1-- Excuse me, Don? I hate to bother you, but I need your help on something. Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today?
2-- Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow. I know there are some things I need to share with you about that. But, gosh, I don't know.... Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break....
1-- I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are....
2-- It's okay.... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch....
1-- How about this.... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery. It'll be my treat.
2-- You don't have to do that....
1-- I insist. I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in. What is your favorite fast food? I'll cater to your taste.
2-- Actually I do like Chinese.... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about 12:30. Does that sound good?
1-- Great. I'll bring the food.

1--對(duì)不起,堂,我不想打擾你,可是有些事我還需要你幫忙。你今天有時(shí)間給我簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下馬丁報(bào)告的情況嗎?
2--噢,沒問題。明天你就要介紹那個(gè)報(bào)告的情況了。我知道這件事我有很多地方需要和你溝通,但是,唉,我不知道……今天我真是非常忙,我唯一能設(shè)法擠出的時(shí)間可能是在午休時(shí)間……
1--你那么忙,我可不愿意讓你在午休時(shí)還工作。
2--沒關(guān)系……我已經(jīng)連續(xù)好幾天都是邊吃午飯邊工作了。
1--你看這樣可以嗎……我們今天下午安排一個(gè)工作餐,我去訂一些中餐外賣。我請(qǐng)客。
2--你沒必要這么做……
1--我一定要這么辦。你能抽時(shí)間幫我,我真的很感激。你最喜歡吃什么樣的快餐?我會(huì)滿足 你的口味。
2--說(shuō)實(shí)話,我確實(shí)喜歡吃中餐……那我們就定在12:30一邊吃炒雜碎,一邊討論馬丁的報(bào)告。這樣安排不錯(cuò)吧?
1--太棒了,我去弄吃的。
