This is the first in a series of Business English lessons on handling a crisis.

這是有關(guān)處理危機(jī)系列課程的第1節(jié)課。

Imagine this: it’s four o’clock in the morning and you’re sound asleep. The phone rings. It’s one of your managers. There’s been a terrible accident! What do you do? What do you say?

設(shè)想一下：現(xiàn)在是早晨4點(diǎn)，你已經(jīng)熟睡。這時(shí)電話響了，是經(jīng)理打來(lái)的。發(fā)生了可怕的事故，你該做什么?說(shuō)什么?

At some point in your career, you will have to deal with a major crisis. It could be a labor strikeor an environmental disaster. And there are minor crises, like missing an important delivery or running out of paper, that can happen every day. These events can certainly do damage, but how much? That depends on how you deal with them.

在職業(yè)生涯中，你必須處理好嚴(yán)重的危機(jī)?？赡苁枪と肆T工或是環(huán)境災(zāi)難。也會(huì)有小的危機(jī)，比如丟失了重要的投遞或是用完了紙，這樣的事每天都能發(fā)生。這些事會(huì)造成一定程度的損失，有什么損失呢?那要看你如何來(lái)處理這些事。

Good crisis management is the key. Your success and reputation depend on it. So in this lesson, we’ll look at what happens when a crisis breaks, or begins. This is all about “TakingControl in a Crisis.” We’ll cover some useful techniques and language to deal effectively with that early morning phone call about an accident.

能掌控危機(jī)十分重要。你的成功和名譽(yù)都要靠它。在這節(jié)課中，我們看下危機(jī)發(fā)生時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)生什么。都是關(guān)于“掌控危機(jī)”的。我們會(huì)學(xué)到一些有用的技巧和語(yǔ)言來(lái)有效地處理早晨有人打電話匯報(bào)緊急事件。

We’ll hear Sandy and Mike, who work at a factory in China that has just had an accident. Sandy is the plant manager, while Mike is the lead production engineer. A pipe has burst, releasing gas and injuring two workers. Now Sandy and Mike are calling their boss, Frank Menzies, in the U.S. Let’s listen as Sandy and Mike deliver the bad news and Frank takes control of the crisis.

Sandy 和 Mike工作在中國(guó)的一家公司，公司剛剛發(fā)生了事故。 Sandy是工廠經(jīng)理，而Mike是產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)師。一個(gè)管道爆炸了，釋放出氣體并使2名工人受傷?，F(xiàn)在2人正給美國(guó)的老板Frank Menzies打電話。聽(tīng)下Sandy 和 Mike匯報(bào)壞消息，F(xiàn)rank如何來(lái)掌握危機(jī)。

Listening Questions:

1. Why isn’t Mike on the call at the beginning?

2. What information about the incident does Frank want to know?

3. What does Frank instruct Mike to do at the end?
