《The Paper Delivery Delay》封面

Giselle planned a big print job for Friday morning. The office ordered extra paper on Monday. The delivery truck never came.

吉赛尔计划在星期五上午完成一项大型打印工作。办公室星期一订了额外的纸,送货卡车却一直没来。

She called the paper company at nine. "Your order is one week late," the worker said. Giselle's plan had a big problem now.

九点,她给纸业公司打了电话。“您的订单晚了一个星期,”工作人员说。吉赛尔的计划现在遇到了大麻烦。

She checked the supply closet quickly. Only one small pack of paper sat there. It was not nearly enough.

她很快查看了储物间。那里只有一小包纸,远远不够。

Giselle walked around the building and asked other floors. The marketing team had one full box extra. The design team offered half a box too.

吉赛尔在大楼里到处走,问其他楼层有没有。市场部多出了整整一箱,设计部也愿意给半箱。

She carried both boxes back to her desk. She counted the sheets one more time. It was just enough for the whole job.

她把两个箱子搬回自己的座位,又数了一遍纸张。刚好够整个工作用。

Giselle started the printer at ten sharp. Page after page came out clean and fast. She stacked them neatly into folders.

吉赛尔十点整启动了打印机。一页接一页的纸又干净又快地打了出来。她把它们整整齐齐地装进文件夹。

Her manager stopped by to check on the job. "I heard the paper never arrived," he said. "How did you manage?"

她的经理过来查看进度。“我听说纸没送到,”他说,“你是怎么解决的?”

"I borrowed paper from two other teams," Giselle said. "The job finished right on schedule."

“我从另外两个团队借了纸,”吉赛尔说,“工作正好按时完成了。”

"Great thinking," her manager said. He picked up a folder and smiled.

“想得好,”经理说。他拿起一个文件夹,笑了。

Giselle packed up the folders for the client meeting.

吉赛尔把文件夹打包好,准备参加客户会议。
