STUART: Elizabeth. Hello.
伊丽莎白，你好。
ELIZABETH: Stuart.
斯图尔特。
STUART: Could I just take a few moments to show you this short presentation I put together in regards to the Linderman Building.
我能占用你一小段时间给你展示一下这个我整理的简短的关于林德曼建筑的陈述吗？
ELIZABETH: Stuart. It looks very well-organized and well-prepared. But we are on the run we got to go, so tomorrow, perhaps?
斯图尔特。它看上去，组织有序，计划周详。但是我没时间很紧，也许明天怎么样？
STUART: It will actually just take a few minutes, I promise.
我保证，只需要几分钟。
ELIZABETH: Alright, you've got two minutes.
好吧，你有两份钟的时间。
STUART: Two minutes? Alright. 'The renovation of downtown Los Angeles and the purchase of the Linderman building'
两分钟？好吧。“洛杉矶闹市区的革新和林德曼建筑的购买。”
ELIZABETH: Yes, Stuart, we can both read.
是的，斯图尔特，你都可以看。
STUART: First let me give you a little bit of a background.
首先让我给你一点背景。
ELIZABETH: Hold on a second here. This is very cluttered and confusing, what am I supposed to be looking at?
稍等。这个是非常混乱和令人困惑的，我应该看一下吗？
STUART: Actually these are all iconic buildings located in downtown Los Angeles, but more specifically I want you to focus right here in the middle on the Walt Disney Concert Hall which was constructed back in two thousand, which started a multibillion dollar construction to renovate the downtown area. In fact, this is the budget for the city of Los Angeles, and if you look at Figure one, this is the budget for the city of Los Angeles in the year two thousand. Now the portion in red is the amount of money that was allocated towards the downtown Los Angeles area. If you look at figure two, this is Los Angeles' current budget. Now you can see that that number has significantly increased ever since then.
确切地说，在洛杉矶闹市区有很多标志性的建筑，但是更具体地说，我希望你能把注意力放在两千年建造的沃特·迪士尼会堂的中部区域。这是花费数十亿美元建造和革新的闹市区。事实上，这也是洛杉矶城的预算，如果你看图表一，这是用两千年洛杉矶城的预算建造的。现在红色的部分是分拨到洛杉矶闹市区区域资金。如果你看表二，这是洛杉矶现在的预算。你能看到的是从那时起数量显著地增加了。
STUART: Now by far this is the largest investment ever for the city of Los Angeles. Now their willingness to throw that much money at the renovation shows how serious they are about the project.
到目前为止，这是洛杉矶城最大的投资。现在他们愿意投入更多的钱在革新上，这显示出他们对于这个工程有多重视。
STUART: Are there any questions?
有什么问题吗？
ELIZABETH: No, Stuart it looks excellent, very nice presentation.
没有了，斯图尔特，它看上去很棒，陈述得不错。
STUART: Just a couple of minutes, please.
劳驾再耽误一点时间。
ELIZABETH: OK. One more minute.
好的，再多一分钟。
STUART: Moving on.
继续吧。
