口语连载01:Bob's day at work.

本帖最后由 bonnieju 于 2011-4-3 16:43 编辑

Bob works as a manager in a furniture store. Peter, his boss, is not happy about sales. Bob's new advertising campaign hasn't helped. Peter decides to fire him.

  Peter: Bob, I hate to break the news, but our sales were down again last month.

  Bob: Down again, Peter?

  Peter: Yeah. These days, everybody's shopping at our competition, Honest Abe's Furniture Store.

  Bob: But everything in there costs an arm and a leg!

  Peter: That's true. They do charge top dollar.

  Bob: And their salespeople are very strange. They really give me the creeps!

  Peter: Well, they must be doing something right over there. Meanwhile, we're about to go belly-up.

  Bob: I'm sorry to hear that. I thought my new advertising campaign would save the day.

  Peter: Let's face it: your advertising campaign was a real flop.

  Bob: Well then I'll go back to the drawing board.

  Peter: It's too late for that. You're fired!

  Bob: What? You're giving me the ax?

  Peter: Yes. I've already found a new manager. She's as sharp as a tack.

  Bob: Can't we even talk this over? After all, I've been working here for 10 years!

  Peter: There's no point in arguing, Bob. I've already made up my mind.

  Bob: Oh well, at least I won't have to put up with your nonsense anymore! Good-bye to you and good-bye to this dead-end job.

  Peter: Please leave before I lose my temper!

    cost an arm and a let 为花费的代价太高。
   belly-up 为破产的意思。
   save the day 可以挽回...
She's as sharp as a tack. 意思为她在这方便很有能力,她很能干...
There's no point in arguing. 我们没有必要再争吵下去,no point in doing sth.
