Job Performance Review  工作表現回顧

Hank is now talking to another employee, Julia Wilson,about her job performance review.

H: Julia, I’m not going to waste your time, so I’m just going to cut to the chase. I believe you’ve seen your review.

J: Yes, I looked it over yesterday and again this morning.

H: I’m sad to say that your performance hasn’t met our expectations.

J: I can see that. I didn’t think I was doing so poorly, though.

H: I know it’s tough to receive criticism, but you should look at this as a chance to get valuable feedback.

J: I guess so. You made a lot of comments about my work.

H: That’s true. I tried to be as specific as possible. That way, I could point out the exact areas you need to improve.

漢　克： 茱莉亞，我不想浪費妳的時間，所以我就切入正題了。我想妳已經看到妳的評鑑了吧。

茱莉亞： 有啊，昨天跟今天早上我都大概看過一遍了。
漢　克： 我很抱歉的跟妳說，妳的表現並未達到我們的預期。
茱莉亞： 我可以瞭解，但我覺得我做得並不差。
漢　克： 我知道接受批評的滋味不好受，但妳應該把它當作是個機會，能獲得寶貴的意見。
茱莉亞： 我想是吧。對於我的工作表現，您給了很多意見。
漢　克： 沒錯。我盡可能的具體化。這樣我就可以確切指出妳需要改善的地方。
