商務(wù)英語播客第130課:處理危機(jī)之理清思路
This is the third in our Business English Pod series on handling a crisis. In the first part of a crisis, there may be a lot of confusion and activity. But if you make it through that part okay, what comes next? 這是關(guān)于商務(wù)英語播客中處理危機(jī)系列的第三集。在危機(jī)的初期，可能會有疑惑和行動。但是如果你能順利度過，接下來又會遇到什么呢?
At a certain point after the critical phase, people will come together to re-evaluate the situation. Team work is important. People need to be working together to handle the crisis. If they don't, if theydisagree and try to go in different directions, it won't be good for the company. Unity isabsolutely essential. It takes good leadership to establish that unity early on, but it takes good team work to maintain it. 在關(guān)鍵階段的某一時(shí)刻，人們將會聚到一起對局勢進(jìn)行再評估。團(tuán)隊(duì)合作是很重要的。人們需要在一起工作解決危機(jī)。如果他們沒有，如果他們的意見沒有統(tǒng)一，對于公司來說是不好的。團(tuán)結(jié)是絕對重要的。在早期建立統(tǒng)一需要良好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力，但是能否保持還在于整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)。
In our last lesson, we heard Mike, the production engineer talking with the VP of Communications in Singapore, Monika. She was getting some information from Mike about an accident and creating a communication plan. That was still the critical phase of the crisis. 在我們上一集中，我們聽到作為生產(chǎn)工程師的麥克，和新加坡通信公司副總裁莫妮卡的對話。

We'll hear Mike and Monika, as well asFrank the American boss, Sandy the plant manager, and a lawyer named Simone. Let's listen as they try to gain perspective on the crisis and figure out how well they've handled the situation so far. 在這一集中，我們聽到了危機(jī)后的電話會議?，F(xiàn)在是思考發(fā)生什么和重新評估局面的時(shí)候了。我們能聽到麥克和莫妮卡，以及美國總公司的老板弗蘭克，工廠經(jīng)理山迪，和一個(gè)叫西蒙的律師。讓我們聽錄音，理清思路來探尋對危機(jī)的看法。并且弄清楚到目前為止危機(jī)都處理地怎么樣了。
