我们这里到了两台新设备，需要把旧的换掉。但这两台都属于需要四位男士合作才能抬起来的设备。我们这里有两位，因为是我工作的项目，所以我去隔壁组找到他们的team leader商量借劳动力的事情。

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."
