Karen worked in a small company.She liked her job and her manager always praised her work.One day,the manager asked Karen to come into his office.He told Karen that everyone was pleased with her work and then asked Karen to do a special job for him.He said he had to go to an important meeting where he had to give a speech about their company.He asked Karen to write the speech for him.He told her it had to be exactly twenty minutes long and should be interesting.It had to be ready by the next morning.
Karen asked the manager some questions about what should be in the speech,and then she went to other members of the company and talked to them as well.Soon she had enough information to write the speech.She worked on it all night and in the morning she gave it to the manager.The manager thanked her and rushed off to the meeting with the speech.
The next day Karen came to work and found a note from the manager on her desk.“Come to my office immediately,” it said.Karen was worried.Was something wrong with the speech?
She went to the manager’s office.As soon as she entered the office,she could see that the manager was upset.She could see her speech in his hand.
“I thought I asked you to write an interesting speech that would last for twenty minutes”,he began.“This speech,” he continued,as he waved the papers about,“lasted (持续) twice that long!The beginning was interesting,but by the second half people got up and left,it was so boring!How could you do this to me?This was very important for the company!”
Karen couldn't understand what had gone wrong.
“I’m sure that it was only twenty minutes long,” she replied.“I did everything you asked,I’m sure.I even gave you two copies.”

凯伦在一家小公司上班.她很热爱这份工作,而且她的经理也常常表扬她的工作表现.有一天,那位经理叫凯伦到他的办公室一趟.她告诉凯伦公司里的每一位同仁都对她的工作能力感到非常满意,然后便让凯伦为他完成一项特殊的任务.他说他必须出席一项重要会议并在会议上关于公司事务发表演说.他想让凯伦帮他写一篇演说稿.他告诉她这篇演讲稿必须刚好持续20分钟时长并且必须有趣些.演讲稿必须在明天早上前准备好.
凯伦询问了经理关于演讲稿中具体内容的肌肤问题后,便同公司的其他同事讨论.很快,她便有了足够的信息来写演讲稿了.一整个晚上,她都在忙着写演讲稿,第二天早上她就将演讲稿上交给了经理.经理对凯伦表示感谢后便急忙带上演讲稿赶去会议现场.
第二天凯伦到办公室后在办公桌上发现了一张经理写的便条,上面写着,“马上到我的办公室一趟”.凯伦开始感到不安.难道那篇演讲稿出了什么差错?
她来到了经理的办公室门前.她一进到办公室,就看到经理非常地心烦意乱.她还看到他手中的那篇演讲稿.
“我记得我告诉过你要写一篇20分钟长的有趣的稿子,”他开始说道,“而这篇演讲,”他一边在空中乱挥着稿子一边继续说道,“时长整整多了一倍!演讲开头确实挺有趣,但是到了第二部分由一半的人起身离开,因为它实在太乏味了!你怎么可以这样对我?这可是对公司至关重要的会议啊!”
凯伦不能理解到底是哪里出了岔子.
“我很肯定这篇演讲稿是20分钟长的,”她回答道,“我也很肯定我都是按照所有你说的去做,我甚至还给了你两份副本.”
