、.課文篇
The first step to being a successful manager by admitting you don’t have all the answers. Your co-workers know that you can’t solve all the problems by yourself, so they will be watching to see what you do.
要做一個成功的經理人第一步就要承認你不是全能。你的同事知道你自己不能解決所有的問題,因此他們會留意你做的事情。
Top management at your company also knows you won’t have the answers and are looking to see how you find them. Be yourself and remember that your failures will be forgiven if you are honest and tried to do the right thing.
公司的高層管理人也知道你不是知道所有問題的答案,他們看你如何發(fā)現(xiàn)它們。做你自己,記住你的失誤會得到諒解的,只要你是誠實的,而且你本想做正確的事情。
- Stay focused. Your job is to manage the department, not become friends with your employees or do their jobs if they can’t. Make sure you have a clear job description and then sit down with your supervisor and find out exactly what expectations he or she has for you.
。ぷ鲗WⅰD愕墓ぷ魇枪芾砟硞部門,而不是去成為雇員的朋友或者如果他們不行的話就去做他們的工作。確保你有一份明確的工作描述,然后和你的上司坐下來,弄清楚他/她對你有什么期望。
- Go through the job description line by line. Prioritize the tasks and find out what any vague wording exactly means. Then it is the time to ask questions and to point out any tasks that you feel aren’t under your control.
逐字仔細閱讀工作描述。把各項工作的優(yōu)先次序區(qū)別開來,然后弄懂那些模糊的措辭確切指的是什么。接下來的時間是提問題,并把你認為不是你的管轄范圍內的工作指出來。
- Involve your staff. Chances are your older employees have seen it all. They will be able to tell you what’s a potential problem and what isn’t. If you’re asked to solve a problem, go to them for advice before you try to come up with anything on your own.
請教你的員工。老員工經歷過所有的事情。他們能告訴你什么是潛在的問題,什么不是。如果有人要你去解決一個問題,在自己設法想出任何法子之前先去聽聽他們的高見。
- Don’t make massive changes all at once. New managers frequently want to come in and totally redesign processes and systems to show how smart they are. There may be some necessary but for the first few months, keep things the way they are. Chances are the systems and processes have a history and have good reasons for being in place. If there are major areas you could change right away, you’ll still look like a more thoughtful manager if you ask for advice and get input from others, then propose a change in a reasonable timeframe.
不要一下子做出大幅度的改動。新上任的經理通常想一步到位,并重新制定所有的方法和制度,以炫耀他們有多聰明。改動也許有必要,不過不是在最初的幾個月里,剛開始時要保留原來的東西。那些制度和方法有一段歷史了,它們有它們存在的好理由。若是你可以馬上進行大幅度改動,那么先征詢建議并聽取別人的意見,然后在一個合適的時間提出改動,這樣你更像個考慮周到的經理。
- Be a good communicator. Employees respect a manager who tells them what they did wrong without laying blame - you’ll go far with your employees if you admit a mistake you made before you talk to them about mistakes they’ve made. Employees also look for a leader who knows when to pass on important company information, when to go to the next level with a concern, and when to crack down on the rumor mill.
進行良好的溝通。雇員敬重那些告訴他們做錯了什么,而沒有去指責他們的經理-如果你在對雇員說他們犯了什么錯誤之前先承認你犯了一個錯誤,雇員會更加敬重你。雇員還希望領導知道什么時候傳達公司的重要信息,惦記什么時候去找上一級領導,以及什么時候進行辟謠。
Remember, your job is to facilitate the work of your employees,but not to do it for them!
記。耗愕墓ぷ魇鞘构蛦T的工作更容易,而不是為他們做事!

Forty years ago, no one could have imagined the impact that computers would have on the world. Indeed Thomas J Watson, Chairman of the Board of IBM said in the 1950s that he thought "there was a world market for about only five computers." With more than 700 million computers on earth today, Mr Watson was clearly wrong.
四十年前,沒有人能想象計算機會給世界帶來(如此大)的沖擊。確實是這樣,IBM (美國國際商用機器公司)的總裁,托馬斯·J·華特森在五十年代說過他認為“計算機的世界市場大約只有五臺”。今天地球上擁有7億臺計算機,很顯然,華特森先生錯了。
As most people know, you need hardware and software to make a computer work. Hardware includes the computer screen, the mouse, keyboard and of course the central processing unit that does all of the hard work for you.
正如大多數(shù)人所了解的,要想讓一臺計算機工作,你需要有硬件和軟件。硬件包括計算機屏幕、鼠標、鍵盤,當然還有為你做所有艱苦工作的CUP(中央處理器)。
Software includes the computer’s operating system, games and office productivity software (like PowerPoint or Word). Software is a form of intellectual property and is entitled to just as much protection as real property like your car or your home.
軟件包括計算機的操作系統(tǒng)、游戲以及辦公軟件(如PowerPoint 或者 Word )。軟件是知識產權的一種形式,而且應該受到和你的不動產,如汽車或者房子等一樣的保護。
Nobody would say that to steal hardware was OK, but millions of people around the world think that it is perfectly acceptable to steal software by copying it. Copying software and giving it away or selling it is stealing and therefore wrong.
沒有人會說偷硬件是可行的,不過世界上數(shù)百萬人認為以拷貝的方式來偷軟件是完全可以接受的?截愜浖徒o別人或者銷售出去都是偷竊行為,因此這是錯誤的。
Software can be expensive - often more than you can afford - but that is no reason to think it is OK to steal it or buy a pirated copy. Mercedes Benz cars are also expensive, but I cannot just go out and help myself to one just because I want one.
軟件可能很昂貴-通常超出你的支付能力-但是沒有理由認為偷竊或購買盜版是可行的。奔馳車也很貴,可是不能僅僅因為想要一輛就可以出去自己解決。
Software is expensive to develop. If developers cannot make money by selling their software, how will they fund the development of new software to make our lives even easier?
開發(fā)軟件很貴。如果開發(fā)商不能通過銷售他們的軟件來掙錢,他們又怎么能投資開發(fā)新軟件,以使我們的生活變得更輕松?

、.課文篇
A well-organized company knows the power and value of information. One of the main problems with information though, is how to collect, store and manage all of the information so that anyone needing it can access it easily.
管理有序的公司知道信息的力量和價值。但與之相關的的主要問題之一是怎樣收集、保存和管理所有的信息,以便任何有需要的人能夠方便地查閱。
Multinationals have understood this issue for many years and have well developed company libraries. Just like your university, school or city, a company library contains books, magazines, journals and periodicals as well as electronic documents, films, videos and audio materials.
跨國公司意識到這個問題已經很多年了,已建立了完善的公司圖書館。正像你的大學、學校或城市里的圖書館一樣,公司圖書館里存有圖書、雜志、報紙和期刊,以及電子文件,電影、錄像和錄音資料。
A company library does not have to be the same as a city or university library. You don’t need a special quiet room or even a full-time librarian. What is needed is someone responsible for gathering and storing interesting publications and a central place to store them.
公司的圖書館沒有必要跟城市或大學里的圖書館一樣。你不需要有一間特別安靜的房間,甚至不需要一個全職的圖書管理員,只要有一個人專門負責收集和保存有趣的刊物,有一個集中的地方來收藏這些刊物就可以了。
If you work in a large company, appointing a full-time librarian might be a good idea. A librarian’s job is to keep a current knowledge of all of the relevant and necessary publications that the company might need, manage the purchasing of materials and then oversee the storage of the publications. A good librarian will also be able to offer assistance to staff who need to use the company library to find research materials and information.
如果你在一家大公司工作,做一個全職的圖書管理員可能是個不錯的主意。圖書管理員的工作是要隨時了解到公司可能需要的所有相關和必要刊物的最新消息,負責購買資料以及監(jiān)督刊物的收藏情況。好的圖書管理員還應該能夠為需要公司圖書館查找研究資料和信息的員工提供幫助。
Maintaining a company library is not cheap, but it does not have to be expensive, either. But consider the risk of not having a central well managed place where important publications can be stored - your competitors could well get the jump on you by having more up-to-date information that is accessible to staff.
維持一個公司圖書館花費不少但也沒必要投資太多。試想如果沒有一個管理有序的集中收藏重要刊物的地方會帶來的風險-你的競爭對手可能會因為能給員工提供更多的最新資訊而遠遠地超過你。
Can you afford not to have a library?
你能承擔得起沒有圖書館(的風險)嗎?
、.對話篇
Jeff: That’s an armful of books you have there, Joan.
杰夫:瓊,你那兒的書可真多。
Joan: I got these from our company library.
瓊:我從我們公司圖書館借來的。
Jeff: Do you have a research project to do for the boss?
杰夫:你要給老板做項目調查嗎?
Joan: No - I just want to keep up-to-date with the latest information.
瓊:不,我只想了解最新的信息。
Jeff: Wow - you really are a dedicated employee.
杰夫:喔,你真是一個盡職的員工。
Joan: Our company library is so easy to use, so it’s not hard to stay informed.
瓊:我們公司的圖書館使用起來很方便,所以想了解信息并不難。
Jeff: Next time you are going to the library, maybe you could take me there with you?
杰夫:下次你去圖書館的時候也許能帶我一起去。
Joan: Sure. I’d love to help you live and learn a little better.
瓊:沒問題。我很愿意幫助你生活得更好一點兒,多學一點兒知識。
