Elementary ‐ The Office ‐ Out Of Control Spending(C0013)
A: OK, so now the last point on our agenda. Jill, let’s go over the profit and loss statement.
B: Great. Well, the main issue here, as you can see,is that our expenses are through the roof.
A: Let’s see... These numbers are off the charts! What’s going on here!
B: Well, um, sir, the company expenditures on entertainment and travel are out of control. Look at these bills for example. Just this month we’ve paid over twenty thousand dollars for hotel charges!
A: OK, thank you. I’ll look into it.
B: The list goes on and on. Here, this is a bill for five thousand dollars for spa treatments!
A: Thank you; that will be all. I’ll take care of it.
B: Look at this one sir, eight thousand dollars were expensed in one night at a place called “Wild Things”?!
A: OK, I get it! Thank you for your very thorough analysis!
A:好啦，现在我们看看议程上最后一点。吉尔，咱们过一下损益报表。
B:好的，正如你所看到的的那样，最大的问题在于我们的开支太高了。
A: 让我看看...费用超支得太多了！这怎么回事？
B:嗯，超支的费用主用在招待费和差旅费这两项上。看看这些报销单，光就这个月，咱们就花了两万块在住宿费用上。
A:好的，谢谢，我会调查清楚。
B:这些报销单真是没完没了。你看，这张，五千块的水疗保养。
A:好的，谢谢。就到这儿吧，我会处理的。
B:看，这张。八千块一晚的“野兽”，这是啥鬼？！
A:好的，我理解了！谢谢你剖析得如此透彻！
