 One friend is telling the other about his busy schedule. 


一个人在告诉他的朋友他有多忙。 
 
A: Hi, Kim. How’s it going? I’ve got a problem. 
 
 
B: What’s bothering you Stone? You look stressed 1
 
 
A: I always bite off more than I can chew 2. I agreed to speak at an international conference 3 in Shanghai next Monday. Now I won’t be able to do it. 
 
 
B: Why not? What happened? 
 
 
A: I’m going to Beijing that day. I have an important speech and TV interview there. I forgot all about it. I don’t have the heart to tell the conference now. It’s the second time I’ve done this. How can I save face? I feel terrible. 
 
 
B: Don’t worry about it. They’d have to search high and low to find a better speaker. And they know it. They need someone who can speak good English and Chinese. 
 
 
A: Thank you. But I doubt that. I’m sure they’d prefer someone who keeps his word. I’ve got to talk to my assistant. He’s always messing up my schedule! 
 
 
B: Forget it. They know you’re not leading them on. They’ll ask you again, I’m sure. These things happen. You’re a busy guy. 
 
 
A: Thanks for saying that, Kim. I feel a lot better. 
 
 
B: That’s what friends are for. Besides, I’m sure it’s not easy being so famous!
