A: Mrs. Montgomery? I’ve been trying to figure out when we should have the New Year’s party. Could you take a book at these dates?

B: Sure. The twenty-ninth is out. I’ll be out of the office all day at a seminar¹. Either the twenty-eighth or the thirtieth is fine.

A: Well, why don’t we make it the thirtieth? We can set it up from three to five. That way, everybody can just go home afterwards.

B: Sounds good to me. You make up the invitations, I’ve got run. I’ve got a meeting in five minutes.

办公室聚会

A：蒙格玛利女士？我正在盘算着哪天开一个新年聚会。你看看这几天行吗？

B：当然。29号不行了。我要外出开一整天演讨会。28号或30号都行。

A：嗯，那我们就定30号吧。可以从3点开到5点。这样的话，大家可以结束后就回家。

B：我觉得不错。你来做请柬，我得走了。五分钟后我有个会要开。
