1--Where is everyone? We were supposed to start fifteen minutes ago!
2--Jo called and said she’d be here in a sec. She said she got tied up with a client.
3--Sorry I’m late everyone. There was a huge traffic jam on the highway this morning.
4--Morning everyone! Were you stuck in traffic as well, Jess? There was a huge pileup on the highway and traffic was backed up for miles.
2--Scott just called and said that he’s running late. His last meeting ran over, but he’s on his way now.

1--人都在哪儿？我们原本十分钟前就应该开会！
2--Jo打电话来说她马上就到。她刚才一直忙于和顾客商议，走不开。
3--抱歉，我来晚了。今天早晨公路上塞车很严重。
4--大家早晨好。Jess,你们也遇到交通堵塞了？公路上堵车很李航，被堵的车辆有几公里长。
2--Scott打电话来说他将晚到一会儿。他最后一个会议开完了，现在正在路上。
1--同志们，这太令人无法接受了。如果我说十点开会，会议就应该再十点开。不是九点五十开，也不是十点十分开。好吧，我们现在就开始，我想说的第一件事是……
5--对不起。我知道我迟到了。但是这真不是我的错。我想在星巴克买杯咖啡，但是排队的人太多了。我等了20分钟才买到咖啡。
