Colleague:
Hey, Benjamin, have you finished your report on the project?
喂,本杰明,你的述职报告写完了吗?
Benjamin:
Not yet. To tell you the truth, I don't know how to write it. I've considered it for several days.
还没有呢。事实上,我不知道怎么写,我都想了几天了。
Colleague:
What? Man, you don't know how to write a project report? That's sounds a little bit ridiculous.
什么?兄弟,你连述职报告都不知道怎么写?这听起来太荒谬了。
Benjamin:
Don't laugh at me, please. I'm serious. I've never been required to write this kind of report before; I only do the research reports.
别嘲笑我了。我是认真的。我以前从来没有被要求写这种报告,我只写研究报告。
Colleague:
Oh, sorry, I've totally forgotten that you are a workaholic.
噢,对不起,我完全忘了你是个工作狂。
Benjamin:
So what items must be involved in this report?
那这个报告需要包括哪些方面呢?
Colleague:
First is your final conclusion on your work of this year, and then comes your plan for the next year.
首先是对你今年的工作的总结,然后是关于下一年的工作计划。
Benjamin:
Yeah, is that all?
好的,完了吗?
Colleague:
Let me see, no, you have to include more details about your final conclusion, for example, your experiences in dealing with some emergent events.
让我想想,还有,你还得将你的总结写详细点,比如说你得包括处理紧急事件的经验。
Benjamin:
That's too complicated.
这太繁琐了。
Colleague:
And only that doesn't make a perfect one, you also have to pay attention to the format of the report.
而且还没有完,你还得注意你报告的格式。
Benjamin:
Oh, my God, is there any fixed for mat for it-the one that I just need to fix my information in?
噢,天哪,有固定的格式吗?我只需要把我的信息填进去就可以了。
Colleague:
I'm sorry. There isn't. Because different people have to write different kinds of reports.
抱歉,没有。因为不同的人要写不同形式的报告。
Benjamin:
But I don't know how to work the Microsoft Words. Could you please give me a hand?
但是我不会操作Word文档啊。你能帮一下我吗?
Colleague:
OK, no problem. But you have to learn it and then do it yourself next time.
好的,没有问题。但是你得学,下次就你自己做了。
Benjamin:
I surely will. Thanks.
我会的,谢谢。
