  MR. SMITH: Well, Yuri, tell me about it.7 o- ?5 O# M' a9 O5 y2 H
  YURI: I'm sorry I can’t bring better news, sir. The site is a disaster.9 [" P0 X' {6 a6 h& n
  MR. SMITH: That's what I was afraid of.
( Y. P! t. f% k* @( I  YURI: It is not only the earthquake, sir. But the mudslides.7 {1 z8 a( m, w9 ?
  Much of the north half of the site has been covered over by mud.
2 W. M! q" H1 W0 E5 J  MR. SMITH: Mud? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district.; E9 u6 ^; y1 q6 u/ |/ @" s
  I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango.
% L5 s6 B1 ^- o) J8 w4 V  YURI: That's what we thought, sir. That’s what the news reported.; L! v+ M% d9 k2 Q8 }9 ]7 \& a, k
  But there was one little mudslide in our district too. Right above our site.
1 d- T$ P; n) E4 E  MR. SMITH: Oh, that's terrible! What bad luck!
2 w" A0 b6 F& P/ Q! g  I wish we had never come to this country.

  Our operations here are finished!! e- a8 E  f' W( Q! d8 r0 ~! f

  YURI: Well, it took me about nine hours to get back here by car., }9 R- z' ~, j
  If Ivan leaves tonight, I think he should be there by tomorrow lunch.

  MR. SMITH: Yes, Yuri?) p% _6 \/ v) j; e, z$ k
  YURI: I wouldn't recommend sending Ivan now.
4 M! v) L* P5 _4 O1 i, ]$ \1 @  Especially not at night. The roads aren't safe.
. m4 W1 g" Z3 a5 s3 ^  MR. SMITH: Has the earthquake damaged the bridges too?  F3 z4 \5 c8 p* P7 ^, w
  YURI: No, sir. The bridges are fine.' ], B3 y0 n3 R6 |, @# w1 e
  But I've heard rumors that the revolutionaries are coming down from the mountains.

  MR. SMITH: Oh, this is terrible, Yuri. Terrible!' y; }" b  ?: ^4 s
  So we can't even assess the damages. How can we do business in this country?( G) q  O. z" D# k8 Z
  Either we're buried under mud, or we’re in danger of getting kidnapped.' a8 c2 o0 N* z0 R5 @* _0 H! I9 D. a

+ c- d3 s: t- [# @7 r! n+ A" a  It was me who suggested operations here in the first place! Oh, what can we do?4 T9 f/ ^6 s# k
  史密斯:嗯,尤里,告诉我怎么一回事。1 R' x6 o, B6 l, K' s4 `& j
  尤里:我很抱歉我不能带来好一点的消息。工地的情况很糟糕。3 H# {/ Z* M5 z; [: C+ S2 }
  史密斯:这就是我所担心的。
3 e+ w3 V  ]4 f4 d  尤里:并不只是地震,还有塌方。) O4 u7 A- O2 n% d4 i- o; {7 u, c
  大部分在北半边的工地已被泥浆给掩埋了。8 I9 v" e8 C  v, A( b9 L
  史密斯:泥浆?但艾文告诉我在那个区域没有塌方。( h5 N; K. A9 L# D  e
  我以为所有的塌方都在 Chichitango.
. e2 u2 s- a, a$ k  尤里:那是我们认为的。新闻是那样报导的。
% E' O6 u  S3 p+ y2 g( u  但只有一点塌方在我们的区域,就在我们工地的上方。2 Q. U0 {# F( U, C7 T- h
  史密斯:喔,那真是太可怕了!真是运气不好!$ A+ u- r) u# q6 G4 v# Z8 Y- s- F
  我真希望我们从未来过这个国家。7 W& S" r! I# |6 C' ?
  如果不是罢工和群众运动,就是地震。0 z* [5 D" D6 @7 P& @
  我们的运作要完蛋了!
* a) i2 N+ h$ c, i6 J4 C' x  尤里:我很抱歉。5 O, O, ]4 f' n4 l% t
  史密斯:这并不是你的错,尤里。2 u5 {, M! G' }: Z- R$ n
  但告诉我,艾文什么时候才能到达那里?
7 P$ Y  G0 F% q; |- w2 j" {  尤里:嗯,一共花了我九个小时从那里开回来。
( V# g8 e2 ]# j  如果艾文今晚动身,我想他应该可以在明天中饭左右到达。
$ x, p# C1 O. c6 e; d$ t  史密斯:很好,我想尽快估计一下损坏情况。0 @1 R4 ?& }/ O
  尤里:但是先生……
- x& I- z9 Z  v  史密斯:什么事,尤里。' d0 H  V- l8 |7 {, z
  尤里:我并不建议现在就派艾文去。
  t% d6 \3 D" B9 W  特别是在晚上,路上并不很安全。: m, q# Z" |3 P  D9 R( h6 x/ y
  史密斯:地震有破坏到桥吗?
, F/ V) ~: C4 ~  @' C  尤里:没有,桥还很好。8 H- J9 n, t6 X' s7 _
  但我听到一些谣传有关群众运动将会由山区游行。0 t! y/ h* y; m# y: v! h
  已有打斗了。" X' M. m8 L$ g9 P
  史密斯:你是认真的吗?打斗?但我没有听到任何新闻报导。' }/ g. x0 s& e& y: d
  尤里:你知道这里政府控制着媒体,他们不想被报导出来。1 @& a: A9 `- P( U7 c
  史密斯:喔,这太可怕了,尤里。太可怕了!
4 a/ u% l6 r  S, D% g, g  所以我们连评估损坏都不行。我们要如何在这个国家做生意呢?/ L8 x! A  }- F
  我们不是被泥浆活埋,就是担心会遭到绑架。
2 x; J$ u( ^) G. R  不,我不能相信这个乱象!# W- Z: {2 i" d! K! y* d0 W
  尤里:我很抱歉。# ?- ~& q5 z% n) D9 y
  史密斯:你不需要一直说抱歉,尤里。这并不是你的错。! u0 g6 I6 u* Z8 T1 m- @4 X/ Z
  但我……我才应该感到抱歉。9 @/ c# x; E. K6 u
  是我当初提议到这里来经营的。喔,我们该怎么办呢?
