| A | 今年公司预算的重点是削减开支。你们销售部是花钱大户，有什么计划？ |
| jīnnián gōngsī yùsuàn de zhòngdiǎn shì xuējiǎn kāizhī. nǐmen xiāoshòu bù shì huāqián dàhù, yǒu shénme jìhuà? |
| The main focus of our budget this year is reducing expenditures. You guys in sales are the big spenders. What's your plan? |
|
|
| B | 顾总监，经济越不好，我们越要主动出击。所以销售部今年的预算稍微增加了一点。 |
| Gù zǒngjiān, jīngjì yuè bù hǎo, wǒmen yuè yào zhǔdòng chūjī. suǒyǐ xiāoshòu bù jīnnián de yùsuàn shāowēi zēngjiā le yīdiǎn. |
| Chief Inspector Gu, the worse the economy gets, the more pro-active we need to be. So the sales department's budget increased a bit this year. |
|
|
| A | 什么？增加？现在这种经济状况，公司不可能批。 |
| shénme? zēngjiā? xiànzài zhèzhǒng jīngjì zhuàngkuàng, gōngsī bù kěnéng pī. |
| What? It increased? In this kind of economic environment, the company really can't approve this. |
|
|
| B | 可是我们不能保守等死。我需要更大的销售团队，不仅要守住老客户，更要大力开拓新客户。 |
| kěshì wǒmen bùnéng bǎoshǒu děng sǐ. wǒ xūyào gèng dà de xiāoshòu tuánduì, bùjǐn yào shǒuzhù lǎo kèhù, gèng yào dàlì kāituò xīn kèhù. |
| But we can't just sit tight and wait for our doom. I need an even bigger sales team. We don't just need to keep our old clients-- even more, we need to get new clients! |
|
|
| A | 你招聘新销售我不管，但是差旅费、招待费要砍。以后能坐火车就坐火车，宾馆住三星的。招待费用一律提前报给我审批。 |
| nǐ zhāopìn xīn xiāoshòu wǒ bù guǎn, dànshì chāilǚfèi, zhāodàifèi yào kǎn. yǐhòu néng zuò huǒchē jiù zuò huǒchē, bīnguǎn zhù sānxīng de. zhāodài fèiyòng yīlǜ tíqián bào gěi wǒ shěnpī. |
| I don't care if you hire new salespeople. But we need to cut travel and hospitality expenses. In the future, take the train if you can, and stay in three-star hotels. Tell me about all hospitality fees in advance so that I can examine and approve them. |
|
|
| B | 切，站着说话不腰疼。省钱谁不会啊？有本事你来赚钱！ |
| qiē, zhàn zhe shuōhuà bù yāoténg. shěngqián shéi bùhuì a? yǒu běnshì nǐ lái zhuànqián! |
| Pssshhh...talk is cheap. Who can't save money? If you have the skills, come make money! |
|
|
| C | 顾总监，今年我们市场部预算已经吃紧了，没法再减了。 |
| Gù zǒngjiān , jīnnián wǒmen shìchǎng bù yùsuàn yǐjīng chījǐn le, méifǎ zài jiǎn le. |
| Chief Inspector Gu, the marketing department's budget this year is already really tight. There's no way to reduce it any further. |
|
|
| A | 我看不是吧。比如广告这块，只保留投资回报率最高的两种媒介，其它都取消。展会也不要参加了，浪费钱。 |
| wǒ kàn bù shì ba. bǐrú guǎnggào zhè kuài, zhǐ bǎoliú tóuzī huíbào lǜ zuì gāo de liǎng zhǒng méijiè, qítā dōu qǔxiāo. zhǎnhuì yě bùyào cānjiā le, làngfèi qián. |
| That's not how I see it. Take ads, for example. Only keep the two kinds of media that give the best return on investment. Get rid of the others. We also don't want to go to any more exhibitions. They're a waste of money. |
|
|
| C | 这...... |
| zhè...... |
| This... |
|
|
| A | 好了，到人力资源部。 |
| hǎo le, dào rénlì zīyuán bù. |
| OK, next up: Human Resources. |
|
|
| D | 顾总监，今年我们取消校园招聘，而且冻结员工薪酬。 |
| Gù zǒngjiān, jīnnián wǒmen qǔxiāo xiàoyuán zhāopìn, érqiě dòngjié yuángōng xīnchóu. |
| Chief Inspector Gu, we're canceling on-campus recruiting this year, and we're freezing employee salaries. |
|
|
| A | 嗯，可以。我看看还有什么能减的？节日补贴不要了。 |
| ng4, kěyǐ. wǒ kàn kan hái yǒu shénme néng jiǎn de? jiérì bǔtiē bù yào le. |
| Hmm...OK. Is there anything else we can reduce? No more holiday subsidies. |
|
|
| D | 好吧。不过我建议午餐补贴保留。否则感觉公司太小气了。 |
| hǎo ba. bùguò wǒ jiànyì wǔcān bǔtiē bǎoliú. fǒuzé gǎnjué gōngsī tài xiǎoqì le. |
| Umm...alright. But I recommend we keep the lunch subsidy. Otherwise, it'll feel like the company is being too stingy. |
|
|
| A | 可以保留，但是要降低标准。现在是十块钱吧，以后五块就够了。 |
| kěyǐ bǎoliú, dànshì yào jiàngdī biāozhǔn. xiànzài shì shí kuàiqián ba, yǐhòu wǔ kuài jiù gòu le. |
| We can keep it. But we need to lower the standard. It's ten kuai now, right? In the future, five kuai will be plenty. |
|
|
| B | 啊，那吃什么呀？ |
| á, nà chī shénme ya? |
| Agh? Then what will we eat? |
|
