere. Good thinking Anna!
Denise: I was just about to suggest that myself actually.
Paul: Problem solved. Thank you Anna!
Anna: Pleasure.
Narrator: 好样的！Anna!
Paul: Right, now please leave us Denise. Anna and I will continue our interview. Would you like a biscuit Anna?
Anna: Thank you. Oh, what's that?
Paul: Oh golly gosh, the USB stick! It was mixed in with the plate of biscuits that Denise brought in. English at Work 白领英语 © British Broadcasting Corporation 2012 Page 3 of 3 bbcukchina.com/learningenglish
Anna: It's wet!
Paul: Yes, I think maybe I stirred my tea with it at one point. Oh well. Now, where were we...? My goodness, it's 11 o'clock! I have a meeting right now! I'm afraid I'm going to have to go. But I've made up my mind about you anyway. I suppose you'd like to know if you've got the job?
Anna: Yes please!
Narrator: 停下！大家肯定都迫不及待的想知道 Anna 的面试结果，不过先别着急，我们先把今 天她用到的短语再听一遍：
Can I make a suggestion?
Why don't you try looking in your recycle bin?
Have you tried asking your colleagues if they've seen the memory stick?
How about...?
Maybe I could do a big office search for you?
How about looking through your rubbish bin?
I have an idea!
Paul: Anna, we need someone who can think on her feet and who is a first-rate people person. Someone who sees solutions, not problems... someone like you! So if you want the job, it's yours!
Narrator: Ah, Anna 你可得想清楚了，真的要到这里来工作吗？他们看起来很混乱。
Anna: I would definitely like the job! Thank you!
Narrator: 那好，这可是你的决定哦！好了，下周我们再看 Anna 做为销售专员在 Tip Top 贸易 公司上班的第一天会是怎样的？
· 听力挑战答案： 为什么记忆棒是湿的？ Because it had been in Paul's tea. 因为它掉到 Paul 的茶杯里了。
