情景对话二。 Qíngjǐng duìhuà èr. Situational dialogue two.
你有没有听说一些关于新管理层的传言？ Nǐ yǒu méiyǒu tīng shuō yīxiē guānyú xīn guǎnlǐ céng de chuányán? Have you heard the rumor about the new management?
没有。什么传言？ Méiyǒu. Shénme chuányán? No. What is it?
听说新管理层上任是为了降低成本。他们打算缩减一些部门。 Tīng shuō xīn guǎnlǐ céng shàngrèn shì wèile jiàngdī chéngběn. Tāmen dǎsuàn suōjiǎn yīxiē bùmén. It’s heard they were brought in to cut costs. They’re going to be reducing some of the departments.
那意味着要裁员了。 Nà yìwèizhe yào cáiyuánle. That means firing people.
是啊。我想知道那些人会被炒。 Shì a. Wǒ xiǎng zhīdào nàxiē rén huì bèi chǎo. Exactly. I wonder who will get the cut.
我敢肯定营销部会炒掉很多人。 Wǒ gǎn kěndìng yíngxiāo bùhuì chǎo diào hěnduō rén. I’m sure the marketing section will get cut pretty hard.
我也这样认为。那个部门人太多了，许多人对工作都是应付了事。 Wǒ yě zhèyàng rènwéi. Nàgè bùmén rén tài duōle, xǔduō rén duì gōngzuò dōu shì yìng fù liǎo shì. I agree. That section is too big and a lot of the workers take their jobs for granted.
什么时候才有确切的消息呢？ Shénme shíhòu cái yǒu quèqiè de xiāoxī ne? I wonder when we’ll know for sure.
可能要过几个星期。新管理层得花点时间对公司进行评估。 Kěnéng yàoguò jǐ gè xīngqí. Xīn guǎnlǐ céng dé huā diǎn shíjiān duì gōngsī jìnxíng pínggū. It will probably be a few weeks from now. The new mangement will have to evaluate the company for a little bit.
也许他们已经完成了评估。 Yěxǔ tāmen yǐjīng wánchéngle pínggū. Maybe they’ve already done that.
有可能。如果是这样，我们很快会听到裁员的消息了。 Yǒu kěnéng. Rúguǒ shì zhèyàng, wǒmen hěn kuài huì tīng dào cáiyuán de xiāoxīle. That’s possible. If so, we’ll be hearing about it soon.
不过，我认为我们的工作还是有保障的。 Bùguò, wǒ rènwéi wǒmen de gōngzuò háishì yǒu bǎozhàng de. I think our jobs are safe, though.
是的。我们比大多数人都更称职。 Shì de. Wǒmen bǐ dà duōshù rén dōu gèng chènzhí. I’m sure they are. We’re more qualified that most people here.
也许裁掉一些人对公司会有好处的。 Yěxǔ cái diào yīxiē rén duì gōngsī huì yǒu hǎo chǔ de. Maybe some cuts will be good for the company.
没错。那我们等着瞧吧。 Méi cuò. Nà wǒmen děngzhe qiáo ba. They could be good. We’ll just have to wait and see.
