Hello, James, do sit down. Right, as you know, our Nottingham centre has had a significant drop in income over the last few months. In fact, it's doing much worse than our other British centres, for reasons we haven't really been able to get to the bottom of. The situation is now pretty worrying, and even if immediate action is taken, I don't expect Nottingham to return to profitability this year. Now, it seems to me we have two options facing us. The first is to see if we can create a strategy to keep the operation going, and the second is to close it down completely. What's your feeling about it? Closing it down would be a disaster. You know, when there was a situation like this in the European division, they turned it around with a special promotion which worked very well. Do you remember this time last year, when we thought we'd have to sell some of the French centres? Well, now they're doing well and we didn't even have to spend any extra money on them, either. Yes, that's true. But Nottingham has lost nearly a million in the six months and we can't afford to keep absorbing that kind of loss.
James你好，請(qǐng)坐。如你所知，我們諾丁漢中心在過去幾個(gè)月的收入有顯著的下滑。事實(shí)上，諾丁漢中心比其它的英國(guó)中心差，原因我們暫時(shí)還不清楚?，F(xiàn)在的形勢(shì)非常地嚴(yán)峻，即使現(xiàn)在有立即的行動(dòng)開始，我不敢奢望諾丁漢今年會(huì)有利潤(rùn)收回?，F(xiàn)在，似乎我們面前有兩個(gè)抉擇。第一個(gè)選擇是如果我們有一個(gè)計(jì)策使我們的經(jīng)營(yíng)繼續(xù)下去，而第二個(gè)選擇就是把諾丁漢關(guān)了。你覺得怎么樣？ 把諾丁漢關(guān)了會(huì)是一個(gè)損失。你知道，如果這種情況發(fā)生在歐洲的大部門，他們會(huì)用一個(gè)特別的推廣來使公司好轉(zhuǎn)。你還記得去年的這個(gè)時(shí)候，當(dāng)我們考慮我們要銷售一些法國(guó)中心嗎？現(xiàn)在這些法國(guó)中心營(yíng)運(yùn)得非常好，而且我們也不用在他們身上花額外的錢。 是的，但是諾丁漢中心 在去年六個(gè)月已經(jīng)損失了將近一百萬，我們也沒有能力去承受這些損失。 解析： Get to the bottom of sth. 事物的起因、根源 Profitability the quality of affording gain or benefit or profit 收益性 同義詞： profitableness 反義詞： unprofitableness，unprofitability Division n. 大機(jī)構(gòu)的部門 In a large organization, a division is a group of departments whose work is done in the same place or is connected with similar tasks Turn around (使)好轉(zhuǎn)；使復(fù)蘇 becomes successful, after being unsuccessful for a period of time. If something such as a business or economy turns around, or if someone turns it around, it e.g. In his long career at BP, Horton turned around two entire divisions... 霍頓在英國(guó)石油公司漫長(zhǎng)的職業(yè)生涯中曾經(jīng)讓兩個(gè)部門整體上起死回生。 If a group is absorbed into a larger group, it becomes part of the larger group. Absorb v.合并；兼并；吸收并同化 e.g. The Colonial Office was absorbed into the Foreign Office. 殖民部被并入了外交部。
