一、英文篇
　　In this conversation, Gregory Cosgrove, the CEO of a large telecommunications company, discusses a large-scale reorganization with Gloria Atkinson, his Human Relations manager.
　　Gregory：Gloria, before I officially announce the reorganization, I want your final feedback.
　　Gloria：I’ve gone through the entire plan again, and I’m sure the impact will be minimal, since we’re not planning large-scale firings or lay-offs.

　　Gregory：That was a key objective from the start. Qualified staff holding positions that are being cut will be offered retraining for our new positions. If they accept, they have the job.
　　Gloria：That’s the best policy. Nevertheless, some employees may not want to change career paths in mid-stream, and will probably put in their notice.

　　Gregory：I know, and we have a very fair compensation package for those who decide to quit. Some people can take advantage of our early retirement package. In the odd case, this may be a good opportunity to can non-performers.
　　Gloria：I’ve talked to ER, and there aren’t too many of those any more. Hopefully, we won’t lose people because of the new drug testing regulation, either.

　　Gregory：This reorganization and the new company policies will make us leaner and meaner. Are the new employee contracts ready?
　　Gloria：Yes they are, and all other appropriate forms have been modified. I’ve also set things in motion to revise our orientation process. We’re ready to go!
　　Gregory：Great! I think we’ve covered all the bases. I’ll set up a general meeting for next Monday to make the announcement.

　　二、中文篇：
　　在以下這段對話中，Gregory Cosgrove是一家大型電信公司的首席執行官，而Gloria Atkinson是其人事部的主管。他們正在談論一次大規模的重組計劃。
　　Gregory：Gloria，在我正式宣布重組之前，我想最后再聽一下你的意見。
　　Gloria：我把整個計劃又理了一遍。我肯定這次重組帶來的振蕩會很小。因為我們沒有大規模的解雇或裁員計劃。
　　Gregory：這一開始就是我們的一個重要目標。而且，假如被裁職位上的雇員符合我們的用人要求，我們將向他們提供再培訓的機會以使他們適應我們新崗位的需要。如果他們接受這樣的安排，就仍有工作。
　　Gloria：這真是個不錯的做法。但即便是這樣，可能會有些人不愿 意中途更換工種，他們仍有可能提出辭呈。
　　Gregory：這點我也想到了。我們將給決定辭職的員工一筆相當公道的補償金。有些人還可以領到我們的提早退休金。說不定這還是我們解雇不稱職員工的好機會呢。
　　Gloria：我與雇員關系部談過，這樣的情況已經不再那么多見了。另外，我們希望不要因為這次新的藥檢規定而造成公司人員損失。
　　Gregory：這次重組加上新的公司章程將使我們減輕負擔，提高效率。對了，新的雇用合同準備好了嗎？
　　Gloria：已經準備好了。其他相關的表格也都經過改進了。對熟悉環境步驟的修改也已在著手進行之中。一切都已就緒。
　　Gregory：好極了！我想我們已將方方面面都考慮周全了。下周一我將召開全體大會宣布進行重組。
