STAN IS WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE

1--You're the only person who knows what really

happened.

2--That's not quite true. Stan Bailey was there,too.

3--Oh. Was he there? I didn't know that.

2--Well, actually, he wasn't there all the time, but

still I think he saw enough to give some valuable

insight on the matter.

1--Do you think I should call him? Would he be willing

to help?

2--No problem. You know Stan. He's the kind of

guy that's always willing to go the extra mile.

3--Hey. That's right. I remember one time when he

gave up two days of vacation just to help me out

with a problem I had.

1--That's good to know. I guess I'll give him a call

today, then.

译文：

1--你是唯一了解真情的人。

2--不完全是这样。斯坦.贝利当时也在场。

3--哦，他也在场?这我可不知道。

2--不过，说实在的，他没有自始至终都在那儿，但我

相信他所见到的足以提供一些有助于了解内情的真知灼见。

1--你看我是不是该给他打个电话?他会乐意帮忙吗?

2--没问题。你了解斯坦的为人。他是那种助人为乐的

热心人。

3--嘿，没错儿。我想起来了，有一次他牺牲了两天假期

帮我解决难题。

1--知道这就好了。我想我今天就给他打电话。
