商务英语考试情景口语对话:统计分析

 　　A： Now， where were we？ Oh yes， can you give us an idea about the statistical¹ analysis？

　　B： Our analysis shows that we are very competitive. If you refer to the last page of the handout²， you will see a plot of our expenses vs. our profits for the last quarter. Do you think it‘s neccesary to go over the expenses more in detail？

　　A： Unless anyone has specific questions， let’s move on to the next point. Motion to accept statistical analysis report.

　　B： I move to accept.

　　A： Second？

　　C： I second.

　　A： all in favour？ Motion pass. Now， let‘s get done to the nitty- gritty. We have all seen the performance review reports， but I would like to discuss in detail our human resource’s agenda.

　　C： to get to the bottom of the issue， our problem with human resources is a lack of qualified³ applicants⁴， as well as not enough incentives⁶ to current employees. I recommend management training for our executive staff.

　　A： I‘m sorry， I don’t think I understand. Can you please elaborate？

　　C： I‘ll explain again. Our human resources progam is failing for a multiple number of reasons， but I think the most important issue here is lack of emlployee incentives.

　　好了，我们说到哪儿了？哦，想起来了，你们对统计分析有什么看法？

　　分析表明我们很具有竞争力。翻到材料的最后一页，你们会看到我们上一季度的开支与盈利表。你们认为还有必要详细看一下费用开支吗？

　　如果没有细节问题，我们就进行下一项。请表决是否接受统计分析报告？

　　我提议接受该报告。

　　还有同意的吗？

　　我同意。

　　大家一致赞成吗？动议通过。现在，我们来看一些细节问题。我们大家都看到了业绩评议报告，但是我想让大家详细讨论一下我们人力资源部的议程安排。

　　从根本上讲，我们人力资源部的问题是缺少合格的求职者，对现在的员工也没有足够的激励措施。我建议对我们的主管人员进行管理培训。

　　对不起，我想我没有弄明白您的意思。请您再详细解释一下，可以吗？

　　我再说明一下。我们人力资源计划失败有很多种原因，但我认为最重要的原因就是缺乏对员工的激励措施。
