A: I’d like to set a fixed time for this meeting before we finish today. Can you all take a look at your schedules?

B: Thursday mornings are usually the slowest around here. Why don’t we set it for Thursday at 10:00 a.m.?

A: That’s out for me. I already have a standard meeting on Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. How about Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 p.m.?

B: That’s all right for my department. I don’t know how the rest of you feel.

安排小組會

A：我想在咱們今天散會前定下開這個會的時間。你們能看看你們的日程安排嗎？

A：我不行。周四上午9:30我已經有了個例會。星期三下午2:00怎么樣？

B：我們部門沒問題。不知道你們其他人覺得怎樣？

A mandatory meeting

A: Paul? I need to work out a time to get together with your people.

B: Does everybody need to be there? Hilary and Jason are on vacation this week.

A: It would be best if everybody could be there. How about next week sometime?

B: Let me take a look at the schedule. I’ll get back to you this afternoon, all right?

B：我來看看時間表。我下午給您回話，行嗎？
