MR. SMITH: Well, Yuri, tell me about it.
YURI: I m sorry I can’t bring better news, sir. The site is a disaster.
MR. SMITH: That s what I was afraid of.
YURI: It is not only the earthquake, sir. But the mudslides.
Much of the north half of the site has been covered over by mud.
MR. SMITH: Mud? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district.
I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango.
YURI: That s what we thought, sir. That’s what the news reported.
But there was one little mudslide in our district too. Right above our site.
MR. SMITH: Oh, that s terrible! What bad luck!
I wish we had never come to this country.
But, if it isn t the strikes and the revolutionaries, it’s the earthquakes.
Our operations here are finished!
YURI: I m sorry, sir.
MR. SMITH: It s not your fault, Yuri.
But tell me. When will Ivan be able to get out there?
YURI: Well, it took me about nine hours to get back here by car.
If Ivan leaves tonight, I think he should be there by tomorrow lunch.
MR. SMITH: Good. I want an estimate of damages as soon as possible.
YURI: But sir……
MR. SMITH: Yes, Yuri?
YURI: I wouldn t recommend sending Ivan now.
Especially not at night. The roads aren t safe.
MR. SMITH: Has the earthquake damaged the bridges too?
YURI: No, sir. The bridges are fine.
But I ve heard rumors that the revolutionaries are coming down from the mountains.
There has been fighting, sir.
MR. SMITH: Are you serious? Fighting? But I didn t hear anything on the news.
YURI: You know the government controls the press here, sir. They don t want it reported.
MR. SMITH: Oh, this is terrible, Yuri. Terrible!
So we can t even assess the damages. How can we do business in this country?
Either we re buried under mud, or we’re in danger of getting kidnapped.
No, I can t believe this mess!
YURI: I m sorry, sir.
MR. SMITH: You don t have to keep saying that, Yuri. It’s not your fault.
But me——I m the one who should be sorry.
It was me who suggested operations here in the first place! Oh, what can we do?
史密斯:嗯,尤里,告诉我怎么一回事。
尤里:我很抱歉我不能带来好一点的消息。工地的情况很糟糕。
史密斯:这就是我所担心的。
尤里:并不只是地震,还有塌方。
大部分在北半边的工地已被泥浆给掩埋了。
史密斯:泥浆?但艾文告诉我在那个区域没有塌方。
我以为所有的塌方都在 Chichitango.
尤里:那是我们认为的。新闻是那样报导的。
但只有一点塌方在我们的区域,就在我们工地的上方。
史密斯:喔,那真是太可怕了!真是运气不好!
我真希望我们从未来过这个国家。
如果不是罢工和群众运动,就是地震。
我们的运作要完蛋了!
尤里:我很抱歉。
史密斯:这并不是你的错,尤里。
但告诉我,艾文什么时候才能到达那里?
尤里:嗯,一共花了我九个小时从那里开回来。
如果艾文今晚动身,我想他应该可以在明天中饭左右到达。
史密斯:很好,我想尽快估计一下损坏情况。
尤里:但是先生……
史密斯:什么事,尤里。
尤里:我并不建议现在就派艾文去。
特别是在晚上,路上并不很安全。
史密斯:地震有破坏到桥吗?
尤里:没有,桥还很好。
但我听到一些谣传有关群众运动将会由山区游行。
已有打斗了。
史密斯:你是认真的吗?打斗?但我没有听到任何新闻报导。
尤里:你知道这里政府控制着媒体,他们不想被报导出来。
史密斯:喔,这太可怕了,尤里。太可怕了!
所以我们连评估损坏都不行。我们要如何在这个国家做生意呢?
我们不是被泥浆活埋,就是担心会遭到绑架。
不,我不能相信这个乱象!
尤里:我很抱歉。
史密斯:你不需要一直说抱歉,尤里。这并不是你的错。
但我……我才应该感到抱歉。
是我当初提议到这里来经营的。喔,我们该怎么办呢?
