Ewan: Who's running the videoconference next week?

尤恩：谁负责下周的视频会议?

Petra: I am. Desmond put me in charge of it last week.

彼特拉：我负责，德斯蒙德上周把它交给我，让我负责的。

Ewan: Oh, somebody's moving up in the world. It's nice that he's giving you more responsibility.

尤恩：喔，某人在这一直往上升职啊，他在把越来越多的重任交给你，这样很好。

Petra: Yeah, but I'm not sure I'm ready.

彼特拉：是啊，但是我不知道自己准备好了没有。

Ewan: I've set up conference calls and videoconferences before. Maybe you can tell me what you've already done and I can see if you've missed anything.

尤恩：我原来负责过电话会议和视频会议，也许你可以告诉我你现在已经准备好了什么，让我看看你是否有所遗漏。

Petra: That would be great. Okay, I've scheduled the meeting for 3:00...

彼特拉：那太好了。嗯，我把会议安排在3点……

Ewan: Stop right there. If the videoconference is at 3:00 here, it's already 6:00 on the East Coast. That's too late to start the meeting, don't you think?

尤恩：停，如果视频会议安排在我们这的3点，那么在东海岸已经6点，那时候开始会议就太晚了，你说呢?

Petra: Oh, I didn't factor in time zones! But I still have time to reschedule, I think, so it's not a total catastrophe.

彼特拉：哦，我没有考虑到时区!但我还有时间去重新安排。我感觉这并不是完全惨败。

Ewan: Good. Be sure to initiate the call or the connection at least 10 minutes before the time of the meeting, and make sure you know how to reconnect someone if they get disconnected during the meeting.

尤恩：很好，一定要在会议开始前十分钟发起呼叫或开始连接，来确保自己知道如果会议中间有人断线给如何重新联系。

Petra: I still need to figure that out.

彼特拉：我仍然需要弄清楚。

Ewan: Are you facilitating the meeting, too?

尤恩：你也参加这次会议吗?

Petra: I don't know. I guess so.

彼特拉：我不知道，我想应该是。

Ewan: In that case, make sure you identify each person by greeting them by name.

尤恩：那样的话，你要确保自己可以叫出每一个参会人员的名字。

Petra: I was hoping to lurk in the background in case something went wrong. I'd be ready to troubleshoot.

彼特拉：我原来一直希望自己可以藏在幕后，以防出了什么问题，我可以去排解故障。

Ewan: If Desmond put you in charge of setting up the meeting, he'll want you to take a more active part.

尤恩：如果德斯蒙德让你负责开始这个会议，那么他会希望你发挥更积极的作用的。

Ewan: What are you doing?

尤恩：你现在在做什么?

Petra: Hyperventilating. I don't think I'm ready for this.

彼特拉：深呼吸，我感觉我还没准备好。

Petra: I am. Desmond put me in charge of it last week.

Ewan: Oh, somebody's moving up in the world. It's nice that he's giving you more responsibility.

Petra: Yeah, but I'm not sure I'm ready.
