Speaker Two
第二位发言人。
Man: It's gone fairly well. I mean, it was never going to be straightforward, shifting an operation of this size somewhere completely different. Anyway, it had to be done, because so much of the shopfloor was empty. We just didn't require that sort of area for the equipment. The suppliers seem to have adapted well.
男子:一切都很顺利。我的意思是,把一个大规模的企业转移到一个完全不同的地方,从来不是一件简单的事情。无论如何,这是必须要做的事情,因为太多的车间是闲置的。我们只是不需要那么大的空间来放置设备。供应商们似乎适应得很好。
Productivity is up, the managers are happy, the facilities aren't perfect, but they'll do. What we didn't do was to properly predict how many new operatives we'll be needing, and that does mean that the ones we have got are having to do far too much overtime to make up the shortfall. Still, I hope the new adverts will attract a new wave of applications.
现在生产率提升了,经理们也很满意,虽然设施并不完美,但是还过得去。我们没有正确的预测我们需要多少新员工。这确实意味着,我们现有的这些员工不得不加班加点,以弥补短缺。尽管如此,我还是希望新广告能吸引一波新的求职者。
