【正确答案】The two colleagues are discussing whether they can make the delivery to Tarrasco or not, or whether IBO will have to wait. They decide to deliver to Tarrasco first. The spare drivers will be able to make the delivery. Transcript

【答案解析】[解析] Man: Look, we can get the Tarrasco stuff out next Thursday. Send them a telex. Woman: But we just sent one, telling them the shipment would be sent nut today. Man: Yeah, yeah, I know, but the situation has changed now, hasn't it? Woman: Perhaps. Man: What do you mean, perhaps? Woman: Maybe we can still get Tarrasco's stuff out tomorrow, if the lorry is back from the Asado run. Man: Yes, but the drivers need some rest. I mean, you know, they'll have been out delivering for three days non-stop. You can't send them out again tomorrow. No. Send out a telex, as I said. I mean it would have been all right, but we've got to service IBO first. Their order has preference, you know. Woman: But I think IBO can wait, too, surely. They said they were holding Lip production for a week. Man: I know, but their order is all packed up and ready to go. Woman: But the Asado drivers can still rest and we'll send out the spare team. No problem. Man: Ah, do you think so? Woman: Yes, sure. Look, they'll be glad of the overtime and travel bonus. And we'll have the order there on time, just the same. And the day after tomorrow, we'll send the other team out again. Man: OK. Woman: They can do the IBO run, and a few other things I've got lined up in my in-tray here.
