An interview problem
A: Well, I really just have two problems with this.
B: Yes, sir?
A: I’m concerned about your lack of marketing experience and, frankly, your age, you’re pretty new at all this.
B: I can understand that. Let me see if I can clarify some things for you.
面试中的问题
A:嗯,关于这一点我就有两点疑问。
B:什么问题,先生?
A:我所考虑的是你缺乏做市场的经验,并且坦白地讲,还有你的年龄。你在这些方面还完全是个新手。
B:我能理解。让我看看是否能对您说明一些事情。
Solving a problem with bonuses
A: Grant? Can we talk about this bonus plan of yours? I’ve got a few problems with it.
B: Sure, Richard. What’s on your mind?
A: Well, to be honest, I just don’t think we’re going to have enough funds to give the kind of bonuses you have in mind.
B: Well, why don’t we sit down and work out the numbers? We can always scale down the bonuses if we have to.
解决奖金问题
A:格兰特?我们能讨论一下你定的这个奖金方案吗?我有几个问题。
B:当然,理查。你是怎么考虑的?
A:嗯,坦率地说,我只是觉得我们没有那么多的钱来实现你的方案。
B:好,为什么我们不可以坐下来,算一算钱数?如果必要,我们随时可以缩小奖金幅度的。
