Juana:Hi Mel, this is Juana calling from Madrid. I got your email and wanted to ask you about your trip. What is your schedule like while you're in Spain? (華娜:嗨,梅爾。我是華娜,從馬德里打過來的。 我收到你的郵件了,想跟你談談你出差的事。 你在西班牙的行程如何安排?)
Mel:I'm arriving in Spain on November 10 and staying until the 16th. I'll be attending a two-day conference on November 11 and 12. Are you available on the morning of the 13th? (梅爾:我十一月十日抵達西班牙,會一直待到十六號。 我十一月十一和十二日要參加一場為期兩天的會議。 你十三日早上有空嗎?)
Juana:I'm afraid the 13th is not a good time for me. I have to meet a customer at that time, and it would be extremely difficult to change that appointment. Is the 14th at 1:30 p.m. all right? I'm free all afternoon on that day. (華娜:十三號我恐怕不方便。那個時間我得跟一位客戶見面,要改約很難。 十四號下午一點半行嗎?我那天整個下午都有空。)
Mel:Actually, I'm tied up with other business at that time. How about November 15 in the morning? (梅爾:事實上我那個時間要忙別的事走不開。 十一月十五號早上如何?)
Juana:Sorry, but that won't work for me, either. I've got another visitor coming on that day and I've organized a company tour at 10:00 a.m. for him. However, after 3:00 p.m. on that day is a convenient time for me. (華娜:真抱歉,那個時間我也不行。那天我有另一位訪客要來, 我已經安排早上十點帶他參觀公司。不過,那天下午三點以後我沒問題。)
Mel:That time is fine with me, too. Let's make it 4:00 p.m. on the 15th. (梅爾:那個時間我也可以。我們就訂在十五號下午四點吧。)
