Re-writing
A: These two sections need to be re-written, Jerry. The last guy that did this really mixed things up.
B: Yeah, I could tell that. That’s no problem. I can probably get it re-done by tomorrow. When’s our meeting with the boss?
A: Not until next week, I think, the 15th.
B: Then, we’ve got plenty of time.

重写方案
A:这两部分需要重写,杰瑞。上次办事的那个家伙弄得乱七八糟的。
B:是的,我看得出来。这没问题。我可能明天就能把它重写完。我们什么时候见老板?
A:我想得等到下星期,15号。
B:这么说我们还有的是时间。
