Scenario 10 動口不動手的人太多了！？
Too many chiefs and not enough Indians
 
情境對話
 
Judy is in charge of administration and a lot of times people come to her for help. She is always willing to help but one day she is fed up and complains to coworker Tina.
Judy負責行政，所以很多時候有人來找她幫忙。她平時都很樂意幫忙，但是有一天她實在受不了，就跟同事Tina抱怨。
 
Judy: Just because I’m in charge of administration does not make me a servant. It seems like everyone can just walk into my office and tell me to do this or that. This company just has too many chiefs and not enough Indians！
Judy: 就因為我是負責行政的不代表我是他們的僕人。好多時候這幫人隨意就走進我的辦公室，要我做這做那的，這家公司動嘴的人很多，但是做事的人太少了！
 
Tina: I’m so sorry, did you talk to your boss about it？
Tina: 真是抱歉，你有跟老闆提起這件事嗎？
 
Judy: Yes I did and he said he will assign office assistants to every department so I won’t be the only one.
Judy: 有，他說他會安排每一個部門有自己的行政同事，就不會一直找我了。
 
Tina: That sounds like a good plan！
Tina: 這聽起來是個好方法！
 
Scenario 20 她搞砸了，所以我們現在要付45%而非30%！？ Dropped the ball
 
情境對話
 
Lewis and Clark are chatting during lunch break.
Lewis跟Clark在午休時聊天。
 
Lewis: Why does Francine look so sad this morning?
Lewis: 為什麼Francine今天看起來很難過啊？
 
Clark: Oh you haven’t heard about it? Remember she was in charge of this company acquisition? She really dropped the ball on this one.
Clark: 喔！你還沒聽說嗎？記不記得她是負責購買這一家公司的人？她在這過程中犯大錯了。
 
Lewis: So what exactly happened?
Lewis: 所以到底發生甚麼事？
 
Clark: Well what happened was that this company made slight adjustment to the payment method and Francine did not catch it. Now instead of paying them with 30% cash we have to pay 45% cash which is a big deal. The boss was very upset!
Clark: 她沒發現那家公司在購買條款上動了手腳，所以我們現在要付對方45%的現金而不是原來的30%。老闆很不高興呢！
 
Lewis: Oh, yes I bet.
Lewis: 喔！那是肯定的。
