    Norma: What is this?
    諾爾瑪: 這是什么?
    Jimmy: It's a flyer for a meeting I've called to talk about forming a labor union here.
    吉米: 這是會議通知單,我召開這次會議是為了討論在這里成立工會。
    Norma: Here? Do you think the management will let us?
    諾爾瑪: 在這里?你覺得管理層會允許嗎?
    Jimmy: They can't stop us. We're working longer and longer hours and we need to demand higher pay. We also need better work conditions and a say in hiring and firing procedures. All of us need to band together to have better bargaining power.
    吉米: 他們阻止不了我們。我們的工作時間越來越長,而且我們理應獲得更高的薪水。我們還需要更好的工作環(huán)境,以及在人事方面有發(fā)言權。只有我們團結一致才有能力討價還價。
    Norma: I don't know. I want to be better paid and to have job security like everybody else, but I'm afraid of what will happen when we start agitating.
    諾爾瑪: 我不知道。我想有更高的收入,像其他人一樣工作有保障,但我擔心這樣鼓動員工會帶來什么后果。
    Jimmy: I'll tell you what will happen: The management will finally hear what we have to say. With collective bargaining, the rank and file will get what we deserve, at long last. Are you in or out?
    吉米: 我來告訴你會發(fā)生什么:管理層最終會聽到我們的聲音。在集體的力量下,普通員工們到最后會得到應得的待遇。你是加入還是退出?
    Norma: I'll have to think about it.
    諾爾瑪: 這事我得再想想。
    Jimmy: He who hesitates is lost.
    吉米: 遲疑者必失良機。
    Norma: Yes, but I was always taught to look before I leap.
    諾爾瑪: 雖然如此,但也要學會三思而后行。
