Scheduling a Project
对话场景：总经理首先说明目标，然后说明各部门的任务。之后大家讨论项目实施计划。
句型重点：说明任务和时间，寻求建议、帮助，提意见。
Director: As you know, we’ve spent the last week discussing a new launch date for our product. Bob, would you like to tell everyone about the new date?

Bob: Certainly. I’m excited to tell you that the new launch date will be February 25th.

Director: That obviously has implications for each team. Bob, what does that mean for the design team?

Bob: This means that we are not going to be able to make any further changes until after the launch date.

Ed: So what should we do with the proposed changes?

Bob: Good question. I recommend keeping those ideas in a log for later.

Ed: That sounds sensible.

Director: What does that mean for the content team?

Bob: Well, all final content will now have to be ready by the end of the year.

Felix: Will we have any extra resources to help with the final content?

Bob: Yes, Barry in the UD will help with that to make sure we get it completed in time.

Director: If you have any further questions, feel free to come to my office any time.

总经理：正如大家所知，上周我们花了一周来讨论新产品发布日期。鲍勃，你来告诉大家所定的日期好吗？
鲍勃：好的。我很高兴地告诉大家，新产品的发布日期定于2月25日。
总经理：显然，这对每个团队的工作进展都会有影响。鲍勃，对设计部而言，这个日期意味着什么？
鲍勃：这意味着，在产品发布日之前，我们不会再做任何修改。
埃德：那我们应该怎么处理提交的更改意见？
鲍勃：这个问题很好。我建议把那些想法记录下来，以备后用。
埃德：听起来很明智。
总经理：对于内容部而言，又意味着什么？
鲍勃：嗯，意味着今年年底前就得筹备好所有的最终内容。
菲利克斯：有没有一些额外资源能帮助我们敲定最终的内容？
鲍勃：有，为确保我们及时完成任务，在美国的巴里会提供一些帮助。
总经理：如果大家还有什么问题，欢迎随时到我办公室商讨。
