Paul: Just look at this mess, It's hard to know where Tom's in-tray starts and his out-tray ends.
看看這么混亂，很難知道湯姆的抽屜從哪里開始到哪兒結束
Jack: Any sign of the letter?
信有什么標記嗎？
Paul: It doesn't look like it. Look, you rummage around here and I'll see if I can find those accounts
這看起來不像。 看，你在這里附近找找，我看看能否找到那些帳目。
Jack: Any luck?
有什么發現嗎？
Paul: No. not where I usually put them. but then again who knows where they might have gone to while I was in Dabu. Oh let's have the fan on. It's so hot in here.
沒有，不在我通常放置他們的地方。我在達布的時候，誰會知道他們會他們放哪兒了？這兒太熱了，我把風扇打開吧。
Jack: Maybe Tom found them at the last minute.
也許最后湯姆找到它們了。
Paul: Probably, anyway they're only copies. The original is safe at the bank.
也許吧，無論如何，他們只是副本。 原件在銀行是安全的。
Jack: Eh, you don't think young Barratt took them, do you?
嗯，你不認為是小巴拉特拿走了嗎？
Paul: What on earth for? He could buy a copy from the Government Auditors' Office if he was that desperate.
到底為什么？ 如果他是如此瘋狂的話，他可以從政府審計署購買一份
Jack:Well, maybe he thought he could get hold of some juicy bits to impress his father.
好吧，也許他認為他可以攫取一些甜頭從而給他的父親留下印象。
Paul:Barratt, the industrial spy eh? But I can't really see our Diana letting him get away with it.
巴拉特，工業間諜？ 但我真的不能看出我們的戴安娜會讓他帶走賬目。
Jack: You never know- a good looking lad like that with a flashy car- he might have own her over.
你永遠不會知道 - 一個有豪車的瀟灑的小伙子 - 他很可能贏得她了。
Paul: Come on, Jack, Diana risk her first job? anyway look, enough of this. I've got till eight to convince you about exporting.
得了，杰克，戴安娜會拿她的第一份工作冒險？ 反正看，足夠了。 我已經有8個說服你有關出口的理由。
Jack: Of course, but that doesn't mean Barratt didn't take something when she wasn't looking.
當然，但這并不意味著巴拉特在她沒有看到的時沒有拿走什么東西，
Paul; Jack, sit down and listen. This is important. ... We'll have to tackle the problems of exporting step by step, And the fist move, as I see it, is to get an up to date picture of where we stand at the moment.
杰克，坐下來聽。 這個很重要。 ...我們必須一步一步地解決出口問題，而我認為目前第一步就是制定我們最新的前景規劃。
Jack: Why don't we just concentrate on expanding here at home?
為什么我們不只是專注于在國內市場的擴展？
Paul: Right. Of course we should hold on to our position here and we will- that Barratt problem will have to be sorted out for a start- but you must admit the market here is limited.
對。 當然，我們應該堅持我們在國內市場的份額，我們會的 -開始要把巴爾特問題必須整理出來 - 但你必須承認這里的市場是有限的。
Jack:Yes. but it's safe, the government keeps out foreigners with import controls-though I must admit. I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes.
是。 但這樣是安全的，政府采取進口管制來拒絕外國競爭者 - 盡管我必須承認。 我覺得我們可以在與外國的摩托競爭中保持不敗。
Paul: I agree! That's why I'm suggesting exporting, because I feel we can compete with the best of them.
我同意！ 這就是為什么我建議出口，因為我覺得我們可以與他們中的最好的競爭。
Jack: Just let me get this right, What you are really saying is that we'd make more profit by selling bikes in Industria where we have a cost advantage and can charge higher prices.
讓我想想這事兒，你真正想說的是，我們將通過在Industria賣車賺更多的利潤，我們有成本優勢，可以收取更高的價格。
Paul: Exactly.
對
Jack: Ah. but wait a minute, Packaging, shipping, finance, not to mention the need to hire more staff, will push up推高/提高 our costs and we could end up no better off, maybe worse off.
啊。 但等一下，包裝，航運，財會，更不要說雇傭更多的員工，將提高我們的成本，我們可能最終沒有更好，也許是更糟。
Paul:Ok, now there are extra costs involved, but if we do it right they can be build into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.
好的，現在有額外的成本，但如果我們做得正確，他們可以算在車的價格里，我們仍然有競爭優勢。
Jack: How sure are you about our chances of success in the market?
您對我們在市場上取得成功的機會有多少信心？
Paul: Well, that's the sticky one. It's going to need a lot of research. I'm hoping to get the help of the Export Development Office in Dabu... Well come on, Jack, Is it worth it or not?
嗯，這是棘手的問題。 它需要大量的研究。 我希望得到達布出口發展辦公室的幫助...好吧，杰克，是不是很值得吧？
Jack:There'll be a lot of problems.
會有很多問題。
Paul: Nothing we can't handle.
沒有什么我們不能解決的
Jack: Mmm. I'm not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with a feasibility study.
嗯。 我不抱有那么大的希望。 但是，是的，我認為我們應該進行可行性研究
Paul: Marvellous Jack. I was hoping you'd be on my side.
優秀的杰克。 我就知道你會支持我的。
Jack: It's not just for you, I've always wanted to see how my bikes match up to competition in the big wide world-a question of professional pride!
這不只是為了你，我一直想看看我的車是否能適應世界范圍的競爭 - 專業自豪感的問題！
Paul: I'm sure it'll be a success, Look, It's going to be difficult persuading the rest of the board and I'd like to get on with it straight away, What do you say to a board meeting early next week.
我相信它會是一個成功的，不過，說服董事會的其余人員將是困難的，我想立即直接開始，你對下周初的董事會會議要說什么。
Jack: Sounds fine, Is there anything you want me to do?
聽起來不錯，有什么你想讓我做的？
Paul: Well, there is one thing-I'd like you to look at the production and transportation problems.
嗯，有一件事 - 我想讓你看看生產和運輸的問題
Jack: OK, it's a deal, If this idea is to work, you're going to need as much support as you can get...
好吧，就這么定了，如果這個想法是可行的，你會得到我盡可能多的支持.
