今天小編為大家準(zhǔn)備了BEC中級真題第5輯精聽:Test 2-Part Three(3),一起來做聽力練習(xí)吧!

聽力原文:

I?think?many?senior?executives?think?it's?an?administrative?matter?that?is?beneath?them.

我想許多高級管理人員認(rèn)為這是一個不屬于他們的行政問題。

So?what's?you?suggest?

你有什么建議?

Well,?for?a?start,?it?can?be?more?sensible?to?think?through?agendas?on?an?annual?rather?than?an?individual?meeting?basis?so?that?routine?issues?are?on?the?agenda?for?just?a?couple?of?the?year's?meetings?rather?than?for?every?one?of?them.

首先,比較明智的方法是在年度會議的范圍內(nèi)審議議程,而不是在單獨(dú)會議的范圍內(nèi),因此,日常問題只會被提上幾次會議的議程,而不是每一次會議的議程。

A?lot?of?routine?points?are?there?because?they?are?always?there?and?people?then?get?bogged?down?discussing?those?with?the?result?that?there?isn't?enough?time?to?discuss?what?really?needs?to?be?talked?through?at?this?high?level.

有很多常規(guī)的觀點(diǎn)是存在的,因?yàn)樗鼈兛偸谴嬖诘?,然后人們陷入了對這些觀點(diǎn)的討論,結(jié)果沒有足夠的時間來討論在這個高級別上真正需要討論的問題。

Any?other?key?advice?you'd?give?

你還有其他重要的建議嗎?

Well,?yes,?I'd?remind?people?that?what?happens?after?the?meeting?is?of?great?importance?too.?A?meeting?is?only?as?good?as?its?follow-up.

嗯,有,我想提醒大家,會后發(fā)生的事情也很重要。會議的好壞取決于它的后續(xù)行動。

Ideally,?minutes?should?be?distributed?within?twenty-four?hours?of?the?meeting?both?to?people?who?were?at?the?meeting?and?those?who?were?not?able?to?attend.

理想情況下,會議記錄應(yīng)在會議結(jié)束后24小時內(nèi)分發(fā)給出席會議和不能出席會議的人。

Otherwise?people?who?were?there?won't?be?able?to?check?whether?the?minutes?represent?a?true?and?accurate?version?of?what?was?said.

否則在場的人就無法核實(shí)會議記錄是否真實(shí)、準(zhǔn)確地反映了會議內(nèi)容。

And?they?must?be?accurate?so?they?can?be?signed?off?quickly?at?the?next?board?meeting.?Thank?you.

它們必須準(zhǔn)確無誤,這樣才能在下次董事會上迅速得到批準(zhǔn)。謝謝你!
