Yuko: What's all this?
優(yōu)子： 這是怎么回事?
Reza: We're gearing up for the busy season. We don't want to get caught with our pants down like we did last season.
雷扎： 我們正在為旺季做準(zhǔn)備。我們不想像上一季度那樣忙亂地手無足措。

Reza: We have to prepare for every contingency. If we get a flood of visitors, we need to be able to handle the surge in traffic. These three months are our peak months anyway, so we should expect an upswing in business soon.
雷扎： 我們必須做好各項(xiàng)應(yīng)急準(zhǔn)備。如果游人蜂擁而至，我們必須能夠應(yīng)付交通洪流。不論怎樣，這三個(gè)月是高峰期，我們應(yīng)該預(yù)料到業(yè)務(wù)會(huì)有所增長(zhǎng)。
Yuko: But what if people don't come in large numbers as you're anticipating? All of these extra supplies will go to waste.

Reza: No, they won't. Most of this stuff isn't perishable, so we'll just save it for the next time we get a rush of visitors. Or, maybe, I'll just invite my buddies over at the end of the season and we'll have a party.

Yuko: So when you said that we have to plan for every contingency, this was what you meant.
優(yōu)子： 當(dāng)你說我們必須做好各項(xiàng)應(yīng)急計(jì)劃時(shí)，其實(shí)是指這件事。
Reza: Exactly!
雷扎： 正是!
