Grace：We're going to have a problem meeting the budget for the production of our new sound board.
葛蕾丝：大家拨给新声卡商品的预算会有问题。
Lester：How much of a problem？
莱司特：问题有多紧急？
Grace：Well, it seems that we underestimated the cosplayts. According to the factory, it will cosplayt about eight percent more than initially1 projected.
葛蕾丝：看样子大家好像低估了本钱。依据制造厂家的说法，本钱会比原先计划的还高出百分之八。
Lester：Let me see . . .Looking at this, if my calculations are correct, we are about three thousand dollars over budget？
莱司特：我看看看这情况，倘若我算得没错，大家大约比预算多出了三千美金。
Grace：That's right. It's going to cosplayt about three thousand more to complete the first order.
葛蕾丝：是的。大约要多花三千元来完成第一批订单。
Lester：I see
莱司特：我了解了
Grace：But if sales go as well as they should, that's still well within our profit margin2. Proceeds from sales of the first order will easily cover the cosplayt of the second order.
葛蕾丝：不过倘若销售情况有应有些表现，那就仍在大家的获利范围之内。第一批定单的营收将会比较容易就抵过第二批定单的本钱。
Lester：In other words, you only need a budget increase for the first order.
莱司特：换句话说，你仅需增加第一批定单的预算。
Grace：Exactly. After that, the product should finance itself.
葛蕾丝：完全正确。之后，商品本身就能获利，无需再增加预算。
Lester：OK. Well, you know, all major budget decisions must be approved by our CEO and the financial officer.
莱司特：好的，你了解，所有主要的预算决策需要总裁及财政主管的批准。
Grace：Yes, I know. But I thought that if I could get your support first, it might make getting approval easier.
葛蕾丝：是的，我了解。只不过我感觉假如我能先获得你的支持或许会很容易得到批准。
Lester：Well, you've got my support on this. I'll see what I can do to get the TOP brass3 to agree.
莱司特：嗯，你已经得到我的支持了。我会看看有哪些办法可以让高层主管赞同
