Launching a New Product 會議溝通技巧：推出新產品 Kelly is a vice president of a multinational computer and hardware company. She is having a meeting with Vincent, an R&D engineering manager. They are discussing the deadline for a new tablet’s release. 凱莉是一家跨國電腦與硬體公司的副總裁，她正在和研發工程經理文森開會。他們正在討論新的平板電腦的上市日期。 Kelly: The next issue I would like to focus on is the release date. Vincent, I’d like to hear your views on that. 凱莉：接下來我想要專注討論的問題是產品的上市日期。文森，我想要聽聽你的意見。 Vincent: Well, I would say that we should probably be able to start testing the product by the end of January. That means if all goes well, we can have a first release in February or March. 文森：嗯，我想我們應該可以在一月底前開始測試產品。這代表如果一切進行地順利，我們可以在二月或三月開始首波發行。 Kelly: February or March…well, from my point of view, that sounds a bit too late. I tend to favor scheduling the launch date at least one or two months before then. Reliable sources say our main competitor, Five Star, is slated to roll out their latest tablet model in March. I suggest that we should launch our product in January. 凱莉：二月或三月？嗯，在我看來，這有點太遲了。我傾向支持把發行日訂在至少一到兩個月前。可靠消息來源指出，我們主要的競爭者五星，預計在三月發行最新的平板電腦機型。我建議我們應該在一月發行我們的新平板電腦。 Vincent: I see. Well, I am afraid that it seems to me that January is much too early. Actually we are still having some major problems with the bugs in the thermal design. I think it will take at least 1 to 2 weeks to resolve that issue. 文森：我瞭解你的意思。不過恐怕目前看來一月太早了。事實上，我們遇到一些關於散熱設計瑕疵的重大問題，我們至少得花一到兩個禮拜才能完全解決這個問題。 Kelly: If I understood you correctly, you’re saying that we can’t launch in January. Is that correct? 凱莉：如果我沒搞錯的話，你的意思是我們不能在一月發行，對嗎？ Vincent: Perhaps I wasn’t being clear enough. Basically what I am trying to say is that we need more time. 文森：或許我剛剛講得不夠清楚，基本上我想說的是我們需要更多的時間。 Kelly: I’d rather have it out there in January, at least by the end of the month. Can we do that? 凱莉：我還是希望能夠在一月發表，至少在一月底之前。我們可以做到嗎？ Vincent: I will talk with my engineers on the R&D team and work out a schedule with them to start testing in December. 文森：我和會研發團隊的工程師們討論看看，擬定在十二月時開始測試的時程表。 Kelly: Can we be sure then that we can launch by the end of January? 凱莉：確定在一月底前能夠發行嗎？ Vincent: Given that we are left with no alternatives, I will do all I can. 文森：因為目前沒有轉圜的餘地，我會盡我所能達成目標。 |
