Simon:Good morning, everyone. I'm quite disappointed that we've missed the deadline that was set for the approval of the designs. How did this happen? (賽門:各位早。我很失望我們沒趕上設計圖的核准期限。這是怎麼發生的?)
Steve:As team leader, I'm responsible. However, I think that there was just too much work to do in a very short time. (史提夫:身為團隊領導人,我該負責。 但是,我認為在這麼短的時間內要做的事情太多了。)
Simon:Wait a minute, Steve. I don't really think it's your fault. I think it's very important to find out who is to blame for this, so it doesn't happen again. I understand that there was a problem with the documents given to the German government. Steve, who did this? (賽門:等一下,史提夫,我並不認為是你的錯。我認為找出誰該負責很重要, 這種事才不會再發生。我知道給德國政府的文件出了問題。 史提夫,這是誰做的?)
Steve:Well, it was a team effort, but I had asked Darren specifically to make sure the documents were in order. (史提夫:嗯,那是團隊共同的努力,但是我有特別請達倫要確保文件都準備好了。)
Simon:That's what I had heard. Darren, why didn't you ensure all the necessary documents were sent? (賽門:我也是這麼聽說的。達倫,你為什麼沒有確認所有必要的文件都送出去了呢?)
Darren:I was a little unclear on some of the regulations —they are very complicated. (達倫:我對某些法規不太清楚,它們非常複雜。)
Simon:You should have asked someone about them. It was your responsibility to check the regulations. (賽門:你應該問問別人的,確認法規是你的責任。)
Darren:I guess you're right. It's my fault. (達倫:我想你說得對,是我的錯。)
