商务英语口语对话 1:Faxes传真  

Dialogue one
M: Can you have the briefs from the Anderson firm's lawyer on my desk by tomorrow morning. There are quite a few very time sensitive matters with this case. I'm afraid I can't wait any longer.
F: Getting those Anderson briefs has been harder than you can imagine. I have tried to contact their lawyer many times. But every time I call
his secretary says he’s in a meeting or out of the office or away on business. I am beginning to think he is trying to avoid me.
M: That's highly possible. He knows if we miss our filing deadline
we don’t stand a chance to pete against them for the bid. Try to get a hold of him again. Give him a call and see if he can fax them first thing.
F: What if I can't speak to him directly?
M: Ask his secretary to fax them. Its the same thing. Have them faxed over with a copy also faxed to Martin’s office.
F: How do I find Martin’s fax number? Is he in your rollerdesk?
M: No
but you can also call their office and ask the secretary to give you their fax number. I’ll email you their office number later today.
F: Ok
I'll get on it first thing.
M: Be sure you do
I need those briefs ASAP
Dialogue o
M:Did you put this morning's faxes on my desk?I'm waiting for some urgent faxes from headquaters
I'm pretty sure they came in last night.
F:Evething that came in the office fax machine last night is all on your desk
but I noticed that some of faxes came through pretty blurred
maybe you take a look at them
if the copy is unreadble
I'll call then and ask them to refax.
M:Yeah
you're going to have to call them and get them to be refax. These copies are so dark. I can't make out any of the words.
F:What about that one?
M:This one?This one is so light and I can barely read it. How can that be?
F:You know
I think the fax machine is out of toner. I can change the toner cartridge. That should solve the problem.
M:Yes
but this one will have to be refaxed as well. And look
there's about 3 pages missing. It looks like the fax machine ate half of my important faxes
and ones that made it through are so blurred or too light. They are unreadable.
F:I guess the fax machine is out of paper too. Don't worry
I'll have someone look at it this afternoon
and in the meantime
I'll have your documents refaxed to our other fax machine.
