【kaka礼节美语】115 外包业务 2

听力简介：

公司执行总裁Dave召集董事会成员Helen和Pete开会，讨论业务外包和公司重组。

H: I guess one of the biggest questions here is how the general public might perceive these moves. Will we face a backlash for cutting some local jobs and moving some operations abroad?

P: Yes, ---1---. We will need to do some damage

control and try to explain as best as possible the reasoning behind our decision.

D: ---1---.

Helen担心公司业务外包，裁减员工，会引起社会反响，face a backlash。Pete也表示，媒体很可能会有负面报道， negative press, 因此要尽量控制不良影响， do some damage control。执行总裁 Dave表示，会和公关部门讨论，告诉他们如何回答媒体的问询。

P: The logic is pretty simple; either we make some needed cuts or the company risks going under and even more jobs will be lost.

D: We also want to be responsible players here. ---3---.

H: The companies that we plan on contracting to work for us have all been vetted by an independent auditor, right?

D: Yes, and they all passed with flying colors.

Pete表示，公司重组理由很简单，不裁员公司就可能破产，the company risks going under。Dave建议为遣散员工提供就业咨询，job counseling，遣散费也多给点，be generous with severance packages. Severance packages是遣散员工时给的补贴。Helen问，外包公司是否都已经通过了独立审计单位的审查， vet，是审查的意思。Dave表示，审查结果非常好，to pass with flying colors，意思是成功通过考查。

D: The law says sub-contracted firms must follow some basic guidelines such as ---4---, etc. If they're not up to snuff, they have a certain number of days to rectify the situation. Otherwise, we have to find another firm.

H: So it's decided then. ---5---.

P: Looks like it's a unanimous decision.

D: Thank you all for understanding. I'll write up a memo explaining this decision to everyone and send it out in a couple of days.

H and P: Sounds good.

D: All right, then. This meeting is adjourned.

Dave表示，法律规定，如果分包公司达不到基本要求，if they're not up to snuff, 必须在特定时间内改正to rectify the situation。 Up to snuff, snuff, 意思是合格的，符合标准的。

最后三人举手表决，同意将财会和网站管理业务外包。It's a unanimous decision. 决定一致通过。Dave准备写一份备忘录，几天后宣布。
