　　Molly : Do you have the report finished?

　　Gordon: I finished it yesterday, but my dog ate it.

　　Molly : Excuses, excuses. How about the weekly newsletter, is that done?

　　Gordon: Sorry to say a virus erased¹ my hard drive.

　　Molly : You must be kidding? I am fed up with your poor work habits.

　　Gordon: I'll re-do it ASAP.

　　Molly : While you are re-doing that, I need another copy of the monthly numbers, this paper is blank.

　　Gordon: That's because the printer is on the blink. Some times it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

　　Molly : So many excuses. Are you slacking off in the office?

　　Gordon: Of course not.

　　Molly : How about the time I caught you sleeping?

　　Gordon: It won't happen again, I promise.

　　Molly : Well, get back to work.

　　Gordon: I'll get those reports on your desk ASAP.

　　莫莉：你的报告完成了吗？

　　戈登：我昨天就做完了，可是我的狗把它吃掉了。

　　莫莉：借口，借口。那每周的电子杂志呢，做完了吗？

　　戈登：不好意思，病毒把我硬盘的文件弄没了。

　　莫莉：你一定是在开玩笑吧？我受够了你差劲儿的工作习惯。

　　戈登：我会尽快重新做。

　　莫莉：你重新做的时候，再给我做一份每月的数据，这张纸是空的。

　　戈登：那是因为打印机坏了，有的时候能用，有的时候不能用。

　　莫莉：这么多的借口，你是不是在办公室偷懒呀？

　　戈登：当然不是。

　　莫莉：那我发现你睡觉的事怎么解释？

　　戈登：我保证，这种事不会再发生了。

　　莫莉：好吧，回去工作吧。

　　戈登：我会尽快把那些报告放在你的桌子上。
