MR. SMITH: Well, Yuri, tell me about it.

YURI: I'm sorry I can't bring better news, sir. The site is a disaster.

MR. SMITH: That's what I was afraid of. 

YURI: It is not only the earthquake, sir. But the mudslides.

Much of the north half of the site has been covered over by mud.

MR. SMITH: Mud? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district.

I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango.

YURI: That's what we thought, sir. That's what the news reported.

But there was one little mudslide in our district too. Right above our site.

MR. SMITH: Oh, that's terrible! What bad luck!

I wish we had never come to this country.

But, if it isn't the strikes and the revolutionaries, it's the earthquakes.

Our operations here are finished! 

YURI: I'm sorry, sir.

MR. SMITH: It's not your fault, Yuri.

But tell me. When will Ivan be able to get out there?

YURI: Well, it took me about nine hours to get back here by car.

If Ivan leaves tonight, I think he should be there by tomorrow lunch.

MR. SMITH: Good. I want an estimate of damages as soon as possible.

YURI: But sir...

MR. SMITH: Yes, Yuri?

YURI: I wouldn't recommend sending Ivan now.

Especially not at night. The roads aren't safe.

MR. SMITH: Has the earthquake damaged the bridges too?

YURI: No, sir. The bridges are fine.

But I've heard rumors that the revolutionaries are coming down from the mountains.

There has been fighting, sir.

MR. SMITH: Are you serious? Fighting? But I didn't hear anything on the news.

YURI: You know the government controls the press here, sir. They don't want it reported. 

MR. SMITH: Oh, this is terrible, Yuri. Terrible!

So we can't even assess the damages. How can we do business in this country?

Either we're buried under mud, or we're in danger of getting kidnapped.

No, I can't believe this mess!

YURI: I'm sorry, sir.

MR. SMITH: You don't have to keep saying that, Yuri. It's not your fault.

But me--I'm the one who should be sorry.

It was me who suggested operations here in the first place! Oh, what can we do?

史密斯:嗯,尤里,告诉我怎么一回事。

尤里:我很抱歉我不能带来好一点的消息。工地的情况很糟糕。

史密斯:这就是我所担心的。

尤里:并不只是地震,还有塌方。

大部分在北半边的工地已被泥浆给掩埋了。

史密斯:泥浆?但艾文告诉我在那个区域没有塌方。

我以为所有的塌方都在 Chichitango。

尤里:那是我们认为的。新闻是那样报导的。

但只有一点塌方在我们的区域,就在我们工地的上方。

史密斯:喔,那真是太可怕了!真是运气不好!

我真希望我们从未来过这个国家。

如果不是罢工和群众运动,就是地震。

我们的运作要完蛋了!

尤里:我很抱歉。

史密斯:这并不是你的错,尤里。

但告诉我,艾文什么时候才能到达那里?

尤里:嗯,一共花了我九个小时从那里开回来。

如果艾文今晚动身,我想他应该可以在明天中饭左右到达。

史密斯:很好,我想尽快估计一下损坏情况。

尤里:但是先生……

史密斯:什么事,尤里。

尤里:我并不建议现在就派艾文去。

特别是在晚上,路上并不很安全。

史密斯:地震有破坏到桥吗?

尤里:没有,桥还很好。

但我听到一些谣传有关群众运动将会由山区游行。

已有打斗了。

史密斯:你是认真的吗?打斗?但我没有听到任何新闻报导。

尤里:你知道这里政府控制着媒体,他们不想被报导出来。

史密斯:喔,这太可怕了,尤里。太可怕了!

所以我们连评估损坏都不行。我们要如何在这个国家做生意呢?

我们不是被泥浆活埋,就是担心会遭到绑架。

不,我不能相信这个乱象!

尤里:我很抱歉。

史密斯:你不需要一直说抱歉,尤里。这并不是你的错。

但我......我才应该感到抱歉。

是我当初提议到这里来经营的。喔,我们该怎么办呢?
