A: 我们继续进行吧。下一个议题—我们应当如何提升员工的生产力。

A: Could I just interrupt for a moment?
B: Yes, Karen. Do you want to add something?
A: I am wondering if we can relaunch the fiction range with new modern cover. Based on one of the reports, people nowadays prefer reading books that look cool. In other words, they actually judge books by their covers.
B: I think Karen has made a very good point. Karen, thanks for bringing it up.
A: 我可以打断一下吗?
B: 当然了,凯伦,你想要补充些什么吗?
A: 我在想我们是否能搭配现代感的新封面,重新发行小说系列。根据其中一篇报告指出,现代人更喜欢阅读看起来很时尚的书籍。也就是说,他们其实是用书的封面来评判书。
B: 我觉得凯伦提出了一个很好的论点。凯伦,谢谢你将它提出来。
