Exercise 4
Act as an interpreter.
Grant: |
Now Mr. Duncan, what can I do for you? I understand that you’re a friend of Jock Macpherson’s. |
Дункан: |
Да, м-р Грант. Он сказал мне, что вы делаете самую лучшую и самую дешевую мебель на рынке. |
Grant: |
I think we make the best. |
Дункан: |
Но действительно ли она самая дешевая? Вот что меня интересует. |
Grant: |
We have a wide range of prices, Mr. Duncan. Here is our catalogue. We think our prices compare favourably with anything on the market today. |
Дункан: |
Если бы я хотел, чтобы вы оборудовали вашей мебелью мой офис, во что бы мне это обошлось? |
Grant: |
It would largely depend on the line you chose. |
Дункан: |
Моя проблема в том, что у меня очень мало времени. Вы могли бы продать мне мебель прямо со склада? |
Grant: |

How many offices are there? |
Дункан: |
Двадцать восемь. |
Grant: |
Twenty eight offices. Oh, I see. Well, how much time can you give us? |

Мой предел – два месяца. |
