001預約客戶之更改時間

Unable to keep appointment

A: Hello, Mark Owen speaking. Can I help you?

B: Hello, Mr. Owen. This is David Smith of International Trading Co. I'm sorry you missed me when you called my office this morning. My secretary said you called concerning our meeting next Wednesday?

A: Yes, Mr. Smith, thank you for returning my call. I'm glad to finally get a hold of you. I wanted to let you know I will not be able to keep our appointment next Wednesday. I will be in Shanghai that day. Is there any possiblity we can move the meeting to Tuesday?

B: I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm completely booked on Tuesday. Would it be possible to postpone until you return?

A: Well, I was counting on taking care of our meeting before I leave, but I suppose I could shuffle a few things. Yes, I'll be back Friday morning. What about Friday afternoon? Would that will be convenient for you?

B: That should be fine. Say about 2 o'clock. OK?

A: See you.

不能赴約

您好，我是馬克·歐文。有什麼事嗎？

您好，我是國際貿易公司的大衛·史密斯。很抱歉，您今天上午給我辦公室打電話時候我不在。我的秘書說您打電話問我們下週三見面的事，是嗎？

是的，史密斯先生，謝謝您給我回電話。很高興終於聯繫到您了。我想告訴您我下週三不能去赴約了。那天我要去上海辦事。有沒有可能把見面時間改到週二？

對不起，我週二的日程已經排得滿滿的了。能否延後，等您回來再說？

哦，我原來打算在離開之前處理好見面事宜，不過我想我可以重新安排一下。是的，週五早上回來。那週五下午怎麼樣？那個時候您方便嗎？

應該沒有問題。下午2點鐘如何？

再見。

“take care of sb/sth”有“照看，照料，照顧；負責某人/某事，處理某人/某事”的意思。

在這裡的意思是“處理某事”。

Eg. Mr. Smith takes care of marketing and publicity.
史密斯先生負責產品的銷售和推廣。

Her secretary took care of all her appointments.
