Simon：OK, let's take a good look at this project and see where we are doing well and where we need some improvement. In my opinion, we only have a few problems. Steve, why don't you begin? （賽門：好，我們仔細瞧瞧這項專案，看看我們哪裡做得不錯、哪裡需要改進。 依我看，我們只有幾個問題。史提夫，你何不起個頭？）
Steve：Thanks, Simon. In my view, we are ahead of schedule on many things. But there are a couple of areas where we are experiencing some problems. We need to work harder to make sure that the designs are finished in two months. （史提夫：謝謝，賽門。我認為我們在許多事情上都超前進度，但是在幾個方面遭遇了一些問題 我們需要趕工才能確保設計圖能在兩個月內完成。）
Laura：I don't think that's enough time. There are a lot of designs that still have to be completed. Is it possible to have an extension? （蘿拉：我覺得時間不夠，我們還有許多設計圖得完成。有可能延長期限嗎？）
Simon：I'm very sorry, Laura, but the designs must be done in two months. If they aren't, that will put much of the rest of the project behind schedule. （賽門：很遺憾，蘿拉，但是設計圖必須在兩個月後完成。如果無法完成， 就會讓專案接下來的其他部份的進度大幅落後。）
Steve：We need to really hurry up on the designs. I strongly think we need to assign more people to work on the designs. I suggest letting Darren help with the designs. （史提夫：我們真的需要快快趕工完成設計圖。我深切認為我們需要加派人手來作設計圖。 我建議讓達倫幫忙作設計圖。）
Laura：I'm not sure that's a good idea. Darren is new to the company and hasn't had a lot of experience with these kinds of jobs. （蘿拉：那恐怕不是一個好主意。達倫才剛進公司，對這類工作的經驗還不是很多。）
Simon：I'm sorry. I disagree with you, Laura. Darren is a smart guy and we need the help with the designs. （賽門：抱歉，我不同意妳的看法，蘿拉。達倫是個聰明人，而我們需要人手幫忙作設計圖。）
