…Thank you all for coming today. As you are all aware we are here to celebrate 35 years of continuous service by our friend and colleague James Dawson. He started as an administration officer in 1972, in our accounts department, and worked his way up the career ladder over the years, finally becoming vice president in 1989 of the company, and managing over three hundred employees. As most of you who have been working here long enough will know, it has been a long struggle to become one of the European market leaders in our field, and you may remember in 1982, when we had a huge setback, with the plans for a merger with our top rival company falling through. Because of that, we had to make some workers redundant, however James was lucky enough to keep his job. Yes, those really were the worst few years. However, we managed to get through these difficult times by working hard and James was a key player in the struggle to get us back on the path to becoming one of the largest computer manufacturing companies in Europe. One of James’s biggest strengths has been his immaculate timekeeping and organisational skills - in fact I have never known him to be without his diary! His negotiation skills and determination led to a tactful action plan to become one of the leading companies in Europe. I will never forget that day in 1987 when we had the final negotiations for the takeover of our rival company. James and his superb presenting and negotiating skills was one of the key factors to our success. The turning point in our company came with the successful takeover, and despite all the obstacles we have faced, the hard work and dedication of all our workers has made our company the success it is today. And I have to say that James, as one of our managers, has always acknowledged the work and contribution made by others. James, you rewarded your best employees with some of the best perks any company has given! Today we want to acknowledge the hard work and significant contributions which you have made. So thank you James, for your loyalty to the company and your hard work.


謝謝大家的參與。為了慶祝我們的朋友兼同事詹姆斯?道森工作滿三十五年，我們今天齊聚這里為他慶祝。1972年，他在我們財(cái)務(wù)部擔(dān)任行政主管，多年來，他以自己的方式不斷發(fā)展自己的職業(yè)，終于在1989年當(dāng)上了副總裁，管理三百名員工。我們大部分人都在這里工作很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了，相信都知道我們這個(gè)行業(yè)如果想在歐洲市場(chǎng)占領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位的話，長(zhǎng)期奮斗是必不可少的。還記得1982年，我們計(jì)劃與頂級(jí)的對(duì)手公司合并的計(jì)劃落空了，由此遭受很大打擊。因此，我們得裁員，但是，詹姆斯很幸運(yùn)地保住了工作。的確，那些日子很艱難，但是，我們努力工作，設(shè)法渡過困難時(shí)期。而詹姆斯在這場(chǎng)斗爭(zhēng)中起到很大作用，引導(dǎo)我們公司重新步入軌道，并成為歐洲最大的電腦生產(chǎn)公司之一。精準(zhǔn)的計(jì)時(shí)和組織能力是詹姆斯最大的優(yōu)勢(shì)，我認(rèn)識(shí)的他可是記錄薄不離身的！他的談判技巧和果斷使他能機(jī)智地制定計(jì)劃幫助公司加入歐洲領(lǐng)先公司的行列。我永遠(yuǎn)忘不了1987年的那天，我們與對(duì)手公司談判收購(gòu)事項(xiàng)，而詹姆斯超群的演講和談判技巧使得我們獲得成功。這次成功收購(gòu)成為我們公司的重要轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。無論我們面對(duì)什么困難，是我們的努力工作和奉獻(xiàn)克服了困難，才讓我們公司有了今天的成就。還有我必須講，作為經(jīng)理的詹姆斯，也很認(rèn)可其他人的工作和奉獻(xiàn)。詹姆斯，你給予表現(xiàn)優(yōu)秀的員工最好的，其他公司給不了的待遇！今天我們認(rèn)可你的努力工作，你的重大貢獻(xiàn)。所以，我獻(xiàn)上最深的謝意給忠誠(chéng)的，努力工作的詹姆斯！
