《The Report in the Recycling Bin》封面

Ines works as an intern at a busy office. Her job today is simple: sort old files for recycling.

伊内斯在一家繁忙的公司里做实习生。她今天的工作很简单:整理要回收的旧文件。

She empties one folder into a big bin. Papers, forms, and old notes fall inside. She grabs the next folder.

她把一个文件夹里的东西倒进一个大箱子。纸张、表格和旧笔记掉了进去。她又拿起下一个文件夹。

Something catches her eye in the bin. It is a form with a manager's signature line. The line is empty.

箱子里有样东西引起了她的注意。那是一份有经理签字栏的表格,签字栏是空的。

Ines picks the form back up. She reads the top of the page. It says "Vendor Contract - Needs Signature."

伊内斯把表格重新捡了起来。她读了读页面顶部,上面写着“供应商合同——需要签字”。

She checks the date on the form. The contract ends this Friday. Nobody signed it yet.

她查了查表格上的日期。合同本周五到期,还没有人签字。

Ines walks to her manager's desk. "I found this in the recycling," she says. "It still needs a signature."

伊内斯走到经理的办公桌前。“我在回收箱里发现了这个,”她说,“它还需要签字。”

Her manager looks at the paper. His face changes fast. "This is important," he says. "Thank you for checking."

经理看了看那张纸,脸色一下子变了。“这很重要,”他说,“谢谢你仔细检查。”

He signs the form right away. He sends it to the vendor before lunch.

他立刻签了字,午饭前就把它发给了供应商。

"Good catch, Ines," he says. "That was almost a big problem."

“发现得好,伊内斯,”他说,“这差点成了大问题。”

Ines returns to her desk. She checks every folder carefully after that.

伊内斯回到自己的座位。从那以后,她把每个文件夹都仔细检查一遍。
