B：It doesn't matter．Miss Weng．I know you are always very busy．
A：Is there anything urgent？
B：Well，things are like these．I've just received a telex from my home office，that the goods shipped in March by S．S．Victoria under Order No．1043 have arrived at Alexandria．But，to our great surprise，they are not in proper condition．
A：Yes，really？What's the trouble then？
B：Quite a number of cartons were badly damaged．Many of the Men's Shirts were water-stained and the majority of the others were severely soiled．
A：Where are the goods now？
B：The goods have been unloaded into the carrier's house．As they are in such a damaged condition，we doubt we will be able to take delivery．
A：Do you know the percentage of the damaged portion？
B：Not exactly．The goods are now under inspection．
A：That's good．We should require a survey report，with that we may know the extent of the damage．
B：My people say that they would send you some shirts drawn at random from the shipment so that you can see yourselves the damaged condition and the reason why they are unsaleable．
A：We should make it clear whether the damage was caused in transit or during the unloading process，or by other reasons．
B：I hope it isn't due to the improper packing．As you know．if that being the case．you wi ll be held liable for the loss sustained．
A：No．it's impossible．The goods were carefully packed and shipped here in excellent condition．I inspected them myself．
B：Then the damage must be caused at somewhere along the line where the goods weren't handled properly．
A：If so，the insurance company or the shipping company should be held responsible and as you know，the claim concerning insurance or transportation should be referred to the insurance company or the shipping company．
B：I know．But so far we haven't got the detailed information yet．
A：So，we have to wait for the surveyor's report and at the same time，we have to check the documents carefully．Only after receiving the detailed report，can we work out the way to handle the problem．What do you say？
B：I agree with you．I think it won't be long before we get the information．I'll advise you the result upon the conclusion of the investigation．
A：That's fine．
A：下午好，格林先生。我听说您已在这里等我了相当一段时间了，抱歉让您久等了。一个和欧洲的通话让我来晚了。
B：没关系，翁小姐。我知道您总是很忙。
A：有什么比较紧急的事情吗？
B：事情是这样的。我刚刚收到了办公室的电报，该所发运的货物，我们三月在S.S维多利亚发出的订单编号为1043货物已抵达亚历山大。但是，让我们意外的是，货物出了问题。
A：是吗？出了什么问题？
B：相当数量的纸箱被严重损坏。很多的男士衬衫被水浸染，还有和部分的其他产品被泥土严重弄脏。
A：那些货现在在哪？
B：货物已卸下到承运人的仓库。因为在这样一个损坏的条件下，我们怀疑我们将能够交付。
A：你知道被损坏货物的比重吗？
B：并不确切。货物正在检查中。
A：很好。我们应该做一个检查报告，我们才能知道损坏的范围。
B：我的人说他们会随机给您发送一些衬衫，如此一来，您可以看到自己损坏的条件和无法出售的原因。
A：我们应该要弄清楚，损坏是在过境或在卸货过程中造成的，还是由于其他原因。
B：我希望这不是由于包装不当。如你所知，如果在这种情况下，您将为蒙受的损失被追究法律责任。
A：不，这是不可能的。该批货物包装和发运都很仔细，并在情况良好。是我亲自检查的。
B：因此货物是在沿线某处由于没有妥善处理而造成的损坏。
A：如果是的话，保险业的公司或船公司须负上责任，并如你所知，关于保险索赔或运输，应交由保险公司或船公司。
B：我知道。但到目前为止，我们没有得到详细资料。
A：因此，我们必须等待验船师的报告，同时，我们要仔细检查文件。只有在收到详细的报告，我们可以正确的方式来处理这个问题。你认为呢？
B：我同意你的意见。我认为我们得到信息不会很久。调查结束后我会告诉你结果。
A：很好。

A： Mr. Parker is due back from Beijing this morning， and his secretary has just telephoned to say that she's ill. She thinks she's got flu.
B： I'm sorry to hear that.
A： Mr. Parker will need someone to help him. The other two girls in the Sales Office can't do shorthand， so could you possibly spare a girl from your department？
B： Oh dear！ Well， I suppose I could let him have Mary.
A： What's her shorthand like？
B： Reasonable. She sets her letters out well， although I wouldn't say she was the world's fastest worker.
A： Oh， I expect she'll manage. Thanks for your help.
(In the Mr. Parker's Office)
A： Here's today's post， Mary.
C： Thank you.
A： It was sorted and stamped with today's date， as you know， in the General office. In this “in” ray are all the letters and memos which have come in while Mr. Parker has been away. You'll see that Sally has written a note with each one to show whether she has taken any action or not. By the way， Sally keeps all the stationery in this drawer here， letter heads， envelopes， flimsy and so on. Mr. Parker will probably be in any minute now. if you need help you can come into my office down the corridor. Do you think you'll be able to manage？
C： OK， I think it'll be fun to have a change.
A： Yes， well， you'll be very busy. The work here is rather different from the work in the General Office， you know. I must leave you now.
C： Thank you， Miss Li.
A：早上好，威廉先生。帕克先生的办公室人手有点紧张，你是否能帮个忙？
B：当然，如果我帮得上。怎么回事？
A：帕克先生明天将从北京来，而他的秘书刚刚打电话说她病了。她认为她得了流感。
B：我很抱歉听到这个消息。
A：帕克先生将需要有人帮助他。在销售办事处的其他两个女孩不会速记，你能从你们部抽调一个女秘书过来吗？
B：哦亲爱的！那么，我想我可以让玛丽过去帮忙。
A：她的速记怎么样？
B：非常好。信函打得挺漂亮，我还不能说她算得上是一把好手。
A：哦，我希望她能胜任。感谢您的帮助。
(在帕克先生的办公室)
A：玛丽，这是今天的职位。
B：谢谢。
A：如你所知，这是在办公厅整理并盖有今天的日期。在这是帕克先生离开后所有信件和备忘录。在这里你会看到，沙莉已经做了注释，显示每一件事她是否已做了任何处理。顺便说一句，所有文具在这抽屉在这里，信纸，信封，复写纸等等。帕克先生可能会在任何时候回来。如果您需要帮助，您可以到走廊那边我的办公室找我。你看能忙得过来吗？

A：是的，不错，您将会非常忙碌。你知道工作在这里是相当不同的。我现在必须走了。
B：谢谢你，李小姐。
A：John， are you sure you haven't seen the missing file？ I could have brought it into this office with some other files. Please have a look everywhere. It's marked ”confidential”and it has a limited circulation.
B： Oh， Mary. Do go away. I've got much worse troubles than a lost file.
A：But it's serious. The file's got all the details of the new desk range.
Mr. Parker says if anyone copied our designs， it could put the work on the new desks back at least a year！ And we're supposed to be launching them at the International Office Equipment Exhibition.
B： Mary， please， something much worse has just happened.
A：Why， what's the matter？
B： I've got the Security Office coming up in a minute. It's just a matter of a loss of＄ 300 in cash.
A：Oh， no！ When did that happen， and how？
B： Somebody came in this morning， bought three hundred dollars worth of office furniture and paid in cash.
A：How odd. Don't most people pay by cheque？
B： Yes， usually， well， there was no one in the Accounts Department， so I went to get the key of the safe. When I got back...the money had gone.
A：HoW terrible， John. Is it your responsibility？ Will they expect you to replace the money？
B： Well， I haven't got＄30， let alone ＄300... Oh， here's the Security Officer now. Good morning， Mr. Baker.
C： Good morning. Miss Mary. This is a very unfortunate affair. Now， John， I'll have to ask you some questions about the money that's missing.
B： Oh， Mr. Baker， before you start， I'm afraid I have to report the loss of an important file. It's a very serious matter.
A：约翰，你肯定没有见到那份失踪的卷宗吗？我把它和其他一些文件一起拿来这间办公室了。请帮我到处看看它在不在。这是一份上面标有“机密”并且只限少数人参阅的卷宗。
B：噢，玛丽，别烦我了。有比丢失卷宗更严重的麻烦发生了。
A：但是，这很重要。这份文件是关于新桌子范围所有细节。帕克先生说，如果任何人偷袭了我们的设计，很可能浪费我们至少一年的工作。我们正打算把他们拿去国际办公设备展览会参展。
B：还有比这更糟糕的事情发生了。
A：为什么？什么事？
B：我在一分钟内已经得到了办公室安全问题。这一个问题就损失了300美元的现金。
A：噢，不。这是什么时候发生的？怎么发生的？
B：今天早上有人来买了300美元的办公家具并付了现金。
A：这么奇怪。难道大多数人不是支付支票吗？
B：是的，通常是的，会计部门一个人都没有，所以我去拿了保险柜的钥匙。当我回来的时候，钱就不见了。
A：真糟糕。这是你的责任吗？他们将会要你赔偿损失吗？
B：我连30美元都没有，更别说300美元了…噢，这是保全办公室。早上好，贝克先生。
C：早上好，玛丽小姐。这真是不幸的事情。现在，约翰，我必须问你一些关于丢失的那些钱的问题。
B：噢，贝克先生，在您开始前，恐怕我得去汇报丢失重要文件这件事了。这是非常严重的事情。
