Paul: Just look at this mess, It's hard to know where Tom's in-tray starts and his out-tray ends.
看看这么混乱，很难知道汤姆的抽屉从哪里开始到哪儿结束
Jack: Any sign of the letter?
信有什么标记吗？
Paul: It doesn't look like it. Look, you rummage around here and I'll see if I can find those accounts
这看起来不像。 看，你在这里附近找找，我看看能否找到那些帐目。
Jack: Any luck?
有什么发现吗？
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.
没有，不在我通常放置他们的地方。我在达布的时候，谁会知道他们会他们放哪儿了？这儿太热了，我把风扇打开吧。
Jack: Maybe Tom found them at the last minute.
也许最后汤姆找到它们了。
Paul: Probably, anyway they're only copies. The original is safe at the bank.
也许吧，无论如何，他们只是副本。 原件在银行是安全的。
Jack: Eh, you don't think young Barratt took them, do you?
嗯，你不认为是小巴拉特拿走了吗？
Paul: What on earth for? He could buy a copy from the Government Auditors' Office if he was that desperate.
到底为什么？ 如果他是如此疯狂的话，他可以从政府审计署购买一份
Jack:Well, maybe he thought he could get hold of some juicy bits to impress his father.
好吧，也许他认为他可以攫取一些甜头从而给他的父亲留下印象。
Paul:Barratt, the industrial spy eh? But I can't really see our Diana letting him get away with it.
巴拉特，工业间谍？ 但我真的不能看出我们的戴安娜会让他带走账目。
Jack: You never know- a good looking lad like that with a flashy car- he might have own her over.
你永远不会知道 - 一个有豪车的潇洒的小伙子 - 他很可能赢得她了。
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，戴安娜会拿她的第一份工作冒险？ 反正看，足够了。 我已经有8个说服你有关出口的理由。
Jack: Of course, but that doesn't mean Barratt didn't take something when she wasn't looking.
当然，但这并不意味着巴拉特在她没有看到的时没有拿走什么东西，
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，坐下来听。 这个很重要。 ...我们必须一步一步地解决出口问题，而我认为目前第一步就是制定我们最新的前景规划。
Jack: Why don't we just concentrate on expanding here at home?
为什么我们不只是专注于在国内市场的扩展？
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.
对。 当然，我们应该坚持我们在国内市场的份额，我们会的 -开始要把巴尔特问题必须整理出来 - 但你必须承认这里的市场是有限的。
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。 但这样是安全的，政府采取进口管制来拒绝外国竞争者 - 尽管我必须承认。 我觉得我们可以在与外国的摩托竞争中保持不败。
Paul: I agree! That's why I'm suggesting exporting, because I feel we can compete with the best of them.
我同意！ 这就是为什么我建议出口，因为我觉得我们可以与他们中的最好的竞争。
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.
让我想想这事儿，你真正想说的是，我们将通过在Industria卖车赚更多的利润，我们有成本优势，可以收取更高的价格。
Paul: Exactly.
对
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，包装，航运，财会，更不要说雇佣更多的员工，将提高我们的成本，我们可能最终没有更好，也许是更糟。
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，现在有额外的成本，但如果我们做得正确，他们可以算在车的价格里，我们仍然有竞争优势。
Jack: How sure are you about our chances of success in the market?
您对我们在市场上取得成功的机会有多少信心？
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，这是棘手的问题。 它需要大量的研究。 我希望得到达布出口发展办公室的帮助...好吧，杰克，是不是很值得吧？
Jack:There'll be a lot of problems.
会有很多问题。
Paul: Nothing we can't handle.
没有什么我们不能解决的
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，我认为我们应该进行可行性研究
Paul: Marvellous Jack. I was hoping you'd be on my side.
优秀的杰克。 我就知道你会支持我的。
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!
这不只是为了你，我一直想看看我的车是否能适应世界范围的竞争 - 专业自豪感的问题！
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.
我相信它会是一个成功的，不过，说服董事会的其余人员将是困难的，我想立即直接开始，你对下周初的董事会会议要说什么。
Jack: Sounds fine, Is there anything you want me to do?
听起来不错，有什么你想让我做的？
Paul: Well, there is one thing-I'd like you to look at the production and transportation problems.
嗯，有一件事 - 我想让你看看生产和运输的问题
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，就这么定了，如果这个想法是可行的，你会得到我尽可能多的支持.
