吉姆:
I'm truly sorry about this, but we are going to have to cancel tomorrow's meeting.



我实在很抱歉.我们明天的会议必须取消.
约翰:
That can't be! You know fully well how important it is. You gave me the green light just two days ago.



这怎么可以呢!你很清楚这个会议的重要性.两天前还说没问题的.
吉姆:
I know. But there's really nothing that can be done about it. The A/V equipment has been damaged, and can't be fixed on such short time.



我知道.但我实在无能为力.视听器材受损.无法在一两天内维修.
约翰:
Mr. Sun is going to hit the roof when he hears about it. These negotiations are touch and go-this just might push them over the brink.



夏先生知道这件事会气得跳脚.这些生意谈得很不稳.如此一来可能就砸了.
吉姆:
I've told all departments of the cancellation and rescheduled with the client for Friday.



我已经通知各部门会议要取消.也和客户改约在星期三.
约翰:
I'd better call the client again myself and offer my apologies.



我最好亲自再打通电话向客户致歉.
吉姆:
Mr. Xia will be out of the office this afternoon. You`ll have to tell him first.



夏先生下午会出去.你最好先告诉他.
约翰:
I see. I`ll go to his office at once.



我知道了.我马上去他办公室.
