The story

张经理：市场的同事们，开会了！大家看，这是我们的新产品：包子味道的猫饭。Marketing team, meeting time! Look, everyone — this is our new product: bun-flavoured cat food.

小林：这是大卫的主意！That was David's idea!

张经理：对。可是现在市场上的猫饭太多了。我们要宣传一下儿，拍一个广告。Right. But there's way too much cat food on the market. We need to promote it — make a commercial.

大卫：我们是做市场的，宣传就是我们的工作！We're the marketing team — promotion is our job!

小林：广告里需要一只猫。一只会表演的猫！The commercial needs a cat. A cat that can perform!

张经理：我不喜欢猫。只是……广告需要猫。I don't like cats. It's just that... the ad needs a cat.

小林：没问题！咱们公司每个员工都有猫。明天都带来！No problem! Everyone at our company has a cat. Let's all bring them tomorrow!

小林：我的猫先来。开始！……哎，你怎么跑到桌子下边了？My cat goes first. Action! ...Hey, why did you run under the desk?
