塔尼亚：你几点和泰德会面?

　　James: It’s at 3:00. Why?

　　詹姆斯：三点，怎么了?

　　Tania: You don’t seem worried. If I were being accused of misconduct and up for disciplinary action, I’d be on edge.

　　塔尼亚：你看起来担心啊。要是我被控行为不端，还要受纪律处分，我会坐立不安的。

　　James: It was a minor offense. I’m sure I’ll just get a slap on the wrist.

　　詹姆斯：那是个小过错。我想也就是得个警告。

　　Tania: I heard about it and it didn’t sound that minor.

　　塔尼亚：我听说那可不是小错啊。

　　James: People blow things out of proportion. It’s not like I’ll be up for dismissal or anything.

　　詹姆斯：那是因为人们爱添油加醋。还没到会被解雇的地步呢。

　　Tania: I hope not, but you might get a written reprimand placed in your personnel file. That could affect your chances for a raise or promotion.

　　塔尼亚：但愿如此，可是你的人事档案里会留下一份书面警告。这会影响你加薪和晋升的机会的。

　　James: I don’t have much of a chance of getting either one, quite frankly, so why sweat it? I’ll deal with whatever punishment I get.

　　詹姆斯：说实在的，我没多少加薪 的机会，也没有晋升的机会，那我还担心什么呢?不管是什么惩罚，我都能接受。

　　Tania: I’m glad that’s your attitude.

　　塔尼亚：你这么想我就放心了。

　　James: What I say is: Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time!

　　詹姆斯：依我说，没本事就别干，干了就别怕。

　　Tania: What time is your meeting with Ted?
