辦公室英語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話

　　在職場(chǎng)中，大家都對(duì)Message和Note比較熟悉，但是談到備忘錄Memo的時(shí)候大家往往會(huì)將其與前面的兩個(gè)單詞搞混。Memo在中文中有兩個(gè)解釋，除了表示錄以備忘的公文之外，還在美國(guó)往往還用來(lái)表達(dá)公司的內(nèi)部通知。

　　備忘錄有哪些類型呢?一般來(lái)說(shuō)備忘錄(Memo)分為告知信息類、布置安排類、征求意見(jiàn)類、詢問(wèn)信息類、求職申請(qǐng)類以及推薦建議類。下面我們就通過(guò)一則情景對(duì)話來(lái)看一則關(guān)于告知信息類的備忘錄。

　　A: Ms. Dawson, I need you to take a dictation for me.

　　A：道森小姐，我想讓你給做一下記錄。

　　B: Yes, sir…

　　B：好的，老板。

　　A: This should go out as an intra-office memorandum to all employees by this afternoon. Are you ready?

　　A：這是今天下午之前發(fā)給所有職工的內(nèi)部文件。準(zhǔn)備好了嗎?

　　B: Yes, sir. Go head.

　　B：好了，老板。您說(shuō)吧。

　　A: Attention all staff…Effective immediately, all office communications are restricted to email correspondence and official memos. The use of Instant Message programs by employees during working hours is strictly prohibited.

　　A：全體員工請(qǐng)注意……請(qǐng)立即執(zhí)行：所有辦公室的聯(lián)系僅限于電子郵件和正式的備忘錄。上班時(shí)間嚴(yán)禁使用即時(shí)通信系統(tǒng)。

　　B: Sir, does this apply to intra-office communications only? Or will it also restrict external communications?

　　B：老板，這僅限于辦公室內(nèi)部通行嗎?還是也包括外部通信?

　　A: It should apply to all communications, not only in this office between employees, but also any outside communications.

　　A：所有的通信都應(yīng)該包括在內(nèi)，不僅是辦公室的員工之間，還包括所有對(duì)外聯(lián)系。

　　B: But sir, many employees use Instant Messaging to communicate with their clients.

　　B：可是老板，很多員工都用即時(shí)通信系統(tǒng)與客戶聯(lián)系。

　　A: They will just have to change their communication methods. I don’t want anyone using Instant Messaging in this office. It wastes too much time! Now, please continue with the memo. Where were we?

　　A：他們只需要改變一下聯(lián)系方法。我不想要任何人在這個(gè)辦公室使用即時(shí)通信系統(tǒng)，太浪費(fèi)時(shí)間了!現(xiàn)在，請(qǐng)繼續(xù)往下寫(xiě)備忘錄。我們剛剛說(shuō)到哪兒了?

　　B: “This applies to internal and external communications…”

　　B：“這包括內(nèi)部和外部聯(lián)系……”

　　A: Yes. Any employee who persists in using Instant Messaging will first receive a warning and be placed on probation. At second offense, the employee will face termination. Any questions regarding this new policy may be directed to department heads.

　　A：是的。任何堅(jiān)持使用即時(shí)通信系統(tǒng)的人，如果是初犯就會(huì)受到警告，然后試用一段時(shí)間。如果是第二次犯，這個(gè)人就會(huì)被解雇。有關(guān)這一新政策的問(wèn)題可以直接向部門主管反映。

　　B: Is that all?

　　B：就這些嗎?

　　A: Yes. Please get this memo typed up and distributed to all employees before 4 pm.

　　A：就這些。請(qǐng)把這份備忘錄打印出來(lái)，在下午四點(diǎn)以前分發(fā)給所有員工。
