Jack: It's very good of you to see me at such short notice, Kamal.
卡馬爾，你能在我臨時求見情況下見我，真感謝你。
Kamal: Oh, that's all right.Sit down, Jack. Now, any word from Paul?
哦，沒關系，請坐，杰克。現在，保羅有什么話嗎？
Jack: Well, Tara said Paul was going to ring her last night, I'm on my way to the office now. I haven't seen Tara yet.
嗯，塔拉說，保羅昨晚要給她打電話，我現在正要去辦公室。我還沒見過塔拉。
Kamal: Yes. Well. If anyone can get a market for Jayal Motors. it's Paul. But this isn't a social call. is it. Jack?
是的。好。如果有人可以給賈亞爾摩托開發市場。這個人一定是保羅。但這絕不是一次社交拜訪。是嗎。杰克？
Jack: No. Well, it is business actually.
是的，對，這是生意。
Kamal: Oh. well. what can I do for you?
哦。好的。我能為你做什么？
Jack: Well. I heard from young Tim Hasram yesterday. He told me that Barratts had been overordering from the Manufacturers and withdrawn their extended credit from the retailers.
好的。我昨天從年輕的蒂姆·哈斯拉那里聽到，他告訴我巴拉特已經從生產商那里過度訂購。而且停止了他們零售商的延期付款。
Kamal: And I suppose you want to know if young Tim has got his facts right?
我想你一定想知道年輕的蒂姆是否說的是實情？
Jack: Well,yes.
嗯，對。
Kamal: It's good thing Barratts are not one of our clients, I wouldn't be able to discuss any details of their business if they were.
幸虧巴拉特不是我們的客戶之一，否則，我是不能夠討論他們業務的任何細節的。
Jack:Yes. I do undersant that.
是的，我非常理解。
Kamal: However, I can tell you that I don't know the details of how Barratts got into this situation. but I do know that they have a large overdraft which their bank will probably have to limit.
但是，我可以告訴你，我不知道巴拉特是如何到這種狀況的詳情。但我知道他們有巨大的透支，他們的銀行可能要必須限制他們了。
Jack: I see. So now that our competitors are running into a bit of trouble.we can concentrate more on this export business.
我懂了。所以，現在我們的競爭對手正在陷入一些麻煩。我們可以集中精力開展這個出口業務。
Kamal: Ah, yes, but a word of advice, Jack. Don't neglect the home market. There are other competitors and Barratts could quite easily make a quick recovery.
啊，是的，但一句忠告的話，杰克。不要忽視國內市場。因為還有其他競爭對手，而且巴拉特可以很容易地快速恢復。
Jack:No. I won't forget, Kamal. Ah, this is good news, It may encourage Tom to extend Paul's stay in Industria.
是的，我不會忘記的，卡馬爾。啊，這是個好消息，它可能鼓勵湯姆延長保羅在Industria的逗留時間。
Kamal: Well, just keep me in touch with any further developments.
好的，如果有任何最新進展請隨時通知我。
Jack:Yes. of course.No doubt Paul's doing very well out there.
好的。當然。毫無疑問，保羅在那里做得很好
Kamal:No doubt. Well, fine Jack, Call on me again sometime, will you? I'm always very pleased to see you.
毫無疑問。好吧，杰克，保持電話聯系，好嗎？我很愿意和你見面。

Tom: I want to hear not more about it. This Industria trip has already cost us enough money. People are beginning to laugh at me at the local Chamber of Commerce.
我不想再聽這些了。這個Industria之行行已經花費了我們足夠的錢。當地商會的人們都開始笑話我了。

父親，我們不能讓保羅錯過這么好的機會
Jack: Tom. yesterday, Tim Hasram told me ....
湯姆, 昨天，哈姆斯拉姆告訴我.....
Tom: That's another thing, Tim Hasram is far too young for such a important job in the Sales...acting for Paul.... hasn't got the experirence.
這是另一回事，蒂姆·哈斯拉姆太年輕了不適合做銷售這樣重要的工作，在銷售上...代表保羅....他還沒有這方面的經驗
Jack: Tom, will you just listen for a minute. Everything Tim told me yesterday. I confirmed with Kamal this morning. Barratts have run into some trouble, They've overordered from their manufacturers, withdrawn extended credit from the retailers to pay for the orders and their bank will probably limit their overdraft... So you see, while Barratts are floundering, We can...
湯姆，請你你耐心聽一分鐘。昨天蒂姆告訴我的一切。我今天早上和卡馬爾確認了。巴拉特遇到了一些麻煩，他們在他們的制造商哪里過度訂購，要求零售商并取消訂單的延期付款，他們的銀行可能將限制他們的透支...所以你看，當巴拉特正在掙扎的時候，我們可以.....
Tom: I see, Barratts in trouble. That's an interesting development.
我知道了，巴拉特有麻煩了。這是一個有趣的進展。

我們已經有一個對巴拉特不滿意的客戶想我們詢價了。

你看，父親，事情沒有你想象的那么壞，看，摩托車將在Centerville的展會的最后幾天到達。
JACK:And Barratts are in trouble. Tim is picking up some of their clients for Jayal Motors and remember he's found some new clients in Dabu.
巴拉特有麻煩。蒂姆正在為賈亞爾摩托撿起巴拉特的一些客戶，并且，他在達布還找到了一些新客戶。
