Requesting boss’ criticism
A: Mr. Farmington? Would you take a look at these catalogue ads that Roger did? I don’t think we can use them.
B: Hmm. I see what you mean. Have you spoken with Roger? He usually does better work than this.
A: I know, Mr. Farmington. But, I’m not sure that I should bring this up with him. I think it would be better if you spoke to him.
B: All right. Leave these ads with me. I’ll speak to him this morning.

征求老板意见
A：法明顿先生？您能看一下罗杰做的这个产品目录的广告吗？我觉得我们没法用。
B：嗯。我明白你是什么意思。你和罗杰谈过了吗？他一向干得比这好。
A：我知道，法明顿先生。但是我没把握是否应该找他去说。我想您和他谈会更好些。
B：好吧。把这广告留给我吧。今天上午我跟他说。
