   A) A list of the typical excuses for not being done on time:


  My dog ate the report. Oh, you needed that this week? You're not the boss of me. Put it on the pile, I'll get to it whenever.
  一些在未能及时完成工作时常用的借口:我的狗把报告吃了。噢,你这星期就需要呀? 你不是我的老板。把它放在那堆文件上,我总是会做的。
  B) A list of promises to do better: It won't happen again. I'll get right on it. That was a special case, I assure you. It will be on your desk before you know it.
  一些要改过的承诺:这种事不会再发生了。我马上就做。我向你保证,那是特殊情况。很快就把它放到您办公桌上。
  Diologue
  Molly : Do you have the report finished?
  Gordon: I finished it yesterday, but my dog ate it.
  Molly : Excuses, excuses. How about the weekly newsletter, is that done?
  Gordon: Sorry to say a virus erased 1 my hard drive.
  Molly : You must be kidding? I am fed up with your poor work habits.
  Gordon: I'll re-do it ASAP.
  Molly : While you are re-doing that, I need another copy of the monthly numbers, this paper is blank.
  Gordon: That's because the printer is on the blink. Some times it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
  Molly : So many excuses. Are you slacking off in the office?
  Gordon: Of course not.
  Molly : How about the time I caught you sleeping?
  Gordon: It won't happen again, I promise.
  Molly : Well, get back to work.
  Gordon: I'll get those reports on your desk ASAP.
  莫莉:你的报告完成了吗?
  戈登:我昨天就做完了,可是我的狗把它吃掉了。
  莫莉:借口,借口。那每周的电子杂志呢,做完了吗?
  戈登:不好意思,病毒把我硬盘的文件弄没了。
  莫莉:你一定是在开玩笑吧?我受够了你差劲儿的工作习惯。
  戈登:我会尽快重新做。
  莫莉:你重新做的时候,再给我做一份每月的数据,这张纸是空的。
  戈登:那是因为打印机坏了,有的时候能用,有的时候不能用。
  莫莉:这么多的借口,你是不是在办公室偷懒呀?
  戈登:当然不是。
  莫莉:那我发现你睡觉的事怎么解释?
  戈登:我保证,这种事不会再发生了。
  莫莉:好吧,回去工作吧。
  戈登:我会尽快把那些报告放在你的桌子上。
