对话演练
(Helen proposes to Scott activities for motivating the staff.)
（海伦向斯科特提出了激励员工活动的建议。）
Scott：Hi Helen. I had my meeting with human resources last week and they've approved us to give the business intelligence team a every three months.
正确答案是：
斯科特：你好，海伦，我上周已经与人力资源部的人员会面，他们批准我们每三个月给商业情报团队薪酬激励的措施。
Helen：That's great! Was it difficult to get?
海伦：太好了！这个难办吗？
Scott：Well, they weren't too keen on the idea at first because they thought it would mean the business intelligence team being more than the other departments, excluding the sales teams obviously.
正确答案是：
斯科特：开始时，他们对这个想法并不是很感兴趣，因为他们认为，这样做就意味着除了销售团队，商业情报团队比其他部门获得更多的奖励。
Helen：So, how did you them?
正确答案是：
海伦：那么，你怎么说服他们的？
Scott：I told them how important the work of the business intelligence team is. Also, Brad really supports this idea.
斯科特：我告诉他们商业情报队的工作有多重要。而且，布莱德确实支持这个想法。
Helen：Fantastic! I've spoken to Carlotta, the manager of the business intelligence team, about fun day out activities, and we've with some ideas.
正确答案是：
海伦：太棒了！我和商业情报团队经理卡洛塔谈“好玩一日游”的事情，我们提出了一些想法。
Scott：Great, I'd like to hear those.
斯科特：太好了，我想听听。
Helen：Every six months, Carlotta and Brad would select a staff member who had done more than their job requires or someone who had made a special to the team. They could have their fun day out activities, then.
正确答案是：
海伦：每六个月，卡洛塔和布拉德会选择一名超额完成工作的或为团队作出特殊贡献的员工。那么他就可参加“好玩一日游”活动。
Scott： OK, how's that going to be fairly measured?
斯科特：好的，那怎样公平评判呢？
Helen：Basically, any extra projects that are done over the next six months will be looked at, and if one member of staff does more than just their basic job then they'll get the prize.
正确答案是：
海伦：基本上，在未来六个月完成的额外项目将列入考察范围，如果员工超额完成工作，那么他们将得到奖品。
Scott：Great. What's the prize?
斯科特：太好了。奖品是什么？
Helen：Well, because men and women in the team are interested in different things, we should avoid giving them something they don't want.
海伦：因为团队中男员工和女员工感兴趣的事情不同，我们要避免给他们并不想要的东西。
Scott：Good point! What's your ?
正确答案是：
斯科特：说得好！你的解决方案是什么？
Helen：There'd be a choice of prizes up to a value of $500 — so they can which one they want. One would be vouchers to spend in a shop or a restaurant. However, to make it more fun, we thought we'd choose things like a weekend get-away at a luxury hotel, or motor car racing at a famous race track, that sort of thing.
正确答案是：
海伦：可以选择价值500美元的奖品，这样他们可以选择他们想要的奖品。一种可以是商店或者餐厅的消费券。但为了让它更有意思，我们认为可以选择周末外出到豪华酒店度假，或者在一个知名赛道赛车，诸如此类的吧。
Scott：Sounds great!
斯科特：听起来不错！
