M: Susan, Is the manager in this office?

W: Yes. But he is meeting a client.

M: Oh, that's too bad. I just got a phone call saying that my wife is now in the hospital. She is going to deliver a baby. I must take the day off to go to the hospital. May I talk to him to ask for leave?

W: I am afraid not, but I think I could convey your leave to him after the client goes.

M: Oh, that's very kind of you. Thank you very much. I've got to go.

M：Susan，经理在办公室吗？

W：在，但是他在接待一位客户。

M：哦，那太糟糕了。我刚才接到了电话说我的爱人现在在医院，她就要生了，我必须请假去医院，我能向他请假吗？

W：恐怕不能，但是我想我可以等客户走了以后把你请假的事转达给他。

M：哦，你真是太好了。谢谢你，我得走了。
