商務(wù)英語播客 第72課:處理危機之獲取看法
This is the third in our Business English Pod series on handling a crisis. In the first part of a crisis, there may be a lot of confusion and activity. But if you make it through that part okay, what comes next?
這是有關(guān)處理危機的3節(jié)系列課程的第3節(jié)課。在危機的前半部分，會有很多混亂和行動。如果你度過了這個階段，接下來會怎么樣呢?
At a certain point after the critical phase, people will come together to re-evaluate the situation. Team work is important. People need to be working together to handle the crisis. If they don’t, if they disagree and try to go in different directions, it won’t be good for the company. Unity is absolutely essential. It takes good leadership to establish that unity early on, but it takes good team work to maintain it.
在危險期過后的某個時候，人們會聚集到一起重新評估狀況。團隊工作十分重要。人們需要協(xié)同工作來處理危機。如果人們不能協(xié)同工作，如果他們不同意或是按不同的方向行動，這對公司沒有好處。團結(jié)是必要的。需要好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)來盡早建立團結(jié)，但是也要靠好的團隊來維持團結(jié)。
In our last lesson, we heard Mike the production engineer talking with the VP of Communications in Singapore, Monika. She was getting some information from Mike about an accident and creating a communication plan. That was still the critical phase of the crisis.

We’ll hear Mike and Monika, as well asFrank the American boss, Sandy the plant manager, and a lawyer named Simone. Let’s listen as they try to gain perspective on the crisis and figure out how well they’ve handled the situation so far.
