Their letter, they said, was routine, In your case it was prompted by an anonymous phone call, the government, as you know, has been encouraging people to report those they suspect of tax evasion,
所有的一切都已经搞清楚了，汤姆，你给我打电话后，我就和税务局核实了。似乎有一个误会。他们说，他们的信是例行公事，你的情况下，是由一个匿名电话的引起的，如你所知，政府鼓励人们举报他们怀疑逃税的。

嗯，正如我已经说过的，公司只是有点儿小。
Tom: What did I tell you, Paul?
我跟你说什么来着，保罗？
Kamal:...But that's no reason to throw the export idea out of the window.
但这不是把出口的想法抛出窗外的理由
Tom. Oh?
哦？
Paul: Go on, Kamal,Let's hear what you have to say.
继续，卡马尔，让我们听听你说的话
Kamal:Well, the bank might be able to do something, We're very keen on small, quality firms expanding, Exporting could interest us, But finance is not the main problem.
好的，银行能够做一些事情，我们非常热衷于小型，优质公司的扩张，出口可能对我们感兴趣，但金融不是主要问题。
Tom:Not the main problem, but ...?

Kamal: That's all right, Don't forget the bank has a 10% share in Jayal Motors.
没关系，不要忘记银行在贾亚尔摩托有10％的股份的。
Paul: That's a good enough motive.
这是一个很好的动机
