在涉外商务往来中,我们常常需要向合作方介绍公司的相关部门,例如部门的构成、职责、运作方式等。有时候,我们也会向新入职的同事介绍各部门分工。在充分了解该部门的基础上,同样需要流利、清晰的语言表达。下面,让我们一起开启新的学习,“精读”部门介绍的实用会话吧!
对
话
Cathy: Allan, welcome to CHC. I hope you will be happy working here. I'll show you around the office and introduce you to some of your colleagues.
Allan: Thank you. That would be nice. Where are we now?
Cathy: We're in the Household Care Global Business Unit offices.
Allan: How is the unit structured?
Cathy: Well, as you know, Household Care includes major brands such as Bess, and Joy.
Allan: So, there's a divisional structure, right?
Cathy: Yes. Each section is responsible for its brand's production, promotion and sales. As the administrative assistant, you'll soon get to understand how it works.
Allan: Are the other units structured in the same way?
Cathy: Basically, yes. However, some employees in the HR Department have been allocated to take care of the personnel management in each unit.
Allan: I see, so they're not entirely separate, are they?
Cathy: No.
Allan: Who is the Director of the Household Care Unit?
Cathy: It's Mr. Andrew. But you'll report to the Admin. Manager. You met him at your interview. I'll introduce you to Mr. Andrew though. Oh, here he comes…
凯西:艾伦,欢迎加入CHC。希望你在这里能够工作愉快。我来带你在办公室转转,并给你介绍一些同事。
艾伦:太好了,谢谢您。我们现在在哪里?
凯西:我们在家庭护理全球事业部的办公室。
艾伦:这个事业部是如何构成的?
凯西:嗯,你知道,家庭护理包括一些大品牌,比如说贝思和乔伊。
艾伦:所以,是事业部型结构,对吗?
凯西:是的。每个部门都负责其品牌的生产、推广和销售。作为行政助理,你很快就会了解它的运作方式。
艾伦:其他事业部也是这样的结构吗?
凯西:基本上是的。不过,人力资源部的一些员工被分派到各个事业部进行人事管理。
艾伦:我明白了,所以他们并不是完全分开的,对吗?
凯西:对,不是完全分开的。
艾伦:家庭护理事业部的负责人是谁呢?
凯西:是安德鲁先生。但是你要向行政经理报告工作。你在面试时见过他,不过我会向安德鲁先生介绍你。哦,他来了……
