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?
安排加班
A：我不愿对你如此，爱丽丝，可我不得不请你再加些班。
B：非得在今天下午吗，费尔班克斯先生？我已经有安排了。
A：嗯，我希望能在今天做，可是如果你已经做了安排，我们可以明天做。
B：如能这样我很感激，先生。您考虑让我待多久？
