1--Where is everyone? We were supposed to start fifteen minutes ago!
2--Jo called and said she’d be here in a sec. She said she got tied up with a client.
3--Sorry I’m late everyone. There was a huge traffic jam on the highway this morning.
4--Morning everyone! Were you stuck in traffic as well, Jess? There was a huge pileup on the highway and traffic was backed up for miles.
2--Scott just called and said that he’s running late. His last meeting ran over, but he’s on his way now.
1--Guys, this is not acceptable. If I say the meeting starts at ten, the meeting starts at ten. Not ten-oh-one! And definitely not ten-ten! All right. Let’s get started. So the first thing I want to talk about is our...
5--I’m really sorry, everyone! I know I’m late. But really, it’s not my fault. I was getting a coffee at Starbucks, and the line was way too long. I was waiting for twenty minutes to get my coffee!

1--人都在哪兒?我們原本十分鐘前就應(yīng)該開會!
2--Jo打電話來說她馬上就到。她剛才一直忙于和顧客商議,走不開。
3--抱歉,我來晚了。今天早晨公路上塞車很嚴重。
4--大家早晨好。Jess,你們也遇到交通堵塞了?公路上堵車很李航,被堵的車輛有幾公里長。
2--Scott打電話來說他將晚到一會兒。他最后一個會議開完了,現(xiàn)在正在路上。
1--同志們,這太令人無法接受了。如果我說十點開會,會議就應(yīng)該再十點開。不是九點五十開,也不是十點十分開。好吧,我們現(xiàn)在就開始,我想說的第一件事是……
5--對不起。我知道我遲到了。但是這真不是我的錯。我想在星巴克買杯咖啡,但是排隊的人太多了。我等了20分鐘才買到咖啡。
