原味人文风情：
Okay, I know it's been a couple of hours since the situation occurred between the two of you, but I'd like to see if we can get this resolved. First off, I'd like to hear from each of you about what's going on with the project.
好，我知道你们两个已经吵好几个小时了，但我想看看我们有没有办法解决这问题。首先，我想听你们各自讲讲这个项目怎么了。
Well, Amy, as you know, I have kids at home, and it's almost impossible for me to work in the evenings. This project workload was just too much for me to finish with all my other responsibilities here. I'm going to get it done, just not by Wednesday.
嗯，Amy，妳也知道我家里有小孩，要我在晚上工作几乎是不可能的。这个项目的工作量对我来说实在太大了，加上我其它所有份内要做的事。我会完成它，只是不会在星期三前做好。
Okay. Justin, go ahead. How do you see this?
好的。Justin，说吧。你的看法呢？
You heard. She's not going to be done by Wednesday. That means we miss the bonus, and I really needed that money.
妳也听到了。她不会在星期三前完成。那就代表我们拿不到奖金，而我真的很需要那笔钱。
So it sounds to me like the heart of the conflict is getting the project finished by Wednesday and getting the bonus. Do you both agree?
所以在我听起来，这整起冲突的重点就是在星期三前完成项目还有拿到奖金。你们两个都同意吗？
Yes, I guess.
嗯，我想是吧。
Do you have any ideas about how the two of you might finish this project by Wednesday?
你们对于你们两个怎样才可能在星期三前完成这项项目有任何想法吗？
Well, Justin can help me with what I have left to do.
这个嘛，Justin 可以帮我做我剩下的。
That's not fair! I shouldn't have to do your work! I'm gonna be busy finishing up my end. And, besides, if I had time to do your half, I already would have!
那不公平!我不应该还得做妳的工作!我光完成自己的部份就很忙了。而且，如果我有时间做妳的工作，那我早就做了!
Right, Justin! I know you're still playing hockey after work. I saw you leave with all your gear yesterday. There are things you don't want to give up, too.
最好是，Justin!我知道你下班后还在打曲棍球。我昨天看到你走的时候带着所有装备。你自己也有不想放弃的事情。
Okay, I have a suggestion. Rachel, can you delegate your other office responsibilities and just focus on this project? And Justin, I know how important hockey is to you. But could you maybe skip one practice and work on this with Rachel? And could the both of you maybe put in an extra hour after work tomorrow to finish?
好，我有个提议。Rachel，妳能不能委托别人做妳份内的其它工作，然后妳就专注在这项项目上？然后 Justin，我知道曲棍球对你来说有多重要。但你能不能或许不要去一场练习，然后和 Rachel 一起进行这项目呢？然后你们两位能不能或许在明天下班后多工作一小时来完成它？
Well, I guess I can let Mary handle the Keller account. And I think my mom can watch the kids for an hour. I can do it. I know it's really important to Justin.
嗯，我想我可以让 Mary 处理 Keller 那个客户。然后我想我妈可以帮我看着孩子一个小时。我可以做到。我知道这对 Justin 来说真的很重要。
I guess if Rachel is going to stay tomorrow, I can ditch hockey for a night. It would be really nice to get this done by Wednesday. I'm sorry I got so upset, Rachel. I could just really use that bonus.
我想如果 Rachel 明天要留下来，我可以一个晚上不要去打曲棍球。如果能在星期三前完成就太好了。Rachel，我很抱歉我发那么大的脾气。只是那笔奖金真的对我很有帮助。
Actually, I can use that bonus, too. Don't kid yourself. I just didn't know how we can make it happen. Thanks, Amy.
说实在的，那笔奖金对我来说也很有用。别骗自己了。我只是不晓得我们要怎么做到而已。谢啦，Amy。
All right. It sounds like we have a plan of action. If there's anything I can do to help the two of you in any way, let me know. Thank you both. Let's get back to work.
好。听起来我们有行动计划了。如果有任何我可以协助你们两位的地方，让我知道。谢谢你们两位。我们回去工作吧。
