Man：Oh yes, it's just the sort of challenge I need.

Something to get my teeth into, and the chance to use what I learnt when I was in Export Sales before.
这是我的兴趣所在，也是运用我以前从事出口销售时学到的东西的机会。
But there are other people who've stayed in the department who might resent me going back into it over them.
但是有一些其他还在这个部门的人可能不喜欢我回来，职位高过他们。
Woman: Well, surely if you work closely with them, they'll realise you're all right?
女：当然，如果你和他们紧密合作的话，他们会发现你还挺好的吧？
Man: Yes, I'm sure I can do it. I just need to get things off on the right foot right from the beginning.
男：是的，我确定我可以做好。我只需要一开始把事情做好。
Woman：So will you be involved in the TV advertising campaign that Keith talked about?
女：所以你会参与凯斯提到的电视广告活动吗？
Man：I Hope not! It's all very well promoting our cabinet furniture brands,
男：我希望不要！广告对于推广我们的柜类家具品牌效果很好，
but I think the money would be better spent on pushing bed sales：that's the side of the business that needs more consumer awareness.
但是，我认为资金用在促进床产品的销售会更好：这是我们需要增加消费者意识的业务方面。
Woman：Right. I can see why they've picked this time to plan a campaign, as advertising costs are relatively low at the moment,
女：对。我知道他们为什么选这个时间来计划一场活动了，因为现在的广告成本相对较低，
but I agree, they haven't got the plan quite right. Actually I'm not very happy about the way they've allocated money in general.

男：你不会拒绝涨薪的对吗？
Woman：No, I'm not that idealistic. And of course it's right to spend money on new products and machinery.
女：不会，我没有那么理想主义。当然，把资金用在新产品和机器上是正确的。
But we've been asking for ages for better facilities for the factory workers in particular, and it doesn't look as though much is being done for them.
但我们一直在要求为工厂工人提供更好的设施，而且似乎并没有为他们做多少。
Man：Maybe if we keep pressing for that...
男：也许如果我们一直在这方面施加压力的话...
