Simon:Yes, it was a big mistake, and I hope it doesn't affect the rest of the project too much. Do you know how you made the error? (賽門:是的,那的確是個大錯誤。我希望它不會給專案的其他部份帶來太大的影響。 你知道自己是怎樣犯下這個錯的嗎?)

Darren:You're right. Even though it wasn't intentional, I still made a mistake. I'm disappointed in myself. My inexperience was the cause. (達倫:你說得對。縱然我不是故意的,但是還是犯了錯。我對自己很失望。 我缺乏經驗是原因。)
Simon:Well, don't worry about it too much. Just try to improve your performance in the future. I appreciate you coming to my office to talk about it. (賽門:嗯,不要想太多,只要以後試著改善你的表現就好了。 謝謝你到我辦公室來談這件事情。)
