时间：2019-01-20 作者：英语课 分类：纯正地道美语
A: And so, I just wanted to check in with you and find out where we are with this ject. As you know, you’ve missed a fairly significant deadline last week, and this will negativity impact the team’s ability to move forward with the next stages of this project.
B:I know, I’m really sorry that I missed the deadline. But really, it wasn’t my fault. You see, we had all of these unexpected technical problems at the last minute, and that I couldn’t get into the database and extract the kind of information that I needed for the data analyis. You know, if the tech guys would have done their job and kept the CRM stable, then I wouldn’t have missed my deadline.
A:Oh, come on! An excuse like that is tantamount to lying. You’re essentially 1 blaming the tech team for your time management issues, rather than accepting responsibility for the fact that you were procrastinating 2 for the past two weeks.
B:No, I’m not trying to pass the buck 3 here; I know that it was me who is ultimately responsible for getting this done. But the thing is, I could have finished on time if the system hadn’t gone down. And you know, with everything I’ve got going on now, I can’t afford to waste time dealing 4 with technical problems. I’ve got a lot on my plate and there are only twenty-four hours in a day...
A: I’m not going to accept this excuse. You’re using these small technical glitches 5 as a crutch 6 and trying to rationalize the fact that you’ve missed your deadline. Look, we have standards and I expect you to live up to those standards. No more phoney cuses. If you’re in over your head, you tell me. No more missed deadlines. Now, I want that data on my desk by nine am!
