办公室英语口语第120期:Disagreeing on a project 意见

Disagreeing on a project
A: Mr. Crandall, I’m sorry, but I really don’t see the value in doing this entire project over from scratch¹. It would take a lot of work.
B: That’s certainly true. But, that’s what this job is all about, Maria. There's no doubt that this project is unacceptable.
A: I agree. But I think that we can handle the problem by making a few major changes. I’d appreciate it if you would give me a chance.
B: All right, Maria. I’ll give you until tomorrow at 4:00 to produce a satisfactory² piece of work, but otherwise, you’ll have to re-do it.

意见分歧
A：科兰德尔先生，请原谅。可我的确看不出有什么必要把整个方案完全推倒重做。这太费事了。
B：你说的没错，但是，这正是这个工作的重点所在，Maria。毫无疑问地，这个方案是不可接受的.
A：我承认。但是我想我们可以做几处大的改动来解决这个问题。若您给我个机会就太好了。
B：好吧，玛丽亚。我等你到明天4点拿出份令人满意的方案，否则你得重做一遍。
