工地脚手架验收：说清整改，约好复查，争取南侧先开工

Morning. I've finished the check. The scaffold's up to the fourth lift, but I've found two problems.

早。我检查完了。脚手架搭到第四层了，但发现两处问题。

听懂：scaffold 脚手架 · the fourth lift 脚手架第四层（lift＝脚手架的一层）

North side, two diagonal braces are missing. Third lift, east end, about six metres of toe board isn't fitted.

北侧缺了两根斜撑。第三层东头，大约六米踢脚板没装。

听懂：diagonal braces 斜撑 · toe board 踢脚板（防止东西掉落的挡板） · isn't fitted 没装上

Ah, come on, Graham. It's a small thing. The bricklayers are going up at ten.

哎，Graham，别这样，这是小事。砌砖的人十点就要上架了。

听懂：bricklayers 砌砖工、砌砖班组 · going up 上脚手架

Small things are how people fall. I can't sign the certificate until both are fixed. Are we clear?

出事往往就是小事。两处没改好，我不能签合格证。清楚了吗？

听懂：sign the certificate 签合格证 · are we clear? 清楚了吗、没误会吧

That's all. The south side passed. Everything else is fine.

就这些。南侧合格，其他都没问题。

Look, it's a quick job. My two lads can have both done by half eleven.

其实很快就能弄好。我手下两个人十一点半前能把两处都改完。

听懂：lads 小伙子们、手下的工人 · half eleven 十一点半（英式说法）

Yeah, both jobs, no bother. We'll get the materials up there now.

没问题，两处都改。我们现在就把材料运上去。

I've got another site this morning, but I can be back here around noon. When do you want me?

我上午还有另一个工地，不过中午前后能回来。你想让我几点来？

That works. But both items done properly, or I don't sign. Anything else before I go?

可以。但两处都要改到位，不然我不签。我走之前还有别的事吗？

听懂：done properly 做到位 · Anything else before I go? 我走之前还有别的吗

The south passed, so yes, in principle. But the platforms join at the corners. How will you keep people off the north?

南侧合格，原则上可以。但两边平台在转角是连着的。你怎么保证没人走到北侧？

听懂：in principle 原则上 · join at the corners 在转角处连在一起 · keep people off 不让人上去

Good. Block the corners too, and tell the bricklayers before they go up.

好。转角也要拦住，砌砖的人上去之前先跟他们交代清楚。

No bother. We'll be finished before you're back, Graham.

没问题。你回来之前我们就弄完了，Graham。
