Arranging overtime
A: I hate to do this to you, Alice, but I’m going to have to ask you to put in some more overtime.
B: Does it have to be this afternoon, Mr. Fairbanks? I’ve already made plans.
A: Well, I would have preferred to do it today, but if you’ve already made plans, we can do it tomorrow.
B: I’d appreciate that, sir. How long do you think you’ll need me to stay?

B:如能這樣我很感激,先生。您考慮讓我待多久?
