It's that time again for English at work. Life in the offices of Tip（小费 v.给....小费） Top（ 顶部） Trading is still hectic（脸上发红）. There's so much to do, and tomorrow the team is launching（发射） its new product, the plastic（塑料的） aubergine. So everyone needs to pull（拉） their weight（重量） and get things done, quickly. The problem is, some people are a bit（一点） slow at being quick. Could someone answer that please?

  I'm on the other line. I can't. I'm already（早已） on the phone. Yeah, talking to your friend Marge. I'm busy writing a business proposal（提议）. Could someone just answer that phone?

  Oh, you're all busy. I suppose（猜想） I'd better（好） do it. Hello? Yes. Really? I'm sorry about that.

  We'll send someone round（在周围） right away. Yes, this morning. Bye. Anna, are you free to talk in my office now? Yes, Paul. What's wrong?

  Hold（拿住） on, I just need a quick bite（ 咬） on a biscuit（(英)饼干）. Mmm, nice butter. Now, that was nice and cheesy. They're not happy about how slowly（缓慢地） we are processing（加工） their order. They need our plastic grapes for an exhibition（展览） they're doing at the weekend. But I thought Tom had sorted（整理） that out.

  Clearly（明白地） not. I need you to pull out all the stops and sort this out. Pull out what stops? I mean, do all you can to get this order completed. Please. But we've got the opportunity（机会） in lunch tomorrow.

  Leave that to me and Denise to organise（ 组织）.
