Jack: It's very good of you to see me at such short notice, Kamal.
卡马尔，你能在我临时求见情况下见我，真感谢你。
Kamal: Oh, that's all right.Sit down, Jack. Now, any word from Paul?
哦，没关系，请坐，杰克。现在，保罗有什么话吗？
Jack: Well, Tara said Paul was going to ring her last night, I'm on my way to the office now. I haven't seen Tara yet.
嗯，塔拉说，保罗昨晚要给她打电话，我现在正要去办公室。我还没见过塔拉。
Kamal: Yes. Well. If anyone can get a market for Jayal Motors. it's Paul. But this isn't a social call. is it. Jack?
是的。好。如果有人可以给贾亚尔摩托开发市场。这个人一定是保罗。但这绝不是一次社交拜访。是吗。杰克？
Jack: No. Well, it is business actually.
是的，对，这是生意。
Kamal: Oh. well. what can I do for you?
哦。好的。我能为你做什么？
Jack: Well. I heard from young Tim Hasram yesterday. He told me that Barratts had been overordering from the Manufacturers and withdrawn their extended credit from the retailers.
好的。我昨天从年轻的蒂姆·哈斯拉那里听到，他告诉我巴拉特已经从生产商那里过度订购。而且停止了他们零售商的延期付款。
Kamal: And I suppose you want to know if young Tim has got his facts right?
我想你一定想知道年轻的蒂姆是否说的是实情？
Jack: Well,yes.
嗯，对。
Kamal: It's good thing Barratts are not one of our clients, I wouldn't be able to discuss any details of their business if they were.
幸亏巴拉特不是我们的客户之一，否则，我是不能够讨论他们业务的任何细节的。
Jack:Yes. I do undersant that.
是的，我非常理解。
Kamal: However, I can tell you that I don't know the details of how Barratts got into this situation. but I do know that they have a large overdraft which their bank will probably have to limit.
但是，我可以告诉你，我不知道巴拉特是如何到这种状况的详情。但我知道他们有巨大的透支，他们的银行可能要必须限制他们了。
Jack: I see. So now that our competitors are running into a bit of trouble.we can concentrate more on this export business.
我懂了。所以，现在我们的竞争对手正在陷入一些麻烦。我们可以集中精力开展这个出口业务。
Kamal: Ah, yes, but a word of advice, Jack. Don't neglect the home market. There are other competitors and Barratts could quite easily make a quick recovery.
啊，是的，但一句忠告的话，杰克。不要忽视国内市场。因为还有其他竞争对手，而且巴拉特可以很容易地快速恢复。
Jack:No. I won't forget, Kamal. Ah, this is good news, It may encourage Tom to extend Paul's stay in Industria.
是的，我不会忘记的，卡马尔。啊，这是个好消息，它可能鼓励汤姆延长保罗在Industria的逗留时间。
Kamal: Well, just keep me in touch with any further developments.
好的，如果有任何最新进展请随时通知我。
Jack:Yes. of course.No doubt Paul's doing very well out there.
