Welcome back to English at Work, where Anna is very, well, very happy. You're in a good mood（心情）, Anna. Well, I'm just back from France, where everything went really well. It was quite an experience（经验）. Good（好的）. You got the contract（合同） for that big order.

  All you need to do now is to deliver（投递） what you've promised（允诺）. I know. Hello, Anna. Is Tom OK? He seems（ 似乎） really grumpy since（因为） he got back from France. He's fine.

  He just had to sleep on the sofa last night. Really? I'm sure that's not what he was planning. Now, did Paul mention（提到） he's got a new member of staff（工作人员） for you to meet this morning? No. Typical（典型的）.

  Well, she's coming up in the lift（电梯） with Paul now. Oh, so who is she? It's Rachel. Do you remember? She's the woman who Mr Socrates recommended（推荐）. He said she's brilliant（灿烂的） and, allegedly（据说）, one of his（他的） best employees（受雇者）.

  Oh, here she comes now. And this is our office. Ah（啊）, Anna, there you are. Did I mention before（ 在…之前） you went to France that Rachel is joining us for a while（一段时间）? No. Ah, well, here she is.

  This is Rachel. Hi. Hi, I'm Anna. I work（使工作） here as a sales（ 卖） executive（执行者）. I know. You're quite new, aren't you, yeah?

  Um, not that new. She's just won a great contract for us. Anyway（ 不管怎样）, looks like you two are going to get on like a house on fire. Anna, I'd like you to sort（种类） of work alongside（ 在旁边） Rachel. Alongside? Shouldn't I be in charge（费用）?

  Yes, it's just, you know, you're not familiar（熟悉的） with our office. And Anna is sort of across this new contract, so if you don't mind（介意）. OK, just for now.
