史蒂夫:早上好,邁克。周末過的如何?
Mike: I had a relaxing weekend. How about you?
邁克:很放松,你呢?
Steve: I studied all weekend for a business exam. What do you think the most vital thing for any company is?
史蒂夫:我用整個周末來學習,以應付商業(yè)考試。你認為對一個公司來說什么是最重要的事情?
Mike: That's easy - a good coffee machine and mufti Fridays.
邁克:太容易了——是好的咖啡機和星期五便裝日!
Steve: I cannot believe how wrong you are there my friend. The most important thing is profit. Without profit, the company will eventually close.

邁克:這我知道。我剛才說咖啡機和便裝日只是說著玩兒的。
Steve: Business is serious Mike, not to be fooled with.

Mike: Wow - you make it sound like a matter of life and death.
邁克:哇塞—你怎么說的跟生死攸關似的?
Steve: No Mike - it's much more important than that!
史蒂夫:不,邁克,它比生死攸關還重要呢!
