辦公室英語情景對話
在職場中,大家都對Message和Note比較熟悉,但是談到備忘錄Memo的時候大家往往會將其與前面的兩個單詞搞混。Memo在中文中有兩個解釋,除了表示錄以備忘的公文之外,還在美國往往還用來表達公司的內(nèi)部通知。
備忘錄有哪些類型呢?一般來說備忘錄(Memo)分為告知信息類、布置安排類、征求意見類、詢問信息類、求職申請類以及推薦建議類。下面我們就通過一則情景對話來看一則關(guān)于告知信息類的備忘錄。
A: Ms. Dawson, I need you to take a dictation for me.
A:道森小姐,我想讓你給做一下記錄。
B: Yes, sir…
B:好的,老板。
A: This should go out as an intra-office memorandum to all employees by this afternoon. Are you ready?
A:這是今天下午之前發(fā)給所有職工的內(nèi)部文件。準備好了嗎?
B: Yes, sir. Go head.
B:好了,老板。您說吧。
A: Attention all staff…Effective immediately, all office communications are restricted to email correspondence and official memos. The use of Instant Message programs by employees during working hours is strictly prohibited.
A:全體員工請注意……請立即執(zhí)行:所有辦公室的聯(lián)系僅限于電子郵件和正式的備忘錄。上班時間嚴禁使用即時通信系統(tǒng)。
B: Sir, does this apply to intra-office communications only? Or will it also restrict external communications?
B:老板,這僅限于辦公室內(nèi)部通行嗎?還是也包括外部通信?
A: It should apply to all communications, not only in this office between employees, but also any outside communications.
A:所有的通信都應(yīng)該包括在內(nèi),不僅是辦公室的員工之間,還包括所有對外聯(lián)系。
B: But sir, many employees use Instant Messaging to communicate with their clients.
B:可是老板,很多員工都用即時通信系統(tǒng)與客戶聯(lián)系。
A: They will just have to change their communication methods. I don’t want anyone using Instant Messaging in this office. It wastes too much time! Now, please continue with the memo. Where were we?
A:他們只需要改變一下聯(lián)系方法。我不想要任何人在這個辦公室使用即時通信系統(tǒng),太浪費時間了!現(xiàn)在,請繼續(xù)往下寫備忘錄。我們剛剛說到哪兒了?
B: “This applies to internal and external communications…”
B:“這包括內(nèi)部和外部聯(lián)系……”
A: Yes. Any employee who persists in using Instant Messaging will first receive a warning and be placed on probation. At second offense, the employee will face termination. Any questions regarding this new policy may be directed to department heads.
A:是的。任何堅持使用即時通信系統(tǒng)的人,如果是初犯就會受到警告,然后試用一段時間。如果是第二次犯,這個人就會被解雇。有關(guān)這一新政策的問題可以直接向部門主管反映。
B: Is that all?
B:就這些嗎?
A: Yes. Please get this memo typed up and distributed to all employees before 4 pm.
A:就這些。請把這份備忘錄打印出來,在下午四點以前分發(fā)給所有員工。
