W: Come in, come in. Have a seat. Ah-Ah-I want you to know this is going to hurt me more than it will hurt you.
M: Yes, ma’am. But I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about.
W: You’re fired. That’s what I’m talking about.
M: (13) I find that surprising, Miss Jackson. After all, I sold twenty-five percent more of our products than any other salesman.(男士对自己被解雇感到很吃惊,因为他销售他们公司的产品比其他推销员要多25%。)
W: Look, I’m not here to argue. You’re fired. Understand?
M: I understand perfectly. (14) I just wonder what’s going to happen to the contract I’ve been arranging. It would be a shame to lose it; it could mean a lot to our company. And I’m the only one who knows the details.(男士想知道他正在谈的那些合同怎么办,他是唯一知道细节的人,而且这些合同对公司意义很大。所以他认为他不应该被开除。)
W: No one is indispensable. Just clear out your desk, and that’s the end of it. (15) Do I make myself clear, Mr. Westlake?
M: Crystal clear — apart from one small detail.
W: And what, pray tell, is that detail?
M: (15) I’m not Mr. Westlake. I’m Carl Smith.(女士要开除的人是Mr. Westlake,但是她正在对话的人是Carl Smith,可见她差点解雇错人。)
W: Oh...well then, that’s a different kettle of fish, Mr. Smith. I know you’ve been working late almost every night and coming in on Sundays to get your work done. The company is very happy with your progress.
M: That’s good to know. I was beginning to think that I wasn’t appreciated.
W: You are doing well. We have approved your first salary increase.
M: That’s great! Thank you! I’ll certainly try to live up to the trust you have demonstrated in me with this raise in pay.
