Feifei: Hello and welcome to The English

We Speak.

I'm Feifei but I'm not sure where Neil is.

Neil: Sorry I'm late.

It's going a bit crazy out there in the office. Ça devient un peu fou là-bas au bureau. オフィスではちょっとクレイジーになっている。

Feifei: Crazy?

Neil: Yes. Everybody is arguing and shouting. Neil : Oui. Tout le monde se dispute et crie.

Feifei: About what exactly?

Neil: The mess in the office.

The boss says it's untidy Le patron dit que c'est désordonné Бос каже, що тут неохайно.

and we should clear up after ourselves. et nous devrions nettoyer après nous-mêmes. і ми повинні прибирати за собою. 我們應該自己清理一下。

He even said that my desk was like a pigsty! Il a même dit que mon bureau était comme une porcherie !

Feifei: Hmmm, well you'd better stay in here and keep Feifei : Hmmm, eh bien tu ferais mieux de rester ici et de garder Фейфей: Хм, що ж, тобі краще залишитися тут і тримати

out of the way until things have calmed down. à l'écart jusqu'à ce que les choses se soient calmées. з дороги, поки все не заспокоїться.

Neil: Good idea. I'll just let the dust to settle. Neil : Bonne idée. Je vais laisser la poussière retomber.

Feifei: Oh, so the office is messy and dusty.

Is that what everyone's arguing about. The dust? C'est pour ça que tout le monde se dispute. La poussière?

Neil: No Feifei,

I just mean I'll wait for the situation to calm down.

Feifei: Got it! Feifei : J'ai compris !

So, you're just keeping out of the way. Donc, vous vous tenez juste à l'écart. 所以，你只是躲開。

Are you scared? Es tu effrayé? 你怕了嗎？

Neil: Of course not.

I just wanted to hear these examples…

We've had lots of complaints about the changes Nous avons reçu beaucoup de plaintes au sujet des changements Ми отримали багато скарг на зміни

but let's wait until the dust settles

before we respond.

We're busy moving house at the moment Наразі ми зайняті переїздом

but I'll give you a call when the dust settles. але я подзвоню тобі, коли все вляжеться.

Now the dust has settled after the restructuring, Maintenant, la poussière est retombée après la restructuration,

I think we can talk about recruitment.

Feifei: This is The English We Speak from the BBC

and we're finding out about the phrase

'let the dust settle',

which means to wait for a

situation to calm down.

Neil: We can also say 'wait for the dust to settle',

which is what I'm doing right now. c'est ce que je fais en ce moment. що я зараз і роблю.

Feifei: Neil, I have a feeling you're just Feifei : Neil, j'ai l'impression que tu es juste

avoiding the situation for one reason. éviter la situation pour une raison.

Neil: Oh yeah, what's that?

Feifei: Look out there.

They're all pointing at your desk.

They're not arguing about a messy office. Ils ne se disputent pas à propos d'un bureau en désordre.

They're complaining about your mess. Ils se plaignent de votre désordre.

Neil: Really. Well I like to work in a messy environment.

Feifei: Maybe, but I don't think the dust is

ever going to settle in this argument. 永遠不會解決這個爭論。

Neil: OK. But I think I'll stay in here for just a little longer.

Both: Bye.
