STAN IS WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE

1--You're the only person who knows what really
happened.
2--That's not quite true. Stan Bailey was there,too.
3--Oh. Was he there? I didn't know that.
2--Well, actually, he wasn't there all the time, but
still I think he saw enough to give some valuable
insight on the matter.
1--Do you think I should call him? Would he be willing
to help?
2--No problem. You know Stan. He's the kind of
guy that's always willing to go the extra mile.
3--Hey. That's right. I remember one time when he
gave up two days of vacation just to help me out
with a problem I had.
1--That's good to know. I guess I'll give him a call
today, then.

1--你是唯一了解真情的人。
2--不完全是这样。斯坦.贝利当时也在场。
3--哦，他也在场？这我可不知道。
2--不过，说实在的，他没有自始至终都在那儿，但我
相信他所见到的足以提供一些有助于了解内情的真知灼见。
1--你看我是不是该给他打个电话？他会乐意帮忙吗？
2--没问题。你了解斯坦的为人。他是那种助人为乐的
热心人。
3--嘿，没错儿。我想起来了，有一次他牺牲了两天假期
帮我解决难题。
