商務英語口語視頻 (初級)131 Dealing With Conflict

So, Neil, I understand you want to talk about the new rule,...

Isobel

...asking employees to stop eating lunch in the meeting rooms.

Neil

Yes. We're all rather upset about it, really.

Neil

The break room is so small,...

Neil

...there's only room for four people at most.

Isobel

I can see your point of view, Neil,...

Isobel

...but there's nothing we can do about that.

Isobel

We can't let people eat in the meeting rooms.

Isobel

We need those for client meetings.

Neil

Still, employees need a place to sit down during their lunch break.

Neil

There aren't any parks nearby for us to go to.

Neil

It's not fair, Isobel.

Isobel

I suppose you're right about that.

Isobel

This area is not as convenient as the old office.

Isobel

What if we allowed employees to eat at their desks?

Isobel

Would that help?

Neil

That might work.

Neil

I'll bring it up tomorrow at the staff meeting.
