Kathy: Seeing these blueprints really brings this project to life. I can now envision what this building will look like when it’s built. 
凯西：这些蓝图确实让这个项目鲜活地呈现眼前。现在我就能想象到大楼建成时的样子。
Brett: I’m really glad. As the architect on this project, it’s my job to turn your ideas into design. 
布莱特：我也很高兴。作为这个项目的建筑师，我的工作就是把你的想法变成设计。
Kathy: You did a great job. 
凯西：你的工作真了不起。
Brett: I had the help of the surveyors and a civil engineer, so I can’t take all of the credit. 
布莱特：我有测量员和土木工程师的帮助，因此我不能把功劳都揽到自己身上。
Kathy: We’re ready now to solicit bids from general contractors, don’t you think? 
凯西：我们已经准备从总承包商那儿招标，你认为怎么样？
Brett: These plans will give any contractor the specifications they need to give a detailed and accurate bid. There’ll be no problems with permits, I don’t think, because a similar structure was on this building siteabout 10 years ago before it was torn down. 
布莱特：这个项目会给任何一个承包商，他们需要提供详细、准确的投标计划。只要得到允许就没有什么问题，因为这片建筑工地上有相似的结构，10年前就拆掉了。
Kathy: I’m hoping not to run into any stumbling blocks, but you never know with a building project. I’ll know we’ve cleared the hurdles when I can bring in the interior designers! 
凯西：我希望不会有什么绊脚石，但是你永远不知道在建筑项目里会出现什么问题。我能带来室内设计师时，就会知道我们已经扫清障碍。
