Lucy: What things should you include when drafting a contract? Lucy：撰寫契約的時候，有哪些東西是你該寫進去的啊？

Ted: I think I'm missing a folder. There should be another folder with all of the pricing information inside it. Ted：我想我有一個文件夾不見了。應該要有另一個文件夾裡面是包含所有價格的訊息的。
Lucy: Oh, wait a sec. I'll go and check if I left it on my desk. Lucy：喔，等一等。我去看看我是不是把它留在我桌上了。
