文字稿

Paul
Could I have a word, Anna, in my office?

Narrator
大家好，欢迎回到 “白领英语” 节目。不知道 Paul 会对 Anna 说些什么。是会和 Rachel 那个偷笔的员工有关吗？还是谈 “饼干”？Let's find out.

Paul
Have a seat… So well done for speaking to her. Stealing all those pens from the office was the final straw.

Anna
She was stealing straws?

Paul
No, no. It was the final thing that she did wrong, and it meant disciplinary action. I've had to let her go, in other words, sack her.

Anna
Oh, so she's gone. But what is Mr Socrates going to say? She was his best employee.

Paul
Leave it with me. I’m sure he'll understand…I hope. Now, I wanted to speak to you about your appraisal.

Anna
My appraisal?

Paul
Yes, we do it every year. It's a chance to talk about you, talk about the highs and lows of the past year and look forward.

Anna
Highs and lows? But I haven't been walking up any hills.

Narrator
不是的，安娜！他的意思是对你的工作进行评估，看看过去一年成绩怎样，下一年的目标是什么。

Anna
I see. But what are 'objectives'?

Narrator
这个意思是你的预期目标，能够提高你的工作表现，帮助公司的发展。 在做评估的时候我们经常会听到这样的提问：What has gone well for you this year? 过去一年哪些事情你觉得做得很顺利？

What didn't go so well? 哪些事情不顺利？

What should you do more of? 你应该多做些什么？

Let's look ahead and set some objectives. 让我们向前看，设定一些具体的目标。

Anna
Right. Thanks. So, Paul, when shall we have this, err, appraisal?

Paul
If you've time, we could make a start now?

Anna
Oh, OK. So I need to think about my performance first?

Paul
Exactly. What has gone well for you this year?

Anna
Well, I guess, I've just done my job.

Narrator
安娜，这可是你好好推荐自己的机会。说说你争取到的订单，你的人事管理方式等等。

Anna
Right. Well, I did complete two big contracts for the Imperial Lemon…

Paul
You've had plenty of compliments for that. You seem to have a zest for selling!

Anna
Err, right… and then there was dealing with Mr Ingle in the warehouse.

Paul
Yes, that's a good example of dealing with difficult staff. And what didn't go so well?

Anna
Well… erm… working with Rachel… and cold-calling, I suppose. That wasn’t easy.

Paul
Ah, yes. But you soon warmed up! And what should you do more of?

Anna
Err, erm…

Narrator
嗯，这个问题不好答，但别担心，有时候你需要承认自己不足的地方，世上没有完人！想想哪些方面你想提高的。

Anna
Oh, OK. Well, Paul, I guess I could… develop some ideas for new products? Continue to work on the European marketing strategy... sell more Imperial Lemons… erm…

Paul
That's enough, Anna! If you do all that, you'll put me out of a job!

Anna
Oh, I don't want to do that!

Paul
Now, let's look ahead and set some objectives. Biscuit?

Anna
Biscuits as an objective? Oh, I see… no, thanks.

Paul
We've all got to improve our sales targets, so I'm asking all the team to make an extra ten sales deals this year.

Anna
Oh, ten, that's a lot.

Paul
It is, but I know you can do it. And you mentioned developing new products, well, I'd like you to do just that, but not plastic fruit. I'd like you to develop a plastic vegetable. Potato, carrot, that sort of thing.

Anna
Gosh. Well, OK.

Paul
Oh, and one more thing. Could you help Denise sort out the stationery cupboard? It's a right mess.

Narrator
Wow, 设定了这么多的目标，下一年可够安娜忙得了。工作评估是一个好机会，让员工都有机会回顾一下过去一年的工作成绩，以及设定下一年的目标。 让我们再听听领导可能会提出的一些问题。

What has gone well for you this year? Give me some examples.

What didn't go so well?

What should you do more of?

Let's look ahead and set some objectives.

Paul
So, if you could write up your appraisal and have it back to me by Friday?

Anna
Of course, Paul. Thanks. See you later.

Tom
Oh, hi, Anna. Are you still on for dinner on Friday?

Anna
Yes, Tom!

Anna
What's going on?!

Denise
A mouse… a mouse! I've just seen a mouse running out of the stationery cupboard.

Tom
Was he stealing pens?!

Denise
It's no joke. Quick… there he goes!

Tom
Leave him to me! Oh… oww!

Anna
Tom… Tom? Are you OK?

Narrator
Uh-oh. Tom 发生什么事情了？他摔坏东西了吗？我们下期节目再继续。Bye!
