Chinese Work

我关注他们。

Wǒ guānzhù tāmen.

I follow them.

声音关掉了。

Shēngyīn guān diào le.

The sound is off.

是静音吗？

Shì jìngyīn ma?

Is it on silent mode?

我该让你回去工作了。

Wǒ gāi ràng nǐ huíqù gōngzuò le.

I better let you get back to work.

很抱歉这么久才回复您。

Hěn bàoqiàn zhème jiǔ cái huífù nín.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

如果你有空，我想在你离开前跟你简单说一下。

Rúguǒ nǐ yǒu kòng, wǒ xiǎng zài nǐ líkāi qián gēn nǐ jiǎndān shuō yīxià.

If you have a moment, I wanted to quickly run something by you before you leave.

我们需要把预约改到下周。

Wǒmen xūyào bǎ yùyuē gǎi dào xiàzhōu.

We need to reschedule the appointment for next week.

请原谅我说话这么直接，我实在太需要赶在你走之前拦住你了。

Qǐng yuánliàng wǒ shuōhuà zhème zhíjiē, wǒ shízài tài xūyào gǎn zài nǐ zǒu zhīqián lánzhù nǐ le.

Forgive me for being so blunt, but I desperately needed to catch you before you headed out.

我相信自从上次会议后，你那边一切进展顺利。

Wǒ xiāngxìn zìcóng shàngcì huìyì hòu, nǐ nàbiān yīqiè jìnzhǎn shùnlì.

I trust that everything is running smoothly on your end since our last meeting.

你就给我讲讲主要的，告诉我最重要的三点。

Nǐ jiù gěi wǒ jiǎng jiǎng zhǔyào de, gàosù wǒ zuì zhòngyào de sān diǎn.

Just give me the short version; tell me the top three points.

他的话你得打个折扣，因为他给的数字总是夸大其词。

Tā de huà nǐ děi dǎ gè zhékòu, yīnwèi tā gěi de shùzì zǒngshì kuādà qí cí.

You need to take everything he says with a grain of salt because his figures are always exaggerated.

我一做完这个任务，就给你回电话。

Wǒ yī zuò wán zhège rènwu, jiù gěi nǐ huí diànhuà.

I’ll give you a call back the moment I finish this task.

不要再浪费时间争论细节了。

Bù yào zài làngfèi shíjiān zhēnglùn xìjié le。

Try not to waste any more time arguing about the details.

能简单跟我说一下我不在时发生了什么吗?

Néng jiǎndān gēn wǒ shuō yīxià wǒ bùzài shí fāshēngle shénme ma?

Can you brief me on what happened while I was out?

你发那个了吗？

Nǐ fā nàge le ma?

Did you post that?

你记得把你的硬盘加密以防万一了吗？

Nǐ jìde bǎ nǐde yìngpán jiāmì yǐ fáng wàn yī le ma?

Did you remember to encrypt your hard drive just in case?

我最近收到了很多垃圾邮件，真烦人。

Wǒ zuìjìn shōudào le hěn duō lājī yóujiàn, zhēn fánrén.

I've been getting a lot of spam emails recently, which is annoying.

我们直接通过云端分享文件，这样方便多了。

Wǒmen zhíjiē tōngguò yúnduān fēnxiǎng wénjiàn, zhèyàng fāngbiàn duōle。

We can just share the file via the cloud, that's much easier.

我听说他们下个月会发布新版本，所以也许等一下。

Wǒ tīngshuō tāmen xià gè yuè huì fābù xīn bǎnběn, suǒyǐ yěxǔ děng yīxià。

I heard they're releasing a new version next month, so maybe wait.

我在考虑换个运营商，因为这里的信号太差了。

Wǒ zài kǎolǜ huàn gè yùnyíngshāng, yīnwèi zhèlǐ de xìnhào tài chà le.

I'm thinking about switching providers because the reception is terrible here.
