Negotiating a Deadline

I'm worried we won't be able to finish the report by Friday.

我擔心我們星期五前完成不了報告。

What's causing the delay?

是什麼原因造成延誤？

We're still waiting for the sales figures from the other team.

我們還在等另一個團隊的銷售數據。

The client is expecting it this week, so it's quite urgent.

客戶期待本週收到，所以相當緊急。

Could we send them a draft on Friday and the final version on Monday?

我們能不能星期五先寄草稿，星期一再寄最終版？

That might work, as long as the draft includes the main conclusions.

這樣或許行得通，只要草稿裡包含主要結論。

Absolutely. I'll make sure the key findings are in there.

當然。我會確保重點發現都包含在裡面。

Fine. I'll let the client know about the new schedule.

好。我會把新的時程告知客戶。
