A Hi, Francis, how was your business trip?
Francis,你好,你出差的情况怎么样了?
B It was a nightmare.
噩梦一个。
A What’s up?
发生什么事?
B Actually, the business trip itself was very successful. We arrived on time, we had nice conversations and we settled some important issues for the next year.
事实上,这次的出差是非常成功的。我们准时到达,我们会话愉快,我们解决了明年的一些重要的问题。
A Sounds quite fruitful, why do you call it still a nightmare then?
听起来很成功,为什么你说仍然是个噩梦?
B Well, the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge. I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam. When I finally got home, I was totally exhausted. But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout.
额,在返程班机上,航空公司把我的行李弄丢了,然后我在和主管人员谈话时,我的手提包丢失了。我比预期的还要晚3个钟头离开机场,接着我遇到交通阻塞。当我最终到家时,我筋疲力尽了。但是我发现电梯由于断电不能工作。
A This is really a sad story. Did they trace back your luggage?
情况真是糟糕。他们找回你的行李了吗?
B I am still waiting for their call.
我仍然在等他们的电话。
A Take it easy, all sufferings have their reward.
别着急,会苦尽甘来的。
