Mandarin language learning HK-Mother’s wedding

 

♦A:下周我想请一天假。你觉得经理能同意吗?我知道现在公司很忙,但是我的确有一些重要的事情需要处理。
Xià zhōu wǒ xiǎng qǐng yītiān jiǎ. Nǐ juéde jīnglǐ néng tóngyì ma? Wǒ zhīdào xiànzài gōngsī hěn máng, dànshì wǒ díquè yǒu yīxiē zhòngyào de shìqíng xūyào chǔlǐ.
I would like to ask for one day off next week. Do you think the manager will agree? I know it is the busy time for our company, but I do have some important things to handle.
♦B:很难说。至少你得有合适的理由。
Hěn nánshuō. Zhìshǎo nǐ de yǒu héshì de lǐyóu.
Well. It is hard to say. At least you need to come up with good reason.
♦A:实际上我是要参加我妈妈的婚礼。她和我父亲多年前离婚了。现在她要组建一个新的家庭。这是一件很特别的事情,我应该去,对不对?
Shíjì shang wǒ shì yào cānjiā wǒ māmā de hūnlǐ. Tā hé wǒ fùqīn duōnián qián líhūnle. Xiànzài tā yào zǔjiàn yīgè xīn de jiātíng. Zhè shì yī jiàn hěn tèbié de shìqíng, wǒ yīnggāi qù, duì bùduì?
Actually it is my mother’s wedding. My parents divorced many years ago. Now she is ready to establish a new family. It is a special occasion. I got to be there, right?
♦B:的确应该去。去问问经理吧。我想他会理解你的情况,准你一天假的。别忘了填请假申请表,需要经理签字的。
Díquè yīnggāi qù. Qù wèn wèn jīnglǐ ba. Wǒ xiǎng tā huì lǐjiě nǐ de qíngkuàng, zhǔn nǐ yītiān jiǎ de. Bié wàngle tián qǐngjià shēnqǐng biǎo, xūyào jīnglǐ qiānzì de.
Yes, you should be there. Go find the manager and ask! I think the manager will understand and approve you a day off. Don’t forget to fill in the leave application form. It will be signed by the manager for approval.
♦A:太感谢了。
Tài gǎnxièle.
Thank you so much.
