Narrator
Hello, 今天可真是有点儿冷啊！

Anna
Hi Denise!

Denise
Good morning Anna.

Anna
Brrr... It’s so cold in here.

Denise
The window was left open overnight.

Anna
My papers have been blown everywhere.

Denise
Mine too! Tom was the last one here last night – it must've been him who left the window open.

Anna
Brrr... Right then, to work! Oh, there's a note from Paul, it must've fallen off my desk: 'I would like your ideas on our stock management system for our new laser-curve fruit range, so we know we can keep up with demand. Please write me a couple of pages of suggestions and leave it on my desk. I'll be back this afternoon.' Wow! I have to come up with ideas for a stock management system! Gosh, where do I begin?!

Tom
Good morning.

Anna
Morning!

Tom
Hey, my certificate for Plastic Pear Salesman of the Year is on the floor!

Anna
Right... stock management systems... stock-up on your laser-curved lemons … My first idea is to calculate the total…

Later…

Narrator
安娜写完了她的报告，放在了Paul 的办公桌上，可是没这么简单。哎，安娜，这有点儿问题。

Anna
Oh?

Narrator
我来教你几个短语，你可以向别人解释出了错儿。

I think there's been a misunderstanding. 意思是我想这里可能有点误会。

Or:

There's been a bit of a mix-up. 这出了点儿错。

Anna
But what misunderstanding? What mix-up?

Narrator
你还可以说：

Let me explain what happened, 让我解释一下发生了什么事情。

Anna
But-

Paul
Ah, good afternoon everyone.

All
Hello.

Paul
Tom, this is an excellent piece of work!

Tom
Sorry?

Paul
These are by far the best ideas you've ever had.

Tom
I don't understand.

Paul
Our stock management system!

Tom
Can I see? ... Oh, that's not mine.

Paul
Eh?

Anna
I think there's been a misunderstanding. I did it.

Paul and Tom
You?

Anna
I got your note Paul, here.

Paul
No, no, that note was for Tom.

Anna
Oh, then there's been a bit of a mix up.

Tom
Did you take that note from my desk?

Anna
No, no!

Tom
I suppose you threw my pear salesman certificate on the floor at the same time too!

Anna
I didn’t! Let me explain. The wind must have blown the note for Tom under my desk.

Denise
Tom left the window open overnight. Our papers were blown all over the place.

Paul
I see, well, golly gosh. In that case, well done, Anna! Excellent work, even though you weren't meant to do it. And Tom, your ideas are still welcome of course. Thanks.

Anna
Sorry Tom.

Tom
What? Oh, I'm not bothered. I've still got some great ideas in my head anyway.

Narrator
Yeah, right! 让Tom 自己去琢磨他的伟大计划吧。我们来看看 Anna 刚才用到了那些短语来解释误会。

I think there's been a misunderstanding.
There's been a bit of a mix-up.
Let me explain what happened.

看来，这个错竟然还让Anna 有机会显示了一下她的能力，Paul 对她的能力很佩服。说不定会有新的机会呢．好了，我们下次节目再续！
