L: did you get my email?

Z: I certainly did. Do you want to come in and give me some feedback about your weekend?

L: sure.

Z: how did the business trip go?

L: well, to be honest, nothing is more stressful than going on a business trip with our boss.

Z: I understand. The last time I went on a business trip with the boss, I didn't even have enough to eat!

L: I also think the company is pretty cheap with travel expenses. I spent half of the weekend on a train! Surely they could have afforded to buy a few plane tickets!

Z: our company is quite conscious of the environmental problems that frequent flying causes.

L: I see. Well, then perhaps they could give me a few days off after a business trip. It was really tiring for me.

Z: I can ask the boss about giving you the day off today.

L: thank you. I can't imagine getting much done today. I'm just too exhausted!

Z: no problem. Did you bring any gifts back for your department?

L: no, should I have?

你收到我的郵件了嗎?

我收到了.你能不能過來跟我說說周末出差的情況.

當(dāng)然可以.

這次出差怎么樣?

嗯,坦白說,沒什么事比跟老板出差壓力更大了.

我明白.上次我跟老板一起出差,我甚至連飯都吃不飽!

我還覺得我們公司差旅費定的太少了.我在火車上浪費了半個周末的時間.他們肯定能付得起幾張機票錢!

咱們公司對頻繁飛行造成的環(huán)境污染問題總是很敏感.

我明白.那出差結(jié)束后他們應(yīng)該給我?guī)滋鞎r間休假.我實在是太累了.

我可以跟老板申請讓你今天休假.

謝謝你.我實在不能想象今天再干很多活兒會變成什么樣.我簡直是筋疲力盡了.

沒問題.你給你們部門的同事們帶禮物了嗎?

沒有,我應(yīng)該帶嗎?
