我們這裏到了兩台新設備，需要把舊的換掉。但這兩台都屬於需要四位男士合作才能抬起來的設備。我們這裏有兩位，因為是我工作的項目，所以我去隔壁組找到他們的team leader商量借勞動力的事情。

Me：Can I ask you a favor?

James: Sure, what is it?

Me:  We need to lift a couple of heavy devices so we'd like to borrow 2 men from your team.

James pretended to be serious: Hmm, my men are old, they might break their back.

I gave him a smile then said, :" Ok， I will tell them that."

James laughted, " No, no, no, don't tell them Ｉ said that."

Then he got serious:＂Sure, we would love to help."

I gave him another smile: "Thank you very much."
