商務(wù)英語(yǔ)播客第119課:口頭匯報(bào)工作進(jìn)展

All managers need written progress reports from their staff, but it is often necessary to make a verbalprogress report during a meeting. A verbal report can be thought of as a combination of a presentationand a question and answer session. 所有的經(jīng)理都要從日常的資料中寫(xiě)進(jìn)展報(bào)告，但是口頭的匯報(bào)也是必不可少的。一個(gè)口頭報(bào)告包括陳述和問(wèn)答環(huán)節(jié)。

When making a progress report, you' ll need to start with the overall status of the project, and then go on to explain how much of the work has been completed, at what stage the work is now, what remains to be done and, of course, what problems might have arisen. Because the format is "live", people may interrupt to ask questions or make comments and you should be sure of your facts when you go into the meeting. 當(dāng)寫(xiě)進(jìn)程報(bào)告的時(shí)候，你首先應(yīng)該寫(xiě)項(xiàng)目的整體狀態(tài);然后說(shuō)明一下工作完成了多少，工作已經(jīng)進(jìn)行到哪一步了，還有多少?zèng)]有完成;當(dāng)然還有可能產(chǎn)生的問(wèn)題。因?yàn)樾蝿?shì)是活潑的，人們可能會(huì)打斷問(wèn)些問(wèn)題，或者做出點(diǎn)評(píng)，你需要做的就是當(dāng)你進(jìn)行報(bào)告的時(shí)候保證你所說(shuō)的是真實(shí)的。

We' ll be listening to Angela, who works in the Operations department of her company. Blaine & Co. They plan to move to a new head office and the renovation, or preparation, of their space is currently underway. Angela has visited the new office and spoken with the key people on-site. As the dialog starts, she is called upon to give a verbal report on the progress of the renovation. 我們將聽(tīng)到的是安吉拉，她在布萊恩公司的操作部門(mén)里工作。他們計(jì)劃搬到新的公司總部，新的工作環(huán)境目前正在準(zhǔn)備和革新中。安吉拉去過(guò)公司新的辦公處，并在網(wǎng)上和主要的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人進(jìn)行了交流。在對(duì)話(huà)的開(kāi)始，她須要做個(gè)口頭的工作進(jìn)展匯報(bào)。
