H = Howard J = Julie
H: I’d like to hire a new marketing assistant.
J: Have you asked Linda about it?
H: Not yet, but I’ll do it this week.
J: I’m sure she’ll give you the green light.
H: I hope so. I’ve been swamped with work.
J: Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
H: Thanks. I really appreciate it.
J: Just don’t ask me to type, file, or answer phones.
H = Howard L = Linda
H: Linda, can I hire an assistant?
L: Do you have anyone in mind?
H: Not yet.
L: What type of person are you looking for?
H: I’m not sure, but they must be efficient, hard-working, and smart.
L: Once you find someone to fit the bill, just go ahead and hire them.
H: Thanks, Linda. I’m sure I can find the right person.
I’m so swamped with work at the moment that I
can’t discuss the matter with you.
我此刻工作忙死了,沒空跟你討論這件事。
