Miss Lewis: Well, we've finally put the finishing touches on the training programs for next year. Here's a report showing the projected costs as well as the expected return on investment. 　我們明年的培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目策劃已經(jīng)接近尾聲了，這是關(guān)于預(yù)期投入和預(yù)期投資回報(bào)的報(bào)告。

　GM: Return on investment? How can you have a return on this kind of investment? Can you really calculate the value of these training programs?

　投資回報(bào)?這種投資怎么會(huì)有回報(bào)?你真的能算出培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目的價(jià)值嗎?

　Miss Lewis: Sure! It's not a real figure, of course. It's just an estimate based on rehiring costs, and the potential lost revenue that results from incompetence.

　當(dāng)然算過(guò),不過(guò)不是確切數(shù)字.而是根據(jù)雇傭新員工的成本和員工的不熟練造成的潛在虧損作的估計(jì)。

　GM: Wow! I'm impressed. So, what's in the cards for future training? Will it be in-house or off-site?

　噢,不錯(cuò).未來(lái)的培訓(xùn)是怎樣的形式?就在公司內(nèi)進(jìn)行還是去其它地方學(xué)習(xí)?

　Miss Lewis: A little of both. We'll have a few daylong sessions for things like business writing skills and software training. Those are available to everyone. We also have a variety of other programs based on each department's needs.

　都有一些.我們采用整日課程來(lái)進(jìn)行商務(wù)寫(xiě)作和軟件操作一類的培訓(xùn).每個(gè)人都可以參加.我們還針對(duì)各個(gè)部門安排了多種多樣的課程。報(bào)關(guān)員考試

　GM: Yes, I see that here ... continuing education for the IT department, a time management course for accounting, and team building for sales. Anything planned for HR?

　我看到了,對(duì)IT部進(jìn)行再教育,財(cái)務(wù)部是"時(shí)間管理"課程,銷售部進(jìn)行團(tuán)隊(duì)建設(shè)培訓(xùn).有沒(méi)有針對(duì)人力資源部的培訓(xùn)?

　Miss Lewis: A holiday, I hope! No, really, we are looking into some courses on motivational techniques. We'll add them to the list when we choose a lecturer.

　我希望給人事部的是一個(gè)假期.開(kāi)個(gè)玩笑,我們正在考慮激勵(lì)技巧的培訓(xùn).選好教師后,就把它們列入項(xiàng)目。
