　　情景对话 2：

　　金想在一月份休假以便去探望在中国的双亲。她正同人事经理助理亨特商量使用她的假期探亲。

　　King: Morning, Hunter. 早上好，亨特。

　　Hunter: Hi, King. What can I do for you? 你好，金。有什么事吗？

　　King: I'd like to talk to you about my vacation. 我想同你谈谈我的假期。

　　Hunter: You're lucky, King. I'm just going to draw up the holiday rotation this year. So, go ahead and tell me what you want. 你真幸运，金。我刚准备制订今年的假期轮值表。所以，说吧，告诉我你有什么要求。

　　King: Well, I'm planning to have three weeks' leave in January and I want to use my vacation days for this year. 是这样，我正计划在一月份休假三个星期，而且我想用我今年的休假日。

　　Hunter: Going abroad, I suppose? 准备出国，是不是？

　　King: Yes, I want to go to see my parents in China. 是的，我想去探望在中国的父母。

　　Hunter: Good idea. But it so happened that Donald wanted to get away in January too. And you can't be away at the same time as Donald. 好主意。不过碰巧唐纳德也想一月份休假，而你不能跟唐纳德同时休假。

　　King: Why can't we both go when we want? 为什么我们不能想去休假的时候都去呢？

　　Hunter: Because there must be someone to keep the work going. 因为总得有人把工作进行下去。

　　King: I see. So when I'm away, Donald has to stand in for me. 我明白了。这么说当我休假时唐纳德得替代我？

　　Hunter: Yes, and vice versa. 是的，而且反过来也是。

　　King: Well. You know, I have a good reason for chossing January. 这个，你知道，我挑选一月份是有原因的。

　　Hunter: What's that? 什么原因？

　　King: Because we celebrate the Spring Festival in January this year, and it's our tradition to have a family reunion then. 因为今年我们在一月份庆祝春节，而且春节期间合家团圆是我们的传统。

　　Hunter: All right. I'll do my best to meet your request. 那好吧，我会尽量满足你得要求。

　　King: That's very kind of you, Hunter. Thank you very much. 你真是太好了，亨特，非常感谢。

　　Hunter: No problem. 不用谢。
