In today’s intermediate Business English Podcast episode you’ll practice reporting on progress. That means informing your boss or colleagues about your current work. This is also called updating someone on the status of a project.
在今天的商務播客中，你會練習如何報告進程。這意味著要告訴你的老板或同事你目前的工作。
這也叫做補充項目的最新信息。

Reporting on progress happens in formal settings, such as at meetings, but often also in informal settings, such as around the water cooler or maybe even over a drink after work.
匯報進程常在正式的場合，比如會議，但是在非正式的場合，比如在工作后小酌或喝水的時候。

Today’s listening provides an example of this very common kind of informal project update. It takes place in the offices of AirMech Services, a company that specializes in the maintenance, repair and modification of Passenger Loading Bridges, which are commonly called “jetways”. You’ll hear Rudi, a project manager, update his boss, Wolfgang, on the status of one such project. They meet each other during a break in the coffee room.
今天的聽力提供的是在非正式項目的信息補充。今天的會話發(fā)生在AirMech Services的辦公室，一家專業(yè)維修和安裝乘客登機橋的工作，也叫做“登機橋”。你會聽到項目工程師Rudi向老板Wolfgang匯報項目的進程。他們在休息中的咖啡廳遇見。

As you listen, pay attention to both the vocabulary and the verb tenses Rudi and Wolfgang use to discuss the progress of the project.
聽錄音的時候，要注意 Rudi 和 Wolfgang 用來討論項目進展的詞匯和動詞時態(tài)。
