2012年商務英語中級口語指導：統計分析

 　　A： Now， where were we？ Oh yes， can you give us an idea about the statistical analysis？
　　B： Our analysis shows that we are very competitive. If you refer to the last page of the handout， 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 qualified applicants， as well as not enough incentives 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，我們說到哪兒了？哦，想起來了，你們對統計分析有什么看法？
　　分析表明我們很具有競爭力。翻到材料的最后一頁，你們會看到我們上一季度的開支與盈利表。你們認為還有必要詳細看一下費用開支嗎？
　　如果沒有細節問題，我們就進行下一項。請表決是否接受統計分析報告？
　　我提議接受該報告。
　　還有同意的嗎？
　　我同意。
　　大家一致贊成嗎？動議通過。現在，我們來看一些細節問題。我們大家都看到了業績評議報告，但是我想讓大家詳細討論一下我們人力資源部的議程安排。
　　從根本上講，我們人力資源部的問題是缺少合格的求職者，對現在的員工也沒有足夠的激勵措施。我建議對我們的主管人員進行管理培訓。
　　對不起，我想我沒有弄明白您的意思。請您再詳細解釋一下，可以嗎？
　　我再說明一下。我們人力資源計劃失敗有很多種原因，但我認為最重要的原因就是缺乏對員工的激勵措施。
