办公室英语口语第40期:Delaying an appointment推迟会面

（单词翻译）

Delaying an appointment
A: I’m afraid we are really short staffed this week, Mr. Crandal. I’d like to accommodate¹ you, but I just don’t think I’ll have the time.
B: Are you telling me you’re not going to meet with me?
A: Not at all, sir. I’d just like to push it up to next week. I’ll have a lot more free time at the beginning of next week.
B: Well, I don’t like it, but I guess I don’t have any choice.

推迟会面时间
A：恐怕这星期我们的确人手不够，克兰道先生。我想给您服务，可就恐怕没有时间。
B：你的意思是不打算见我了吗？
A：绝对不是，先生。我只是想挪到下星期。下周初我会空闲得多。
B：好吧，我不愿意这样，不过我想也别无选择了。
