新東方商務口語[52]:廣告細節問題

Victor: Look, we have to hammer out these details by the 15th at the latest.
聽好了，我們最遲得在15號前敲定這些細節問題。

Phil: You guys never leave us enough time. It will take at least two weeks just to get the storyboard written up. And that’s just beginning. Then we have to plan the shots, hire actor, and do some rehearsAls. Your schedule doesn’t leave us enough time!
你們總不給我們充分的時間。至少要花兩週的時間來寫情節圖。這還是個開頭。然後我們的設計鏡頭，僱演員，還要彩排。你的時間表給我們的時間不夠。

Victor: We are under the gun ourselves. It’s not my deadline you have to meet. This comes straight from the top.
我們的壓力也很大。這不是我的期限。這是上層的意思。

Phil: You mean CEO Rob Lee?
你是說首席執行官Rob Lee?

Victor: The one and only!
除了他還有誰？

Phil: All right. I’ve already got some actors in mind. Our advertising agency will just have to come up with a theme for the advertising campaign by tomorrow instead of next week.
好吧。我已經想好演員了。我們的廣告代理公司明天就要拿出廣告的主題，不能等到下週了。

Victor: Right. Then you can crank out the storyboard the next day, and have a script written up right away.
好的。你後天就可以把情節圖板給製作出來，劇本也可以立刻寫出來。

Phil: And the photo studio is always ready to roll at any time, so once that’s done we’re nearly there.
攝影棚隨時可用，設置一旦完成，我們差不多就搞定了。
