aWe've got a problem...it looks like we'll need more spotlights on the exhibition booth. The client thinks it's too dark,and they want to add halogen lighting. We've already got 3 sets of track lighting from you guys,do you think you could help us out and throw in some halogens?
bOh...Um...I don't think so. you know the halogen lighting is much more expensive than your track lighting system. Plus I'm going to have to call in some guys to install it for you. That's not going to come cheap.
aBut it would only be adding to the existing structure. We're not talking about anything new here...
可是这只是在已有的构架上安装.我们并没有提出什么新的业务......
bIt doesn't matter because we will still have to call the electrician out, and they are union labor. It'll cost you a pretty penny....
跟那个没关系,因为我们还要召集电工,他们是工会的工人,你们得付不少钱...
aHow much do you think it would cost?
你认为我们得花多少钱?
bUmmm,I estimate it'll run in the neighborhood of ....$500 per light.
我估计加钱应该在...大约每个灯500美元.
a$500per light?!That's ridiculous!It can't possibly be that expansive!
一个灯500美元?!这太荒唐了!不可能有那么贵!
bIt is,I'll tell you why. We'll have to call in the electrician, he's going to charge overtime now because it's already 5PM, and it will probably take him an hour a light. Plus, the halogen lights take more electricity,so your electrical cost is going to be higher as well.
