Jacob talks to Katharine about her mistake.
雅各與凱薩琳談論她的錯誤。

J: Hi, Katharine. I wanted to talk to you about this research for the website. You did a great job getting a lot of information, and I appreciate the accessible format you put it into. There's one problem, though. I think somewhere you must have misread the amount we'd budgeted for designers.
凱薩琳，我要跟妳談談有關這網站的調查。蒐集資訊方面妳做得很好，我很欣賞妳使用便於理解的格式。不過有個問題，那就是妳弄錯我們請設計師的預算。

K: Oh dear, really?
哎呀，真的嗎？

J: Yes, so it looks like almost all the designers you turned up are going to be out of our range.
是的。所以妳找的設計師幾乎都超過我們的預算。

K: I can't believe I did that! I'm so sorry.
真不敢相信我弄錯了！真的很抱歉。

J: It's OK, just please be careful in the future. This research will be relatively easy to redo, but on other projects it might not be.
沒關係，以後注意點就好了。這次調查要重做相對來說比較容易，但其他專案就不見得了。

K: I understand. It won't happen again.
我明白，以後不會再發生了。

J: I'm sure it won't. Don't worry about it too much; we all make mistakes. Just remember, always check dates, amounts, and numbers first. They're the most important things to get right!
我知道不會。我們都會出錯，別太放在心上。只要記住要先檢查日期、數量跟數目，那是最重要的部分，一定要正確才行！

K: I'll remember. Now, I guess I should get back to work on this research.
我會記住的。我想我現在應該回去繼續完成調查了。

J: That's right—get back on the horse!
沒錯，從頭開始吧！
