A第13征求老板意见
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.
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。
