(Coming in) Hello. Oh, it's you. Hello, this is Room 563. Can I help you?
(走进来）你好。哦，是你。你好，这里是563室。有什么事情吗？
But I was in this room just now. It's Room 365. No, it's Room 563. Look, it says ROOM 563 on the wall.
可我刚才就在这个房间，这是365室。不是，这是563室。看，墙上写着“563室”。
Can I help you? I'd like a PM624, please. Good, good. Do sit down.
有什么事情吗？请给我一张PM624表格。好的，好的。请坐。
(Sitting down) But I don't understand! Well, you see, I'm doing the work of two people. I work in Room 365 and Room 563.
(坐下）可是我不明白！好吧，你看到了，我在做两个人的工作。我在365室和563室办公，
So I put the two rooms together. It's easier for me. Oh, I see. Well, can I have a PM624, please?
所以我把这两个房间合并了。这样我比较方便。哦，我明白了。好吧，能给我一张PM624表格吗？请稍等。
Excuse me a minute. (Telephoning) Hello, Tom, Pam again. Yes, I'm going to be home soon. OK. See you soon. Goodbye, darling!
（打电话）喂，汤姆，还是我，帕姆。对，我很快就要回家了。好，一会儿见。再见，亲爱的！
Can I have my PM624 now, please? Let me see. It's for this monkey, is it?
现在能给我PM624表格吗？让我看看。是给这只猴子的，对吗？
Yes, that's right. Is it a working monkey? It doesn't do any work, no. It lives in my house.
对，没错。是只要工作的猴子吗？不是，它不工作。它住在我家里。
That's OK then, because for a working monkey the PM624 is no good at all.
那就好，因为PM624表格对要工作的猴子无效。
(Angrily) Now look, are you going to give me that PM624 or not?
(生气地）行了，你到底给不给我PM624表格？
I arrived here half an hour ago. First you told me to get a ticket, no, two tickets.
我半个小时之前就来了。你先是叫我去取一个号，不对，是两个号。
Everybody needs a ticket. That's the rule.
谁都得有号。这是规定。
(More angrily) Then you asked for eight photos. Then you told me to leave the room and come back again.
(愈发生气）接着你又要八张照片。然后你又让我从这个房间出去又回来。
To a different room. Room 563. Now you're asking, is it a working monkey?
是让你去另一个房间，563室。现在你又问这是不是一只有工作的猴子？
And all the time you phone your friend Tom and talk about dinner and the cinema and...
这同时你一直在给你的朋友汤姆打电话，聊吃饭、看电影，还有......
He begins to cry. I don't make the rules. I only work here, you know.
他哭了起来。规定不是我定的。你知道，我只是在这里工作。
(Feeling better) Yes, I know. I'm sorry. Can I have the PM624 now, please?
(感觉好一些）是的，我知道。对不起，现在能给我PM624表格了吗？
Wait a minute. What's the time? (Looking at his watch) One minute past five. Why?
稍等，现在几点了？(看了看表）五点过一分。怎么了？
Oh dear! This office closes at five. Can you come back tomorrow? Aaaaargh! (He runs off, crying.)
哦，天哪！这间办公室五点关门，你能明天再来吗？啊——（他哭着跑了出去。）
