英语口语每年会进行两次考试，相比较枯燥漫长的四六级备考练习而言，四级口语的趣味性要更多一些，虽然下半年口试时间为11月21日—22日。但是口语的练习对于四六级备考也有很大的帮助作用，抓紧练习吧!

　　工作中推脱的借口

　　A) A list of the typical excuses for not being done on time:

　　My dog ate the report. Oh, you needed that this week? You're not the boss of me. Put it on the pile, I'll get to it whenever.

　　一些在未能及时完成工作时常用的借口：我的狗把报告吃了。噢，你这星期就需要呀? 你不是我的老板。把它放在那堆文件上，我总是会做的。

　　B) A list of promises to do better: It won't happen again. I'll get right on it. That was a special case, I assure you. It will be on your desk before you know it.

　　一些要改过的承诺：这种事不会再发生了。我马上就做。我向你保证，那是特殊情况。很快就把它放到您办公桌上。Diologue

　　Molly : Do you have the report finished?

　　Gordon: I finished it yesterday, but my dog ate it.

　　Molly : Excuses, excuses. How about the weekly newsletter, is that done?

　　Gordon: Sorry to say a virus erased my hard drive.

　　Molly : You must be kidding? I am fed up with your poor work habits.

　　Gordon: I'll re-do it ASAP.

　　Molly : While you are re-doing that, I need another copy of the monthly numbers, this paper is blank.

　　Gordon: That's because the printer is on the blink. Some times it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

　　Molly : So many excuses. Are you slacking off in the office?

　　Gordon: Of course not.

　　Molly : How about the time I caught you sleeping?

　　Gordon: It won't happen again, I promise.

　　Molly : Well, get back to work.

　　Gordon: I'll get those reports on your desk ASAP.

　　莫莉：你的报告完成了吗?

　　戈登：我昨天就做完了，可是我的狗把它吃掉了。

　　莫莉：借口，借口。那每周的电子杂志呢，做完了吗?

　　戈登：不好意思，病毒把我硬盘的文件弄没了。

　　莫莉：你一定是在开玩笑吧?我受够了你差劲儿的工作习惯。

　　戈登：我会尽快重新做。

　　莫莉：你重新做的时候，再给我做一份每月的数据，这张纸是空的。

　　戈登：那是因为打印机坏了，有的时候能用，有的时候不能用。

　　莫莉：这么多的借口，你是不是在办公室偷懒呀?

　　戈登：当然不是。

　　莫莉：那我发现你睡觉的事怎么解释?

　　戈登：我保证，这种事不会再发生了。

　　莫莉：好吧，回去工作吧。

　　戈登：我会尽快把那些报告放在你的桌子上。
