地道美语听力播客569:工作失误

Boss:What is going on here?!

老板：这到底是怎么回事?

Jenny:There was a miscommunication.

詹妮:这是一个失误。

Boss:A miscommunication?! There are 16 copiers in this office. Who ordered 16 copiers?

老板：失误?办公室里(突然)出现了16台复印机，谁订购的?

Jenny:No one did. Clearly wires got crossed somewhere. I’ll try to get to the bottom of this, but the copiers will be removed before lunch.

詹妮:没人订购，显然是哪个环节出了点错，我会尽力查清楚的，复印机也会在午餐前被搬出办公室。

Boss:I can’t even walk to my office with all of these machines in here. How am I supposed to get any work done?

老板：这些机器挡在这，我都不能进我的办公室了，我要怎样完成工作啊?

Jenny:I’m looking for the purchase order right now to see if the mistake was on our end or on their end

詹妮:我现在就找找订购单，看看是我们这边的失误，还是他们的错。

Boss:Let me know as soon as you figure it out. I want to know who’s responsible for this.

老板：查清楚后马上向我汇报。我想知道这属于谁管。

Jenny:Right, I’ll let you know. No doubt it was just a clerical error. No harm, no foul.

詹妮:好的，我会向您汇报的。毫无疑问，这只是一个笔误。没有造成什么损失，也就没什么大错，您别放在心上。

Boss:No harm, no foul?! This screw up has cost me half a day’s productivity. I think that’s plenty of harm done.

老板：没什么损失?别放在心上?整成这样浪费了我半天的时间，我认为已经造成很大的损失了。

Jenny:You’re right, sir. I stand corrected. I’m sure it was just an honest mistake.

詹妮:是，先生。我接受指正。我想这只是无心之过。

Boss:Stop making excuses for the person responsible for this debacle. Jenny, why are you making excuses for the person responsible?

老板：不要替那个做错事的人找借口了，你为什么要为那个人辩解呢?

Jenny:You look thirsty. I’ll go get you some coffee right now!

詹妮:您看起来口渴了，我现在去给您倒杯咖啡。
