在以下這段對(duì)話中，Gregory Cosgrove是一家大型電信公司的首席執(zhí)行官，而Gloria Atkinson是人事部的主管。他們正在談?wù)撘淮未笠?guī)模的重組計(jì)劃。

Gregory: Gloria, before I officially announce the reorganization, I want your final feedback.
Gloria，在我正式宣布重組之前，我想最后再聽(tīng)一下你的意見(jiàn)。

Gloria: I've gone through the entire plan again, and I'm sure the impact will be minimal, since we're not planning large-scale firings or lay-offs.
我把整個(gè)計(jì)劃又理了一遍。我肯定這次重組帶來(lái)的振蕩會(huì)很小。因?yàn)槲覀儧](méi)有大規(guī)模的解雇或裁員計(jì)劃。

Gregory: That was a key objective from the start. Qualified staff holding positions that are being cut will be offered retraining for our new positions. If they accept, they have the job.
這一開始就是我們的一個(gè)重要目標(biāo)。而且，假如被裁職位上的雇員符合我們的用人要求，我們將向他們提供再培訓(xùn)的機(jī)會(huì)以使他們適應(yīng)我們新崗位的需要。如果他們接受這樣的安排，就仍有工作。

Gloria: That's the best policy. Nevertheless, some employees may not want to change career paths in mid-stream, and will probably put in their notice.
這真是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的做法。但即便是這樣，可能會(huì)有些人不愿意中途更換工種，他們?nèi)杂锌赡芴岢鲛o呈。

Gregory: I know, and we have a very fair compensation package for those who decide to quit. Some people can take advantage of our early retirement package. In the odd case, this may be a good opportunity to can non-performers.
這點(diǎn)我也想到了。我們將給決定辭職的員工一筆相當(dāng)公道的補(bǔ)償金。有些人還可以領(lǐng)到我們的提早退休金。說(shuō)不定這還是我們解雇不稱職員工的好機(jī)會(huì)呢。

Gloria: I've talked to ER, and there aren't too many of those any more. Hopefully, we won't lose people because of the new drug testing regulation, either.
我與雇員關(guān)系部談過(guò)，這樣的情況已經(jīng)不那么多見(jiàn)了。另外，我們希望不要因?yàn)檫@次新的藥檢規(guī)定而造成公司人員損失。

Gregory: This reorganization and the new company policies will make us leaner and meaner. Are the new employee contracts ready?
這次重組加上新的公司章程將使我們減輕負(fù)擔(dān)，提高效率。對(duì)了，新的雇用合同準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？

Gloria: Yes they are, and all other appropriate forms have been modified. I've also set things in motion to revise our orientation process. We're ready to go!
已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。其他相關(guān)的表格也都經(jīng)過(guò)改進(jìn)了。對(duì)熟悉環(huán)境步驟的修改也已在著手進(jìn)行之中。一切都已就緒。

Gregory: Great! I think we've covered all the bases. I'll set up a general meeting for next Monday to make the announcement.
好極了！我想我們已將方方面面都考慮周全了。下周一我將召開全體大會(huì)宣布進(jìn)行重組。
