在新的有關(guān)商務(wù)詞匯的系列課程的第2節(jié)課，我們會繼談?wù)撊肆Y源的話題，來看下描述培訓(xùn)經(jīng)理角色和職責(zé)的有用詞匯和搭配。

In this fast-changing global world, everything is moving. To make a successful business, it’s not enough just to follow yesterday’s trend. Companies and people need to constantly acquire new skills to succeed in tomorrow’s marketplace. This means driving new training initiatives to enhance performance. However, not all training is equally successful. To ensure training effectiveness, it’s important to track results and to have standard criteria for measuring outcomes.
在當(dāng)今飛速變化的全球，萬事都在變化。想在商務(wù)上獲得成功，僅遵循昨天的趨勢是不夠的。公司和人們都需要不斷掌握新的技巧以便在未來的市場上取得成功。這意味著要激發(fā)新的培訓(xùn)能動性以獲得最佳表現(xiàn)。盡管如此，并不是所有的培訓(xùn)都會成功。為了確保培訓(xùn)效果，追蹤結(jié)果并為衡量結(jié)果制定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都是很重要的。

In this podcast, we’ll listen to Andrea, a training manager, describing her function and responsibilities. Afterwards, we’ll study some key vocabulary. Then we’ll practice what we’ve learned.
