Negotiating a Deadline

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

我担心我们周五之前完成不了报告。

What's causing the delay?

是什么原因造成了延误？

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

我们还在等另一个团队的销售数据。

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

客户期待本周收到，所以相当紧急。

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

我们能不能周五先发一份草稿，周一再发最终版？

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

这样也许行得通，只要草稿里包含主要结论。

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

当然。我会确保关键发现都包含在里面。

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

好。我会把新的时间安排告诉客户。
