【kaka礼节美语】167 来了台风，停了飞机 2

听力简介：

老板Tom的班机因为台风来袭而停飞，从机场打电话给秘书Susan布置工作。

Tom: And if you don't mind, call our factory in China and see if things are OK there. ---1---.

S: Sure thing, boss.

T: I'll tell you what, ---2---, good?

S: Absolutely. Good luck and stay safe!

T: Thanks, Susan.

(Hang up phone sound)

Tom让Susan打电话给公司设在中国的工厂，看看那里有没有发水，还说自己一小时后再打电话给Susan, "We'll touch base again," 相互通报一下情况。 To touch base意思是碰头，联络，交换一下最新情况。Susan说sure thing，意思是没问题。

(Phone ringing)

T: Oh, hello Susan. I thought we said we'd wait an hour.

S: I just got off the line with the factory and it's flooding pretty bad down there. They said the water has almost reached half a meter!

T: Darn it! I thought we'd solved the flooding problem. Tell them to ---3--- and see if they can't use sandbags to stop any more water coming in.

结果没到一小时，Susan就心急火燎地打电话给Tom. 原来是Susan刚刚got off the line with the factory，跟工厂联系刚挂上电话，get off the line，是挂电话的意思。Tom担心得一点没错，工厂果然在发水，已经快半米高了。Tom让他们赶紧把precision machinery，精密仪器搬到楼上去，然后用sandbags，沙袋，想办法把水堵在外面。

S: Ok. There are a couple of people from the head office there. ---4---.

T: The last time it flooded we lost one of our production lines for almost three weeks! We can't afford that again. ---5---!

S: Will do. What about your flight? Any word?

T: Not yet...oh, wait a second...they are announcing something about my flight...I'll call you right back.

S: Ok.

(Sound of phone hang up)

Susan说，总部head office有几个人正在工厂那边，可以让他们负责to take charge，尽量减少损失。Tom说，上次发水公司就有一条生产线停工将近三个星期，We can't afford that again，我们再也承受不起这样的损失了。所以tell them to spare no effort...，告诉他们想尽一切办法，坚决不能让水进到车间里去。

Susan最后问Tom的班机有没有消息。 Any word? 相当于is there any word on your flight? Word，在这里是消息的意思。Tom说，他们好象正在宣布什么，所以就先挂了电话，Tom的工厂会受到严重损失吗？我们下次继续听。
