用商務英語説項目的優勢和劣勢
一個大公司的主管人員正在參加一個商業研討會。在會間休息時，他們一起討論在不同地區實施項目的優勢和劣勢。
Dale: I really envy your milestones over the last few years, Don. In your presentation, I noticed the great results you've obtained in region D. We've had some trouble there.
我真的很羨慕你在過去幾年中所建立的豐功偉績。在你的發言中，我注意到你在D區取得了巨大的成績。我們在那裏遇到了一些麻煩。
Don: How so?
怎麼會這樣?
Dale: We've had problems on delivery dates for materials. Often, they're not on time. Looks like we'll have to change suppliers.
我們在原材料的交貨時間上有一些麻煩。他們經常不準時交貨。看來我們得換個供應商了。
Marshall: In my region, delivery is not a problem, but we're often behind schedule. If we hadn't extended the drop-dead date on a couple of projects, the situation would be even worse.
在我管轄的區域，交貨不是問題，但是我們常常延期工期。如果我們不是延長了一些項目的交付期限，情況會更糟。
Don: What's going wrong?

Marshall: We think it's an employee problem. We can't seem to get a good completion status from them, so that makes it difficult to track a project. We're going to start some job training in this area soon, so that should improve matters.
我想是員工的問題。無法從他們那裏得到項目完工情況，因此想要監控整個工程很難。我們將在那個區域開展一些培訓工作，這樣會使情況有所改善。

希望如此。好像研討會要開始了，我馬上要發言了，一會再和你們聊。
