設計大樓英語聽力
Kathy: Seeing these blueprints really brings this project to life. I can now envision what this building will look like when it’s built.
凱西:這些藍圖確實讓這個專案鮮活地呈現眼前。現在我就能想象到大樓建成時的樣子。
Brett: I’m really glad. As the architect on this project, it’s my job to turn your ideas into design.
布萊特:我也很高興。作為這個專案的建築師,我的工作就是把你的.想法變成設計。
Kathy: You did a great job.
凱西:你的工作真了不起。
Brett: I had the help of the surveyors and a civil engineer, so I can’t take all of the credit.
布萊特:我有測量員和土木工程師的幫助,因此我不能把功勞都攬到自己身上。
Kathy: We’re ready now to solicit bids from general contractors, don’t you think?
凱西:我們已經準備從總承包商那兒招標,你認為怎麼樣?
Brett: These plans will give any contractor the specifications they need to give a detailed and accurate bid. There’ll be no problems with permits, I don’t think, because a similar structure was on this building siteabout 10 years ago before it was torn down.
布萊特:這個專案會給任何一個承包商,他們需要提供詳細、準確的投標計劃。只要得到允許就沒有什麼問題,因為這片建築工地上有相似的結構,10年前就拆掉了。
Kathy: I’m hoping not to run into any stumbling blocks, but you never know with a building project. I’ll know we’ve cleared the hurdles when I can bring in the interior designers!
凱西:我希望不會有什麼絆腳石,但是你永遠不知道在建築專案裡會出現什麼問題。我能帶來室內設計師時,就會知道我們已經掃清障礙。
