Exercise 2
Listen to the following extract from the conversation between Grant, Buckhurst and Peter, which shows how the situation progressed. Try to complete the gaps, using no more than three words in each case.
Grant: |
What's the next item … … … , William? |
William Buckhurst: |
We've got … … of Alfred Wentworth, of Wentworth & Company. He ought … … … to join the Board. |
Grant: |
It's unfortunate, but … … … he now owns … … … that his election is inevitable. Don't put that … … … , William! |
Peter: |
I would like to propose that … … … , John Martin, should also be asked … … … . In the time he has been here he has … … … and done much … … … . I think if he was made … … his advice … … … would be invaluable. |
Grant: |
Well, perhaps next year I... |
Peter: |
Be careful. H.G. You don't want … … … . There must be a lot of companies who'd be … … … him … … . We can't afford … … … . |
Grant: |
What do you think, William? |
Buckhurst: |
It might be a good idea … … the support … … , H.G. |
Grant: |
Very well. As the character … … … is changing so completely, this is probably … … ... . John would be … … … to Wentworth. If everyone agrees... |
Peter: |
Yes. |
Buckhurst: |
Agreed. |
Grant: |
William, will you draft … … about these … … then? |
Buckhurst: |
Yes, I will. |
Exercise 3
Act as an interpreter.
Grant: Now the next item on the agenda is to consider a report with recommendations tabled by you, William, on budgetary control. Perhaps you'd like to give us an outline of your proposals.
Бакхерст: Как вам известно, я недавно прослушал курс по финансовому учету, в результате чего я пришел к выводу, что нам необходимо проводить анализ состояния бухгалтерских счетов чаще, чем сейчас.
Grant: At present the accounts are done every quarter.
Бакхерст: Да, но поквартальные отчеты не позволяют вести более детальный контроль бюджета. Если компания неожиданно понесет убытки, мы должны быть в состоянии немедленно отреагировать на ситуацию. Если мы не отреагируем сразу же, то можем просто не успеть предотвратить еще большие убытки.
Grant: Well, if sales go down, we reduce stocks, which means cutting down purchases and, if necessary, we reduce personnel.
Бакхерст: Конечно, но информацию мы должны все-таки получать гораздо оперативнее, чем сейчас. Если прибыль начнет сокращаться - или от продажи готовой продукции, или с оборота капитала, - то, возможно, надо будет поднять цены, сократить производственные затраты и т.д. Но для этого мы должны иметь наготове нужную информацию.
Grant: What do you propose?
Бакхерст: Я бы хотел поделить всю фирму на учетно-калькуляционные подразделения.
Grant: What does all this mean?
Бакхерст: Каждый менеджер будет отвечать, по крайней мере, за одно учетно-калькуляционное подразделение. В его обязанности будет входить своевременное прогнозирование доходов и расходов этого подразделения. Затем мы сведем расчеты всех подразделений вместе. Одобренные всеми нами, они и составят годовой бюджет или финансовый план нашей компании. Если реальные доходы и расходы будут значительно расходиться с запланированным бюджетом, то ответственность за это будет нести менеджер данного подразделения, и ему придется объяснить нам причины таких расхождений с прогнозом и принять соответствующие меры.
Grant: Will you let us have more details about this budgetary control, exactly how it would operate and so on?
Бакхерст: Конечно.
Grant: Now let's get on. The next item on the agenda is a recommendation that we buy two lorries for the Transport Department ...
