Dialogue B     S: Shane  D: Darina

 

D: Hey, good job finding this partition. How did you know where to look?

S: I recalled seeing it in the supply closet a few weeks ago. I’m not sure how to set it up, though.

D: It’s on wheels, so we can just roll it where we want.

S: Perfect! That’ll be easy. However, I really wish we didn’t need to do this.

D: Yeah, this is due to what happened between Megan and Lyra.

S: Oh? Did they have an argument? I wasn’t aware.

D: Yeah, it happened the other day. Lyra was singing with her headphones on during break. Megan got annoyed, so she said her singing voice was terrible. Now they aren’t on speaking terms.

S: Wow. And we nearly suffered the consequences of their petty fight. It’s best to keep good relations with others in the workplace.

D: Yeah, I agree. While it is important to be honest with others, we need to be mindful how we express ourselves, too.

S: That’s very true. I guess we will have to inform both receptionists about future reservations for the time being. It’s almost 2:30. Our clients will be here soon.

D: I’m glad we were able to sort things out in time. All right, let’s go greet them.

夏恩和達琳娜帶著一個滑動式隔板進入會議室。

達琳娜:嘿,你做得真好,找到了這個隔板。你怎麼知道要去哪裡找?

夏 恩:我記得幾個星期前在儲物櫃看過它。但我不太確定要如何架設。

達琳娜:它底下有輪子,所以我們只要把它推到我們要的地方即可。

夏 恩:完美!那就簡單了。不過,我真希望我們不需要做這件事。

達琳娜:對啊,都是因為梅根和萊拉之間發生的事啦。

夏 恩:喔?她們吵架了?我不知道耶。

達琳娜:對呀,前幾天發生的。萊拉在休息時間戴著耳機唱歌。梅根被惹惱了,所以她說萊拉的歌聲很糟。她們現在處於不講話狀態。

夏 恩:哇。然後我們幾乎要為她們小心眼的吵架付出代價。最好還是在工作環境與他人保持良好關係。

達琳娜:對,我同意。儘管對彼此誠實很重要,但我們還是要注意表達的方式。

夏 恩:完全沒錯。我猜我們目前必須為了未來的預約,一次通知兩位接待員。快兩點半了。我們的客戶快來了。

達琳娜:我很開心我們能夠及時處理一切。好,來去跟他們打招呼吧。
