MR. SMITH: Well, Yuri, tell me about it.

  YURI: I´m sorry I can’t bring better news, sir. The site is a disaster.

  MR. SMITH: That´s what I was afraid of.

  YURI: It is not only the earthquake, sir. But the mudslides.

  Much of the north half of the site has been covered over by mud.

  MR. SMITH: Mud? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district.

  I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango.

  YURI: That´s what we thought, sir. That’s what the news reported.

  But there was one little mudslide in our district too. Right above our site.

  MR. SMITH: Oh, that´s terrible! What bad luck!

  I wish we had never come to this country.

  But, if it isn´t the strikes and the revolutionaries, it’s the earthquakes.

  Our operations here are finished!

  YURI: I´m sorry, sir.

  MR. SMITH: It´s not your fault, Yuri.

  But tell me. When will Ivan be able to get out there?

  YURI: Well, it took me about nine hours to get back here by car.

  If Ivan leaves tonight, I think he should be there by tomorrow lunch.

  MR. SMITH: Good. I want an estimate of damages as soon as possible.

  YURI: But sir……

  MR. SMITH: Yes, Yuri?

  YURI: I wouldn´t recommend sending Ivan now.

  Especially not at night. The roads aren´t safe.

  MR. SMITH: Has the earthquake damaged the bridges too?

  YURI: No, sir. The bridges are fine.

  But I´ve heard rumors that the revolutionaries are coming down from the mountains.

  There has been fighting, sir.

  MR. SMITH: Are you serious? Fighting? But I didn´t hear anything on the news.

  YURI: You know the government controls the press here, sir. They don´t want it reported.

  MR. SMITH: Oh, this is terrible, Yuri. Terrible!

  So we can´t even assess the damages. How can we do business in this country?

  Either we´re buried under mud, or we’re in danger of getting kidnapped.

  No, I can´t believe this mess!

  YURI: I´m sorry, sir.

  MR. SMITH: You don´t have to keep saying that, Yuri. It’s not your fault.

  But me——I´m the one who should be sorry.

  It was me who suggested operations here in the first place! Oh, what can we do?

  史密斯:嗯,尤里,告诉我怎么一回事。

  尤里:我很抱歉我不能带来好一点的消息。工地的情况很糟糕。

  史密斯:这就是我所担心的。

  尤里:并不只是地震,还有塌方。

  大部分在北半边的工地已被泥浆给掩埋了。

  史密斯:泥浆?但艾文告诉我在那个区域没有塌方。

  我以为所有的塌方都在 Chichitango.

  尤里:那是我们认为的。新闻是那样报导的。

  但只有一点塌方在我们的区域,就在我们工地的上方。

  史密斯:喔,那真是太可怕了!真是运气不好!

  我真希望我们从未来过这个国家。

  如果不是罢工和群众运动,就是地震。

  我们的运作要完蛋了!

  尤里:我很抱歉。

  史密斯:这并不是你的错,尤里。

  但告诉我,艾文什么时候才能到达那里?

  尤里:嗯,一共花了我九个小时从那里开回来。

  如果艾文今晚动身,我想他应该可以在明天中饭左右到达。

  史密斯:很好,我想尽快估计一下损坏情况。

  尤里:但是先生……

  史密斯:什么事,尤里。

  尤里:我并不建议现在就派艾文去。

  特别是在晚上,路上并不很安全。

  史密斯:地震有破坏到桥吗?

  尤里:没有,桥还很好。

  但我听到一些谣传有关群众运动将会由山区游行。

  已有打斗了。

  史密斯:你是认真的吗?打斗?但我没有听到任何新闻报导。

  尤里:你知道这里政府控制着媒体,他们不想被报导出来。

  史密斯:喔,这太可怕了,尤里。太可怕了!

  所以我们连评估损坏都不行。我们要如何在这个国家做生意呢?

  我们不是被泥浆活埋,就是担心会遭到绑架。

  不,我不能相信这个乱象!

  尤里:我很抱歉。

  史密斯:你不需要一直说抱歉,尤里。这并不是你的错。

  但我……我才应该感到抱歉。

  是我当初提议到这里来经营的。喔,我们该怎么办呢?
