B: Didn't you hear about that? Our meeting was prosponed until Friday.
A: what? The meeting was prosponed? No one told me anything about it.
B: didn't you get the Memo?
A: what memo? There haven't been any memos this whole week. I check my inbox every day
and I haven't seen anything.
B: the memo went out three days ago. It should have made it to your in-box
but maybe it got lost in all the clutter on your desk.
A: you know how things get piled up on my desk when I am busy—I know that sometimes I do misplace things
but I always read all the memos that go around. They go directly to my in-box. Are you sure it was sent to the whole office?
B: it should have gone around to everybody. They also posted a copy of the memo in the break-room. Don't you ever look at the messages posted on the bulletin board?
A: I'm usually too busy to take a bunch of coffee breaks and gossip by the water cooler. Anyway
I am sure the memo never got to my in-box. I'll have to talk to our secretary about it.
B: that's right. You never know what you're missing out if you don't read the memos.
我在會議室已經等了10分鐘了.會議什麽時候開始?其他人都在哪兒?
妳沒聽說嗎?會議推到周五了.
什麽?會議推遲了?沒有人告訴我啊.
妳沒有看到備忘錄嗎?
什麽樣的備忘錄?整個這壹周我也沒見過什麽備忘錄。每天我都查看收文藍，什麽也沒看見。
備忘錄是3天前發出去的，應該放進妳的收文藍了，但也可能夾在妳辦公桌上那堆亂七八糟的東西裏面。
妳也知道我忙時桌上的東西會堆成山—我也清楚有時我會把東西放錯地方，但所有發下來的備忘錄我都會看的。這些備忘錄都會直接放進我的收文藍。妳肯定所有的辦公室都發了嗎？
應該發給所有人了。他們還在休息室貼了壹張備忘錄的復印件。妳也沒看到布告欄上貼的信息嗎？
我總是忙的顧不上喝咖啡休息壹下，或是水冷卻器旁跟人閑聊。不管怎樣，我肯定我的收文藍裏沒有備忘錄。我要去找秘書談談。
好吧。如果不讀這些備忘錄的話，妳永遠也不會知道自己還遺漏了什麽信息.
