斯威尼先生，我想与你谈谈公司干部会议的事。我认为我们可以做得更有效率。
Well, what do you suggest, Feng?
冯，你的建议是什么？
The way it is now, the staff from all our five branches get together once a week. We meet for onehour. But I think a lot of time is wasted in transportation.
现在的方法是，我们5个分公司的干部每星期都来这里开会一次，每次一个小时，但我认为许多时间都浪费在交通上了。
You mean because people have to go across city to get here.
你的意思是因为大家都要横跨整个城市到这儿。
Yes. Some people spend half of the morning on the road.
是的，一些人花了半个上午在路上。
That' s true. But you know our staff meetings are very important. Feng. I don' t know how we canfunction without them.
确实如此。但我们的干部会议很重要，冯。我不知道没有他们我们如何能运作。
I think they are important too. That' s why I want people to have a better attitude about them.
我也认为他们很重要。那就是为什么我希望大家对会议有更好的态度。
I know a lot of people think the meeting aren' t too useful. I' m aware of it.
我知道有些人认为会议没有太大的用处。我知道这个情况。
Here' s what I propose. I think we should meet once every two weeks, but meet for two hours ormore.
我的建议是我们应该每两个星期开一次会，但每次会开两个小时或更长一点。
It sounds reasonable. Please go ahead.听起来有道理。请接着说。
And I also think the meeting should be more focused. I would be willing to take responsibility forthat.
我还认为会议议题应更加明确。我愿意对这件事负责。
You mean you want to run the meetings?
你的意思是你要主持会议？
No, not really run them. But I could help you organize them. That' s, I could discuss meetingtopics with you, and then prepare a schedule for each meeting. I could send an email to all the staff toexplain the coming meeting. This way the meeting would become more focused, and people would preparebetter.
不，并不是主持会议。但我可以帮你组织会议。也就是说，我可以与你讨论议题，然后准备每次会议的议程。我可以给所有干部发电子邮件解释即将召开会议的议题。这样会议就能更明确，大家也能准备得更充分。
Hmm… But we would meet every two weeks.
嗯……但我们会每两个星期开一次会。
I really think it would work, Mr. Sweeney. The meeting could be longer, and better organized.
我真的认为这是可行的。会议时间可以长些，而且组织得更好。
