A: We’re going to need a lot of new stuff after the holidays. Let’s make a list.

B: Fine, Mr. Richardson. What do you have in mind?

A: Well, to begin with, we’re going to have to get a new desk for you and I’d like to replace that old typewriter.

B: Yes! I agree! We could really use another one! I’ll get on that right away! What else would you like to order?

购置新设备

A：假期过后我们将需要许多新东西。咱们列张单子。

B：好的，理查森先生。您是怎么考虑的？

A：嗯，首先我们先得给我买张新桌子，另外我想替换掉那台旧打字机。

B：好！我赞成！我们是该再要一台了！我这就去办！您还想订些什么？

Passing along a request

A: Mr. Blake? Mr. Foster’s on the phone. He’d like to know if you can send over those training manuals?

B: Oh, tell him I’ll leave them at his office tomorrow afternoon.

A: He was hoping that you could drop them off this afternoon.

B: I’m afraid that I can’t do that. They’re at the printer’s being copied. They’ll be back tomorrow before 1 o’clock.
