1--Alright, ladies and gentlemen. We’ve been hired to build a deck on this here house, and turn this boring and drab lawn into a backyard oasis. There is one catch, though. We’ve only got one day to finish this, so I’m gonna need everyone to give one hundred and ten percent today. It’s going to be tough, but we’ve got a great team here, and I know that together we can tackle this project. That being said, let’s get to work!
 
2--That’s right. Now, remember, we’ve been over the plans, but we really need to make sure that everything is up to code. The home inspectors here are pretty thorough, so please make sure you follow the plans exactly. And remember the carpenter’s rule of thumb: measure twice and cut once.
 
1--Okay, guys. Let’s get at it. Bob! Pass me that hammer! The nails won’t go in; the wood is too hard. I think I’m gonna need the nail gun. That did it!
 
3--Do me a favor and help me cut this two-by-four, will ya? Pass me the circular saw, and grab hold of the end of the board. Now help me drill some holes in it so we can place the bolts.
 
2--I think you should sand the edges. Look at all these splinters, someone could get hurt. Geez...you gotta take pride in your work!
 
3--Yeah, you’re right. Pass me the sander and I’ll take care of it.
 
1--Julia! Get over here with the level, measuring tape and that box of screws!
 
3--Oh, no! Look out below!

1--女士們，先生們。我們將要在這所房子上做些裝飾，把這個乏味的草坪變成一個庭院綠洲。但是有一點很著急。我們只有一天來完成這項工作，所以我需要大家全力以赴。工作有困難，但是我們是一個強大的團隊，我知道團結(jié)一心我們能完成任務。讓我們開始工作吧。
2--好吧，現(xiàn)在，記住，我們已經(jīng)延期了。但是我們需要先確認下一切都已經(jīng)準備妥當。這兒的監(jiān)察員都很仔細，所以一定要按方案干活，記住木匠的原則：測量兩次后再去做。
1--好了，伙計們。讓我們開始吧。鮑勃！把錘子遞給我！釘子扎不進去；木頭太硬了。我想我需要釘子槍。就是這樣！
3--幫我個忙，把這個切成2寸厚4寸長的木板。把圓形鋸遞給我，抓住木板的一段。在木板上打些洞，這樣才能放螺栓。
2--我認為你應該用砂紙磨光邊緣。看這些碎片，可能會傷到人……干活要有技巧。
3--是的，你是對的。把砂光機遞給我，我來處理。
1--Julia!把水平儀，測量尺和那箱螺絲拿過來。
3--小心下面。
