The company's got cashflow difficulties at present - the problem lies with our larger customers. They've been delaying payments and we are in danger of going into the red. I'm negotiating with these clients to find a solution. If I don't succeed, we may not be able to pay our own bills!
目前,公司的現金流有些難處——問題在于我們的大客戶。他們延期付款,而我們則面臨負債的危險。我正在與這些客戶協商來找到解決方法。如果我未能成功,我們就沒法付自己的賬了!

I'm responsible for making sure that our stock levels are sufficient to meet orders. Customers don't want to know about staff or technical problems - they want their goods on time. Sometimes I have to persuade staff to do overtime or hire extra machines to meet deadlines. Anything to make sure our customers get their orders.
我負責確保我們的庫存充足,能夠滿足訂單需要。客戶不想了解員工或技術問題——他們只想按時拿到貨物。為了按時完成任務,我有時必須說服員工加班,或者租用額外的機器。我所做的就是為了保證我們的客戶拿到他們訂單上的貨物。
