Chinese Work

由于意想不到的财务困难，公司决定裁掉三分之一的员工。

Yóu yú yì xiǎng bù dào de cáiwù kùnnan, gōngsī juédìng cáidiào sān fēn zhī yī de yuángōng.

The company decided to cut the workforce by a third, citing unexpected financial difficulties.

我们应该在下周向董事会提交最终报告之前，把数据再核对一遍。

Wǒmen yīnggāi zài xià zhōu xiàng dǒngshìhuì tíjiāo zuìzhōng bàogào zhīqián, bǎ shùjù zài héduì yī biàn.

We should run the numbers again before presenting the final report to the board next week.

他们建议立即将运营规模缩减百分之五十，真是一针见血。

Tāmen jiànyì lìjí jiāng yùnyíng guīmó suōjiǎn bǎi fēn zhī wǔ shí, zhēn shi yī zhēn jiàn xiě。

They hit the nail on the head when they suggested scaling back the operation by fifty percent immediately.

我已经在这个项目上花了很多时间了。

Wǒ yǐjīng zài zhège xiàngmù shàng huāle hěn duō shíjiānle。

I’ve already put in so much time on this project.

如果我们要将业务拓展到整个大陆，这将是一笔七位数的投资。

Rúguǒ wǒmen yào jiāng yèwù tuòzhǎn dào zhěnggè dàlù, zhè jiāng shì yī bǐ qī wèishù de tóuzī。

We're looking at a seven-figure investment if we want to expand operations across the continent.

你今晚打算几点下班？

Nǐ jīn wǎn dǎsuàn jǐ diǎn xiàbān?

What time are you planning on getting off work tonight?

演示文稿需要在今天下班前提交。

Yǎnshì wéngǎo xūyào zài jīntiān xiàbān qián tíjiāo.

The presentation is due by the end of the business day.

会议能往后推半个小时吗？

Huìyì néng wǎng hòu tuī bàn ge xiǎoshí ma?

Could you possibly push the meeting back half an hour?

你这个周末要是能抽空，能不能帮我把那个方案看一下？

Nǐ zhè ge zhōu mò yào shi néng chōu kòng, néng bu néng bāng wǒ bǎ nà ge fāng àn kàn yí xià?

When you find yourself with some downtime this weekend, maybe you could finally look over that proposal for me.

我们需要实行更严格的排班制度，确保每个人全天都能尽职尽责。

Wǒmen xūyào shíxíng gèng yángé de páibān zhìdù, quèbǎo měi gè rén quán tiān dōu néng jìn zhí jìn zé。

We need to implement a stricter scheduling system to ensure everyone is pulling their weight throughout the day.

我目前在找新工作。

Wǒ mùqián zài zhǎo xīn gōngzuò。

I'm currently looking for a new position.

我知道我们时间很紧，但是我们绝对不能在质量控制上偷工减料。

Wǒ zhīdào wǒmen shíjiān hěn jǐn, dànshì wǒmen juéduì bù néng zài zhìliàng kòngzhì shàng tōu gōng jiǎn liào。

I know we're pressed for time, but we absolutely cannot afford to cut corners on quality control.

我们花了下午大部分时间讨论新商业战略的长期可行性。

Wǒmen huāle xiàwǔ dàbùfen shíjiān tǎolùn xīn shāngyè zhànlüè de chángqī kěxíngxìng。

We spent the better part of the afternoon discussing the long-term viability of the new business strategy.

尽管时间很紧，我们还是设法按时交付了最终报告，完全兑现了诺言。

Jǐnguǎn shíjiān hěn jǐn, wǒmen háishì shèfǎ ànshí jiāofùle zuìzhōng bàogào, wánquán duìxiànle nuòyán。

Despite the tight deadline, we managed to deliver the final report right on schedule, exactly as promised.

从历史上看，每当他们推出新政策，员工都需要几个月来适应。

Cóng lìshǐshàng kàn, měi dāng tāmen tuīchū xīn zhèngcè, yuángōng dōu xūyào jǐ ge yuè lái shìyìng.

Historically speaking, whenever they introduce a new policy, it takes a few months for the staff to adjust.

你听说新的职位空缺了吗？

Nǐ tīngshuō xīn de zhíwèi kòngquē le ma?

Did you hear about the new job opening?

如果你不介意牺牲午休时间，我们今天早上可以尽量抽空开个快速会议。

Rúguǒ nǐ bù jièyì xīshēng wǔxiū shíjiān, wǒmen jīntiān zǎoshang kěyǐ jǐnliàng chōukòng kāi gè kuàisù huìyì。

If you don't mind sacrificing your lunch hour, we could try to squeeze in a quick meeting this morning.

我们事先说好了，如果第三季度的结果不理想，我们就不得不重新考虑这项投资。

We agreed upfront that if the results weren't satisfactory by the third quarter, we'd have to reconsider the investment.

你觉得你会子承父业吗？

Nǐ juéde nǐ huì zǐ chéng fù yè ma?

Do you think you'll follow in your father’s footsteps professionally?

项目完成了。

Xiàngmù wánchéngle。

The project is done.
