Exercise 2

Act as an interpreter.
Бакхерст: А, Дональд

Donald Kennet: You wanted to see me, Mr. Buckhurst?

Бакхерст: Да, Дональд. У нас тут один вопрос. Он возник у аудиторов. Может быть, вы сможете помочь.

Kennet: Oh, yes. I certainly will if I can, sir.

Бакхерст: Вы обычно ходите по пятницам в банк обналичивать чеки персонала, да?

Kennet: Yes, Mr. Buckhurst.

Бакхерст: Не могли бы вы вспомнить, были ли случаи за последние несколько месяцев, когда бы вы туда не ходили?

Kennet: Er ... I was away for my holidays in the summer. I think that was the only time I didn't go.

Бакхерст: Да, это было в августе, так? А эта цифра, в которой он сомневается, относится к октябрю … и еще один случай в … июне.

Kennet: What occasion do you mean? What are you referring to?

Бакхерст: Аудитор обнаружил, что в этих двух случаях со счета было снято больше денег, чем положено на счет. Не могли бы вы объяснить, по какой причине?

Kennet: Er ... I'm sure I don't know why the amounts should be different. They should be exactly the same. Can I look at the bank statements?

Бакхерст: Конечно. Вот они.

Kennet: Thank you.

Бакхерст: А вот два приходных ордера о внесении платежей на эти даты. Оба заполнены вашей рукой, полагаю.

Kennet: Yes ... but I don't understand …

Бакхерст: Снятая сумма, согласно выписке с банковского счета, должна быть наличностью для выплаты персоналу, так как оба раза это были единственные суммы, снятые со счета. Вы не думаете, что вы каким-то образом могли потерять один из чеков, которые вы обналичивали?

Kennet: Look, I'm sorry, Mr. Buckhurst. I can explain it. I really was going to pay it back later. You see I ... my mother was ill and ...

Бакхерст: Почему вы не пришли ко мне и не попросили о помощи, если оказа-лись в беде? Или вы могли обратиться к начальнику отдела кадров. Мы могли бы устроить для вас выплату зарплаты авансом. Но это … это воровство.

Kennet: I didn't mean to steal it. I was going to pay it back. I intended to pay it back. I didn't mean to be dishonest, really I didn't …
