Maria : OK. Let's start. Let's see pictures from the fast-food restaurant. 好吧, 我们开始吧。先来看看从快餐店拍的镜头。
Jake: I have them here. 我找到了。
Maria : Wait. Where's my script? 等等, 我的脚本在哪儿?
Jake: I handed the script to you this morning. 早上我把脚本给你了。
Maria : No, you didn't. 没有, 你没给我。
Jake: Yes, I did. I handed you the script before this meeting. 不对, 我给你了。开会前我就给你了。
Maria : Then where is it? 那么它在哪儿呢?
Jake: Look in your bag. 在你包里找找。
Maria : Oh. Here it is. I guess you did give it to me. . You haven't finished the story. 噢, 在这儿。我想你确实是给我了......你还没有做完新闻呢。
Jake: No, I haven't. I've been busy with something else. I've worked on it for three hours, and it's still not right. 是的, 我没有做完。我在忙别的事。我已经干了三个小时,但还是不够好。
Maria : Tell me about it. We'll look at the pictures. 跟我说说吧。我们再看看拍的镜头。
Jake: We're talking about efficiency. Why pour one soda for one customer, when you can pour five sodas for five customers? 我们在讨论效率问题。当你可以为五个顾客倒五杯苏打水时, 却为什么只为一个顾客倒一杯水呢?
Maria : That's a good picture. 画面不错。
Jake: The cashier hits one button. This gives the order to the cook. . . Another person gets the drinks for the customer. Then she puts the food into a bag. 收银员按下一个按钮, 这就把订单传给厨师...... 另一个人为顾客准备饮料。然后她把食物放进袋里。
The result is lower cost and fast food. They fixed this meal for me in three minutes. It only cost $4. 00. People like it. Add it all up and it's a billion dollar business. 结果是成本低, 服务快。他们在三分钟内为我准备好了食物, 仅用四美元。人们喜欢这种方式。积少成多, 这就出现了一个10 亿美元的行业!
