Dear Colin,
I would like to request a permanent reduction in my hours of work from full-time to 4 days per week. My reasons for this are personal ones.I have undertaken some part-time extramural study this year and I would like to have enough time to devote to this in order to make it worthwhile.
I also have a 90-year-old mother who is becoming frailer and I would like to have more time to take care of her.
I would be happy to discuss this with you by phone if necessary. My extension is 8470.
Thank you,

如有必要,我愿意與您通過電話商議此事。我的分機號碼是8470。

Dear Tom,
You did a great job with your presentation yesterday. Your visuals were especially effective;however, I would like to make one suggestion.A few of your jokes were inappropriate to your audience.Though seemingly funny, off-color humor can quickly alienate people.I would eliminate that kind of humor when addressing a business gathering.There are enough“clean”jokes left to spice up a presentation that do not risk offending your audience.
Hope you don't mind some friendly advice.
Yours,

親愛的湯姆:
你昨天的演示報告做得很好。你的視像資料非常有效果,但是,我想提一點兒建議,你有幾處笑料做得不太適合聽眾。雖然聽起來很好笑,但是庸俗的玩笑很快就會使人反感。當我在商務聚會的場合講話時,我是不會采用這種幽默方式的。除去這幾處,你報告中其余的那些“凈口”笑料也足夠給演示報告增添趣味,而且不會冒得罪聽眾的風險。
希望你不介意這些善意的忠告。

During the past two weeks you have called in sick three times, bringing your total sick days for the year to 15.If this pattern continues, we will no longer be able to employ you.
As you know, we discussed these problems in detail on Thursday, May 6,in your quarterly review. I told you then that you had no more sick days.I also reviewed with you the various ailments that you claimed to be suffering from when you called in sick the thirteen times prior to our meeting.After our discussion, you said you were feeling much better.I also informed you that if you were to call in sick once more without medical verification, we would terminate your employment.
We feel you can make a good contribution to our corporate effort, and hopethat you will overcome this recurring problem. You have significant potential.
Yours truly,
Alice Qing
親愛的保羅:
你的寫作技能是我們公司的財富,但是,你不能做到每周工作5天,且不能按時完成任務,這已使我們的生產進度變慢,并且可能危及你的飯碗。過去的兩周內你請了3次病假,這使得你的病假天數在本年度內已達到15天。如果你繼續以這種方式工作,我們將不會再雇傭你。
你知道,我們在5月6日你的季度評審中詳細討論過這些問題。我當時就告訴過你,你已經沒有病假可請了。在我們談話前,你請了13次病假,當時我還和你一起復核了你聲稱自己患的各種病癥。這次討論后,你說你覺得好多了。我還告知你,如果你再次沒有醫生證明就請病假,我們就要解雇你。
我們認為你能夠為我們共同努力的事業做出積極的貢獻,同時,我們希望你能夠克服這個一再發生的毛病。其實,你是很有潛力的。

Dear all,
Mr. Wang has commented to me several times in the last month about employees playing games on the computers.This is not an efficient use of company time, or of the new office network.
I know that the games are usually played while you are waiting for important information, but there is no excuse for playing computer games on company time. Therefore I must request that you avoid the games altogether while at work.I believe if we do this we will see a rise in productivity.Please call me in my office if you have feedback for me regarding this matter.

王先生上個月已經跟我談過幾次有關員工在電腦上玩兒游戲的事情了。這不是對上班時間和新辦公網絡的有效利用。
我知道,當你們等待重要信息時,通常會玩兒些游戲,但是,你們沒有任何理由在上班時間玩兒電腦游戲。因此,我必需提出要求,即工作時間禁止玩兒任何游戲。我相信,如果我們能做到這一點,我們生產力一定會有所提高。如果對此事有什么反饋意見,請打電話到我的辦公室。

Dear all,
I would like to pass on the concern I feel regarding employees who consistently arrive late for work. While I realize that traffic in the morning is heavier due to highway construction, it is still important for staff to be in their offices ready to begin work at 9:00 a.m.I know that it may require extra effort, but punctuality is an important element of customer service.
We appreciate the dedication and hard work that all the members of our staff give, and hope that this problem can be nipped in the bud before it becomes serious. If you have suggestions regarding measures we can take as a company to ease the challenges caused by increased traffic problems, please bring them to our next staff meeting for discussion.

我們非常感謝所有員工的敬業精神和辛勤勞動。我希望此問題能夠盡快得到解決而不是愈演愈烈,如何解決交通擁堵日益嚴重所帶來的問題?哪位員工如果有可在整個公司實施的辦法,請在我們的下一次員工大會上提出來供大家討論。
