Grace：We're going to have a problem meeting the budget for the production of our new sound board.
葛蕾絲：大家撥給新聲卡商品的預(yù)算會有問題。
Lester：How much of a problem？
萊司特：問題有多緊急？
Grace：Well, it seems that we underestimated the cosplayts. According to the factory, it will cosplayt about eight percent more than initially1 projected.
葛蕾絲：看樣子大家好像低估了本錢。依據(jù)制造廠家的說法，本錢會比原先計(jì)劃的還高出百分之八。
Lester：Let me see . . .Looking at this, if my calculations are correct, we are about three thousand dollars over budget？
萊司特：我看看看這情況，倘若我算得沒錯，大家大約比預(yù)算多出了三千美金。
Grace：That's right. It's going to cosplayt about three thousand more to complete the first order.
葛蕾絲：是的。大約要多花三千元來完成第一批訂單。
Lester：I see
萊司特：我了解了
Grace：But if sales go as well as they should, that's still well within our profit margin2. Proceeds from sales of the first order will easily cover the cosplayt of the second order.
葛蕾絲：不過倘若銷售情況有應(yīng)有些表現(xiàn)，那就仍在大家的獲利范圍之內(nèi)。第一批定單的營收將會比較容易就抵過第二批定單的本錢。
Lester：In other words, you only need a budget increase for the first order.
萊司特：換句話說，你僅需增加第一批定單的預(yù)算。
Grace：Exactly. After that, the product should finance itself.
葛蕾絲：完全正確。之后，商品本身就能獲利，無需再增加預(yù)算。
Lester：OK. Well, you know, all major budget decisions must be approved by our CEO and the financial officer.
萊司特：好的，你了解，所有主要的預(yù)算決策需要總裁及財(cái)政主管的批準(zhǔn)。
Grace：Yes, I know. But I thought that if I could get your support first, it might make getting approval easier.
葛蕾絲：是的，我了解。只不過我感覺假如我能先獲得你的支持或許會很容易得到批準(zhǔn)。
Lester：Well, you've got my support on this. I'll see what I can do to get the TOP brass3 to agree.
萊司特：嗯，你已經(jīng)得到我的支持了。我會看看有哪些辦法可以讓高層主管贊同
