白領的一天 場景143:Anna's decision 安娜的決定
Narrator: Hello again and welcome back to English at Work - the drama about life at the plastic fruit production company called Tip Top Trading. You may remember Anna, the company's newest and brightest sales executive, was offered a promotion and a marriage proposal at the same time. She's taken time out to think about her reply but everyone in the office really misses her.
Tom: (Pouring his heart out) I dunno Denise, I'd be good for Anna, I think we would be been a perfect pair. Mr and Mrs Darcy… it sounds good…

Anna: I'm back!
Tom: Anna! I…we weren't expecting you.
Anna: Yes I can see – perhaps you could tidy up your desk Tom.
Tom: Very funny Anna – still trying to be the boss! So did you have a good trip? Did you get some 'head space'?
Anna: Eh?
Narrator: He means time alone to think about the things you want to think him you've been chewing things over – it means you've been thinking about your proposals and say I have come to a final decision.
Anna: OK, well it's true; I have done a lot of thinking. (To Tom) Tom, I did have some head space and a chance to… chew things over…
Tom: Yes! Yes! And?
Anna: And I've come to a final decision. The answer is 'yes'. I accept. There's no doubt really… I should give it a go… I need the experience… and besides, what's the worst thing that can happen?
Tom: Oh Anna. I'm so happy. You won't regret your decision.
