[00:21.71]啊，糟了，复兴号没有座位了。我本来想在路上把文件过目一遍的。

[00:47.75]They've got some nerve,Scheduling the meeting so early.Don't they realize how long it takes to get there?

[01:05.16]这小镇太沉闷了！连一家可以消磨时间的咖啡店都找不到。
[01:07.94]Oh,no.I've run out of samples-I'll have to go and buy some at the nearest store.
[01:10.82]喔，糟了，样品用完了--我得到最近的商店去买一些。
[01:13.69]I can hardly understand their dialect,You'd think at least they'd speak standard English for business!
[01:16.80]我几乎听不懂他们的方言。一般来说至少在谈事情时，他们应讲标准的英语。

[01:33.15]我的衬衫被汗水湿透了。要是多带一件来就好了。
[01:35.71]My feet are killing me.If only I didn't have to keep wearing these high heels!
[01:38.74]脚好痛。如果不必穿这高跟鞋多好！
[01:41.77]They gave me so many samples and company brochures.It's a heck of lot to lug around now.
[01:44.59]他们给我多样品和公司简介了。太多了，现在带起来可真吃力。
[01:47.42]Why did they have to call me here at the hotel,just when I'm relaxing?
[01:49.90]我正在休息时，他们为什么要打电话到饭店找我？
[01:52.38]Nothing at all has been decided.What was the point in coming all this way?
[01:54.99]什么都没有定下来。老远跑来为的是什么呢？
[01:57.60]Maybe I should get some souvenirs for the folks back at the office.
[01:59.42]也许我该带些纪念品回去给公司的同事。

[02:38.75]It's a headache trying to get around in a strange,new town.I'll just take a taxi and avoid all the trouble.
[02:41.79]要想在一个陌生的市镇走动是件令人头痛的事。为了省麻烦，就叫出租车吧。

[02:47.64]嘿！现金就要不够用了。不晓得附近是不是有A银行分行。
[02:50.45]What a terrible economy hotel!The shower doesn't work.They shouldn't be so cheap on the travel expenses.
[02:54.04]多糟糕的廉价旅馆！莲蓬头不能用吗。公司不该在差旅费上这么吝啬。
