A: The editing process has been very smooth. Every translator submitted his or her work on time. Our copy editor is now working on proofreading.
B: Is the whole editing thing working on schedule?
A: We are even ahead of schedule. Hopefully we will have a hundred thousand copies of the book printed a week earlier.
B: How are you going to use the time you save?
A: Being ahead of schedule means that we have more time to make the book perfect. We will spend the time on checking every little detail.
A: 编译的过程非常顺利。每一位译者都按时交稿了。我们的文字编辑正在校对内容。
B: 整个编辑工作都是依照计划表进行的吗？
A: 我们甚至超前了。我们有望提前一星期印刷10万册。
B: 那么你们要怎么利用省下来的时间？
A: 提前完成意味着我们有更多时间完善这本书。我们会把时间用在检查每一个细节上面。
A: Your group was supposed to give me the outline and objectives last week, but I didn't get your e-mail until yesterday. Bob, could you please explain why there was a delay?
B: We've been trying really hard to meet the deadline, but the deadline just came too soon. It really is an impossible mission for three people to finish so much work in no more than a week.
A: I don't think the deadline is not reasonable. I didn't ask you to complete an entire project. I only asked you to write an outline and objectives.
B: Yes, you are right. We're terribly sorry about the delay.
A: You have to learn how to make adjustments to busy schedule.
A: 你们这组应该上星期就把大纲和目标给我，但直到昨天我才收到你们的电子邮件。鲍伯，你能解释一下为什么会延迟吗？
B: 我们一直都非常努力想赶上截止日期，但截止日真的来得太快了。要在一个星期之内完成这么多工作，对于三个人来说真的是一项不可能的任务。
A: 我不觉得这个截止日期不合理。我并没有要你们完成一个完整的项目，我只要你们写出大纲和目标。
B: 是的，您说得对。我们对迟交感到非常抱歉。
A: 你们必须要学会如何适应忙碌的工作日程。
