22、 expecting savings of around £ 700,000 from the second one.The programmes also form the basis of monthly reviews, in which progress is measured against targets set in the programmes. You can see the results improving each month. Im very pleased with the way it has worked out, says Welch.課文講解 今天

23、要給大家講解有關(guān)teamwork-團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的課文。課文主要內(nèi)容是卡森公司如何在波蘭的子公司開拓團(tuán)隊(duì)合作。我們?cè)陂喿x文章時(shí)要思考卡森公司采取了什么方法，What did Cussons do?并取得了那些收益。What benefits did this bring?No longer Poles apart 不再有兩極之遙/彌合差距。題目是一個(gè)雙關(guān)語(yǔ)（pun）。Pole 的意思是極地，Poles apart是慣用語(yǔ)，基本意思是“完全相反”、“大相徑庭”；同時(shí)，Poles 又是波蘭人的意思。題目利用雙關(guān)，指卡森公司與其新并購(gòu)的波蘭分公司原先在團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，公司管理等方面大相徑庭，但通過培訓(xùn)等一系列措

24、施，雙方彌補(bǔ)了這方面的差異。題目的字面意思是“不再有兩極之遙”，按照意譯的方法，我們可以翻譯為“彌合差距”。（第一段的講解）When Peter Welch, president of Cussons Polska and Uroda SA, arrived at Cussons newly acquired factory in Poland in 1993, he discovered that the concept of teamwork didnt exist. 1993年，當(dāng)卡森波蘭公司和烏諾達(dá)股份有限公司總裁彼得·維奇剛到在波蘭新并購(gòu)的工廠時(shí)，他發(fā)現(xiàn)那兒根本不存在團(tuán)隊(duì)合

25、作的概念。Uroda SA: 烏諾達(dá)股份有限公司。SA是法語(yǔ)，有時(shí)也寫成 S / A或S.A.。意思是“股份有限公司”(Ltd 是 Limited 的縮寫) Limited: 股份有限公司. 。 acquire收購(gòu)：to become the owner of; to buy; to get the possession of acquire原來的意思是“獲得”，“占有”。在商務(wù)英語(yǔ)中，它的意思是“收購(gòu)”。 The guy who ran it before had a queue of people outside his office waiting for decisions on ev

26、erything from taking a days holiday to major investments. All decisions were made by one man. 以前管理這家工廠的人辦公室門外總有一隊(duì)人在等著他作出各種決策，小到放一天假，大到重大投資，所有的決策都由一個(gè)人作。Cussons entered Poland by taking over a manufacturer of cleaning products in Wroclaw. Two years later they bought Warsaw-based Uroda toiletries. 卡森公司

27、是通過并購(gòu)弗羅茨瓦夫的一家洗潔用品廠進(jìn)駐波蘭的。兩年后，他們并購(gòu)了位于華沙的烏諾達(dá)化妝品公司。take over收購(gòu)，接管，接受，to accept responsibility for，接受某種責(zé)任。比如，He took over my debts. 他接收了我的債務(wù)。take over也有控制的意思，to gain control of.：to take over a company接管一家公司，控制了一家公司。toiletry多用復(fù)數(shù)形式，加復(fù)數(shù)變成toiletries，意思是化妝品，比如牙膏（toothpaste），梳子（comb），香水（perfume ），在文章中指生產(chǎn)這類產(chǎn)品的工

28、廠。Turnover increased at Wroclaw from £11m to £ 50m and the smaller Uroda quickly grew into a £ 22 m business. Both businesses are now major brands in Poland and export to other eastern European markets. 弗羅茨瓦夫的營(yíng)業(yè)額從1100萬(wàn)英鎊增加到5000萬(wàn)英鎊；而規(guī)模小一些的烏諾達(dá)公司則迅速成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)營(yíng)業(yè)額達(dá)到2200萬(wàn)英鎊的企業(yè)。目前，這兩家公司的產(chǎn)品都是波蘭的主導(dǎo)

29、品牌，并且出口到其它東歐市場(chǎng)。Turnover: 營(yíng)業(yè)額 a £ 22 m business一個(gè)營(yíng)業(yè)額為萬(wàn)英鎊的企業(yè)。business 做可數(shù)名詞時(shí)，表示“工商企業(yè)，商行，公司”，和 firm, company的意思一樣。例如：The majority of small businesses go broke within the first twenty-four months. 在最初兩年里，大部分小公司都破產(chǎn)了。這一段講了卡森公司在波蘭收購(gòu)了兩家公司，并取得了很大成就，但公司的運(yùn)作是不是一直都很順利呢，我們繼續(xù)課文的內(nèi)容。（第二段的講解）But in spite of thes

30、e successes, it is still hard to develop new approaches. 盡管有這些成就，但要開拓新的工作方法仍然相當(dāng)困難。The company culture here is the result of fifty years of regulation and control. its not easy to get people to take on responsibility and be accountable when things go wrong. The sales department used to be a guy next

31、to the phone waiting for it to ring. 這里的公司文化是50年集權(quán)控制的結(jié)果，要讓人們承擔(dān)責(zé)任或在出現(xiàn)問題時(shí)負(fù)起責(zé)任很不容易。以前的銷售部就是一個(gè)人坐在電話機(jī)旁等候電話鈴響。這段話中有兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)要引起我們的注意，take on responsibility承擔(dān)責(zé)任和 be accountable (to someone for something)就某事情對(duì)某人負(fù)有責(zé)任。Take on 還可以和work搭配。例如：The doctor says that Jim should take on much less heavy work.醫(yī)生說吉姆應(yīng)該少承擔(dān)一些繁重

32、的工作。另外be accountable (to someone for something)這個(gè)短語(yǔ)，也可以說成 be held accountable for，比如：They should be held accountable for their acts.他們應(yīng)該對(duì)自己的行動(dòng)負(fù)責(zé)。但我們也應(yīng)當(dāng)對(duì)自己的行動(dòng)負(fù)責(zé) we should be held accountable for our acts.You will be held accountable for it.你應(yīng)對(duì)此做出解釋。Each government worker is accountable for his own wo

33、rk.每一個(gè)政府工作人員都應(yīng)對(duì)自己的工作負(fù)責(zé)。I am not accountable to you for my work.我沒有義務(wù)要對(duì)你說明我的工作情況。（第三段的講解）To help solve these problems, Cussons brought in three expatriate managers to work closely with the local sales staff in project teams. 為了解決這些問題，卡森公司專門聘請(qǐng)了三位旅居海外的經(jīng)理，同波蘭本地的銷售人員結(jié)成團(tuán)隊(duì)一起工作。Bring in 有“接納，使某人任職”的意思。比如： H

34、e was brought in last year as the direct manager.他去年正式出任總經(jīng)理。Expatriate 是指那些已經(jīng)移居海外，定居海外或已經(jīng)放棄原國(guó)籍的人。如：French expatriate in New York 移居紐約的法國(guó)人。除了聘請(qǐng)海外經(jīng)理，卡森公司還從著名的科佛戴爾公司聘請(qǐng)了資深管理顧問凱恩·埃德蒙來指導(dǎo)團(tuán)隊(duì)的管理技能，改進(jìn)團(tuán)隊(duì)的內(nèi)部交流。They also brought in senior Coverdale management consultant keith Edmonds to work on the teams ma

35、nagerial skills and improve communication within the team. Work on sth 致力于某件事情 work on managerial skills致力于管理技能，我們來看看Google的招聘廣告就用到了work on 這個(gè)詞， We're looking for exceptional people who love to work on innovative products and believe passionately in our mission: to organize the world's infor

36、mation and make it universally accessible and useful.我們?cè)趯で竽切┙艹龅娜?，那些致力于?chuàng)新產(chǎn)品，而且強(qiáng)烈認(rèn)同我們使命的人：組織全世界的信息，讓它們變得有用，而且讓全世界的人都可以接觸到它們， 卡森公司請(qǐng)來了埃德蒙，埃德蒙又是怎樣開展工作的？我們?cè)賮砺犅?。Edmonds held two one-week programmes, working on team-building and developing creative thinking. 埃德蒙主持了兩個(gè)為期一周的活動(dòng)，專門解決如何搞好團(tuán)隊(duì)建設(shè)以及開拓創(chuàng)造性思維。（第四段的講解）埃德蒙

37、說：The imaginative ideas participants came up with were extraordinary electric. 參與者們富有想象力的點(diǎn)子非同尋常，令人興奮。Come up with ideas想出主意。比如這個(gè)例句，He came up with a really elegant solution to our problem.他給我們的問題想出了一個(gè)很棒的解決方案。electric令人激動(dòng)的，和exciting, thrilling 是同義詞。比如 an electric performance. 刺激的表演。埃德蒙認(rèn)為這些項(xiàng)目的作用是幫助他們認(rèn)

38、識(shí)到有各種不同的管理風(fēng)格。He describes the programmes as helping people recognize that there is a range of effective management styles.他說：We wanted to throw new light on old problems. The participants responded very positively. In one task they were given £ 500 and told to make as much profit with it as pos

39、sible.我們想用新眼光來看待老問題，參賽者反應(yīng)十分積極。有一項(xiàng)任務(wù)是給他們500英鎊，要求他們用這筆錢牟取最大的利潤(rùn)。 埃德蒙的話中有一個(gè)重要的短語(yǔ)我們要注意，throw new light on ，提供線索，情況。The new facts throw some light on the matter. 新的事實(shí)給弄清楚這事情提供了線索。throw light on sth. 解釋, 闡明, 使某人明白埃德蒙接著說，They came up with amazing ideas. They put on discos. They went to the Czech border, bou

40、ght products and then sold them at a profit. 他們表演了迪斯科。然后他們來到捷克邊界，買了一些產(chǎn)品又把它們買掉，從中賺了錢。put on discos: 表演迪斯科。Put on 表演。 類似的搭配有：put on a concert 舉行音樂會(huì)。（第五段的講解）Welch believes the programmes were excellent at getting people excited about their jobs. 維奇認(rèn)為這些訓(xùn)練項(xiàng)目對(duì)“調(diào)動(dòng)人們的工作積極性”很有效果。他也警告說： We need to ensure that

41、 what happens on the programmes happen back in the workplace. 我們要保證訓(xùn)練中達(dá)到的效果在工作中也能體現(xiàn)出來。The results, however, are already very positive. 然而，結(jié)果已經(jīng)是非常肯定的了. 維奇又接著說：The two programmes cost us about £ 40,000 in total, including food and accommodation, but the returns we are getting from them are huge.

42、We saved about £ 200,000 from the first programme and we are expecting savings of around £ 700,000 from the second one. 這兩個(gè)培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目總共花去了4萬(wàn)英鎊，包括食宿在內(nèi)，但我們從中得到的回報(bào)是巨大的。第一個(gè)項(xiàng)目就給我們省了20萬(wàn)英鎊，而第二個(gè)項(xiàng)目我們期望能省70萬(wàn)英鎊左右。在這段話中，returns 是“盈利”，“收益”的意思，商務(wù)英語(yǔ)中，return多數(shù)情況下用復(fù)數(shù)。比如：business returns 營(yíng)業(yè)收入；small profits and qu

43、ick returns 薄利多銷；companies seek higher returns by investing in other corporations 一些公司通過向其它股份公司投資謀求更高的利潤(rùn)。注意：returns 在商務(wù)英語(yǔ)中還可以理解為“退貨”的意思，此時(shí)只能用復(fù)數(shù)的形式:He began working on his salesman samples, sorting out broken packages and returns. 他開始整理那些推銷貨樣，把包裝破損的和退回來的撿出來。（第六段的講解）The programmes also form the basis

44、of monthly reviews, in which progress is measured against targets set in the programmes. 在這兩項(xiàng)目的基礎(chǔ)上還形成個(gè)每月一次的評(píng)估，以項(xiàng)目規(guī)定所要達(dá)到的目標(biāo)來衡量實(shí)際進(jìn)展。be measured against 的意思是做比較，衡量。我們?cè)賮砜淳S奇的總結(jié)，看他對(duì)培訓(xùn)是否滿意。You can see the results improving each month. Im very pleased with the way it has worked out,你可以看到結(jié)果每個(gè)月都在進(jìn)步，我對(duì)這項(xiàng)工作的進(jìn)展感

45、到十分滿意。最后，我們回過頭來看節(jié)目開始時(shí)的兩個(gè)問題： How did Cussons develop teamworkin its new Polish subsidiaries and what benefits did it bring?卡森公司怎樣在它的波蘭分公司發(fā)展團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的，并取得了那些收益? 經(jīng)過上邊的學(xué)習(xí)，我們知道：Cussons brought in three expatriate managers to workwith the local sales staff in project teams. 卡森公司聘請(qǐng)了三位旅居海外的經(jīng)理，同波蘭本地的銷售人員結(jié)成團(tuán)隊(duì)一起工作I

46、t also brought in a consultant, who organized two one-week courses, working on team-building and developing creative thinking. 不僅如此，卡森公司還聘請(qǐng)一位管理顧問，主持了兩個(gè)為期一周的活動(dòng)，專門解決如何搞好團(tuán)隊(duì)建設(shè)以及開拓創(chuàng)造性思維。Cussons has seen financial benefits, reporting savings of £ 200,000 from the first course and expected savings of

47、£ 700,000 from the second one. The courses have also allowed the participants to measure progress against targets set on the course and have made people excited about their jobs.因?yàn)檫@些措施，卡森公司在財(cái)務(wù)上有了明顯的收益，第一個(gè)培訓(xùn)課程給他們節(jié)省了20萬(wàn)英鎊，第二個(gè)課程估計(jì)也能節(jié)省70萬(wàn)英鎊左右。此外，這些課程還調(diào)動(dòng)參與者的積極性，讓他們能用規(guī)定的目標(biāo)來衡量實(shí)際的進(jìn)展。P12 para 2,3,5 P24

48、para 3, 5, 6 Unit 2 B Corporate hospitality第二單元 B 商務(wù)接待Mixing business with pleasure 商務(wù)與娛樂相結(jié)合課文講解Diane Summers picks up some tips on how hosts and clients can mix business and pleasure more effectively.戴安娜·薩默爾學(xué)到一些如何把商務(wù)和娛樂更有效地結(jié)合起來的竅門。Pick up 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)是“學(xué)會(huì)，學(xué)到”的意思，比如：She soon picked up French when she w

49、ent to live in France.她到法國(guó)居住后很快就學(xué)會(huì)了法語(yǔ)。另外，pick up還有一個(gè)常見的意思，那就是“接某人”，比如，pick me up at the airport. 在機(jī)場(chǎng)接我。Got a lunch with a client or contact today? Are you sure your objectives of the meal are clear? 您今天是否要與客人或與您有業(yè)務(wù)聯(lián)系的人共進(jìn)午餐？您肯定這頓飯的目標(biāo)明確嗎？contact 做名詞，意思是“熟人，在業(yè)務(wù)上有關(guān)系的人”，“可能有利用價(jià)值的人”“關(guān)系戶”（a person, esp. in

50、 a high position, whom you can use to your knowledge in your work or socially to give you information or instructions ）例如，the contact at city hall 在市政府工作的人。If your answer to the last question is yes-having some nice food and getting to know the other person a little better, you could be in need of a

51、 training course. 如果您對(duì)最后一個(gè)問題的回答是肯定的享用美味食物的同時(shí)，進(jìn)一步了解對(duì)方。您就可能需要一個(gè)培訓(xùn)課程來幫助您提高技巧。 In need of .需要的意思。我們?cè)谇斑叺恼n程就曾經(jīng)講到這個(gè)短語(yǔ)。I am in need of some useful information.我需要一些有用的信息。Fortunately, one is now available. 幸運(yùn)的是?，F(xiàn)在就有這樣一個(gè)課程。available 的意思是可以得到的。比如，a lot free English courses are now available in the internet .現(xiàn)在

52、在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上有很多免費(fèi)的英語(yǔ)課程。available 這個(gè)詞很有用。比如說：I am not available. I am already engaged.不好意思。我已經(jīng)訂婚了。用這句話可以很明確地拒絕那些追求你的人。This course is called influencing in a Social Context, the three-day programme run by Huthwaite, the UK-based training consultants, will give you the knowledge and skills to plan and achieve

53、objectives in a social setting while ensuring that your clients and prospects still enjoy themselves.這個(gè)課程叫“在社交環(huán)境中影響別人”，這個(gè)為期三天的課程由總部設(shè)在英國(guó)的荷士衛(wèi)培訓(xùn)咨詢公司主辦，課程將為您提供在社交環(huán)境中籌劃并達(dá)到商務(wù)目的所需要的知識(shí)和技巧，同時(shí)又保證讓您的客戶和潛在的客戶獲得享受。在這段話中，有兩個(gè)很重要的單詞，第一個(gè)是context: 環(huán)境， 背景， 來龍去脈； 前后關(guān)系.You can often tell the meaning of a word from its c

54、ontext.我們往往可以從一個(gè)字的上下文知道它的意思。Crime has to be studied in its social context.研究犯罪活動(dòng)必須聯(lián)系它們所在的社會(huì)背景。 另外一個(gè)單詞是prospect.這是一個(gè)可數(shù)名詞，意思是“可能的/潛在的顧客”，“委托人或購(gòu)買者”（a potential customer, client, or purchaser）比如：The car salesman talked to several prospects.那汽車銷售員和好幾個(gè)可能成為客戶的人談話。The first thing the course stresses is that

55、 there is no point in taking client to a rugby match if you are hoping to have some one-to-one conversations.課程強(qiáng)調(diào)的第一個(gè)重點(diǎn)是，如果您希望與客戶一對(duì)一的交流，那么帶客戶人去看橄欖球賽就顯得毫無(wú)意義。there is no point in doing sth 做某件事情沒有。There is no point in talking without doing.只說不做沒有任何意義。Instead, use a sporting event or the opera, for exa

57、的手段。Arrange 安排的意思，I have arranged that one of my staff will meet you at the airport. 我已經(jīng)安排好派一個(gè)職員到飛機(jī)場(chǎng)接你。intimate 親切，親密的意思。She was accused of being intimate with several men.有人說她與幾個(gè)男人關(guān)系曖昧.Another common mistake many businesses make is to send staff to corporate events without telling them why they are

58、 there or what they should do. 很多企業(yè)常犯的一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤是尚未使員工明確為何參加以及如何參加社交活動(dòng)就讓他們出席了企業(yè)活動(dòng)。Business 可以是“企業(yè)”的意思，是可數(shù)名詞，在前邊的課件就講過這個(gè)詞。It is not surprising that they see this as a chance simply to stand around having free drinks on the company and chatting to each other rather than talking to clients.
