Dialogue on the Job (Part One) - Диалог на работе (Часть 1)
Text for control.
John: Hello! What's wrong?
Николай: Hello. Everything's ok/fine. I'm installing this equipment on the tractor. [1]
John: What equipment?
Николай: A GPS tracker with a fuel level sensor and personnel identifiers.
John: Why are you installing it on the tractor?. It's still under warranty. [2] I haven't authorized you to install this equipment on the tractor!. [3]
Николай: The installation was agreed to by the chief engineer.
John: Wait a while before continuing with the installation. I'm going to seek clarification.
Николай: Ok. In the meanwhile I'll be working on that tractor. [4]
John: OK, you can work on that one.
[1] "in" the tractor is possible, but rarer.
[2] A "warranty" is similar to a "guarantee," but the word "warranty" is used when a product is sold. The seller agrees to repair or replace the object if stops working properly within the warranty period.
[3] The best verb to use in English is "authorize," and the best tense is the present perfect.
[4] The word "that" is written in italics, to show that in English the speaker would emphasize the word while speaking.
