商务英语中级口语指导:谈判篇

来源:考试网   2011-12-01【

  A: labor relations have been getting heated over the last few days. There's even talk of a strike if contract negotiations don't go smoothly. B: I would hate to see the negotiations go sour, because the last thing we need is more trouble from the labor union. What do they want this time?

    A: they are demanding another raise for full-time employees and more vacation days. They claim there's an increase of work-related stress, so there ought to be some kind of compensation for higher perssure on the job. B: hasn't it always been stressful? Why make demands now?

    A: with cutbacks after the recession, there is more workload per employee, so in actuality they do have more stress now than in the past. I just don't know if it warrants a pay raise foe everyone. B: I guess the labor union seems to think so.最近这些日子劳资关系越来越紧张。有传闻说如果合同谈判不能顺利进行就会举行罢工。

    我不愿意看到谈判失败,因为我们最不想要的就是公会给我们带来太多的麻烦。这次他们想要干什么?

    他们要求给全日制的工人在增加一次工资,增加更多的假期。他们,声称工作压力越来越大,所以应该对工作带来的高压给予某种补偿。

    共组不是一直都很紧张吗?为什么现在才提出要求。

    由于萧条期之后进行了人员裁减,每个员工的工作量就更大了。所以事实上他们比过去的压力更大。我只是知道这是否就是给大家加薪的正当理由。

    我想公会也这么认为。

    Heated: of a person or discussion 人或讨论 full of anger and excitement 愤怒的;激烈的;十分激动的a heated argument/debate激烈的争论/辩论She became very heated.她不禁怒火中烧。Smoothly: without problems or difficulties 顺利地The interview went smoothly.面谈进展顺利。
