1--Good moming, Mr.Robinson. I am afraid there is a change in today's program. I just got word that your appointment with Mr. Smith, the general manager of Western Textile Co., Ltd., will have to be put off.
 
2--But why?
 
1--Mr.Smith called just now that he had to fly to Shanghai on urgent business today.
 
2--OK,I see.
 
1--Mr.Smith is sending his apologies and has asked me to find out if the day after tomorrow would be all right with you.
 
2--Yes, that will be just as good.
 
1--Then shall we make it nine o'clock the day after tomorrow morning?
 
2--All right. Then I can do some shopping today before going back to my country.

1--早上好，鲁宾逊先生。恐怕今天的计划有变。我刚得知您和西方纺织有限公司的总经理史密斯先生的约会被推迟了。
2--为什么呢？
1--刚才史密斯先生打电话过来说他今天必须得飞往上海处理紧急事务。
2--哦，知道了。
1--史密斯先生表示歉意，同时要我问一下您后天是否合适。
2--可以，后天也行。
1--那么，我们就定在后天上午9点，好吗？
2--好的，我正好可以借此机会在回国前买些东西。
