I wanted to have a word about the departmental budget forecast you asked me to draw up. I totally agree with you on the need for working out the future expenditure well in advance, it's only that since we've never done this forecast in such a detailed way before，it's taking us much longer than I expected. Would it be acceptable to the board if I deferred the submission date by a fortnight?

我想談?wù)勀阕屛也輸M的部門預(yù)算。我完全同意你需要事先制定未來支出的想法，只是，因?yàn)槲覀儚膩頉]有做過如此詳細(xì)的預(yù)測，耗時(shí)比我預(yù)期的要長很多。如我將提交日期延后兩星期，委員會(huì)可否接受？

May I come in here? Thank you. I think Tom's last point was very valuable. We mustn't forget how important it is to make a really good impression when we launch the new T-six engine at the Air Show in Paris. Although we're very familiar with the engine's specifications and performance data, we aren't skilled at giving polished multi-media presentations which the audience expects nowadays. Tom's right. I think we should consider hiring in a professional from a marketing company.

我可以進(jìn)來嗎？謝謝你！我認(rèn)為湯姆最后一點(diǎn)很有價(jià)值。我們不能忘記在巴黎航空展上推出新的T- 6引擎時(shí)，給人留下好印象是多么重要。雖然我們對引擎的規(guī)格和性能數(shù)據(jù)非常熟悉，但是我們并不擅長于做現(xiàn)在觀眾所期待的精美的多媒體演示。湯姆是對的。我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該考慮從一家營銷公司招聘一名專業(yè)人員。
