Hello again and welcome to English at Work. It's another day at Tip（小费 v.给....小费） Top（ 顶部） Trading and hopefully a happier one, following Denise's bad news about her job. I wonder（想知道） if Tom and Anna are about to get the same bad news. It's really awful（令人不愉快的） having to let a member of your staff（工作人员） go, but that's the situation we're in, I'm afraid. And now you're going to let us go, aren't you? Honestly（真诚地） Paul, I've given my life to this company and quite frankly（坦率地）, I'm disappointed（失望的）.

  No, I'm angry at your decision（决定）. See your biscuits（(英)饼干）? Wow（哇）. Tom! That's what I think of Tip Top Trading. What?

  Hold（拿住） on Tom, I think you're a bit（一点） confused. I'm not sacking（解雇） you too. I need to talk to you about plastic（塑胶） vegetables. You know, the aubergine idea. Oh, I see. You're not sacking us.

  Sorry Paul, I'll buy you some more biscuits. So what was it that you had to say? Plastic vegetables. Yours and Anna's idea for a plastic aubergine. I like it. It's good.

  So I need you to develop（发展） a prototype（原型） we can use to show our potential（潜在的） clients. Well, that's great. So where do we get the prototype made（使）? Upstairs on the fourth floor, we have a great development（发展） team who can magic（魔法） up some amazing designs. They're magicians（魔术师）? No Anna, they're just developers（开发者） who make（使） things out of plastic（塑胶）.

  Thank you Tom. Look, why not go and have a chat（聊天） to them now and get the ball rolling? But we're not making balls. Oh come on Anna, I'll explain. See you Paul. To get the ball rolling（滚动）.

  He means to get the project moving along（向前）.
